Scissor & Thread US Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Francis Harris and Anthony Collins (aka Frank & Tony)'s New York label Scissor and Thread wraps up the year with another sublime deep house release from US mainstay DaRand Land, who first joined the imprint in 2016 and recently collaborated on their album Ethos. Originally from Buffalo, NY, the tasteful producer was a pioneer of Deep4Life, a Chicago-based cult label known for deep, dance floor-oriented productions and he is still turning out just that on new LP Wander Being. It's full of smoky pads, cuddly drums and bottomless grooves that hypnotise mind and body while warming the soul to its core.

Review: Frank and Tony's remix EP for their Ethos album on Scissor & Thread is an example of their excellent collaboration history and the depth of their musicality. The EP features a stellar lineup of artists reimagining tracks from the album, adding new dimensions to the original compositions. Charles Webster's remix brings his signature moody and atmospheric touch, revealing hidden layers in the track.Timmy Regisford's remix of 'Olympia' is a hypnotic journey, displaying his legendary status in the New York scene. His instrumental version of the track further highlights his ability to score uplifting house music. C.K's rework of 'By The End They Will' injects a raw and energetic feel, while Octo Octa's remix delves into deep, rave-inspired territory while maintaining the essence of the original. Overall, the remix EP is a diverse collection of talented producers that express their versions of the originals.
