Like most of our artists, the young French producer ART BLEEK shares a rich musical background strongly rooted in the Black Music family tree & explores electronic club music through a unique touch & vision. Early noticed by DAIRMOUNT for his releases on labels such as Loungin, Rushhour, Connaisseur or Resopal, it was a logical step to ask Arthur to provide his own dimension of our "Room With A View".

The fruit of this is born as FUTURE MEMORY, a catchy & haunting Deep House number recorded as a dual voice experience with his lady Sophie on a summer day.
The track manages to mix a very unique flavor of melancholy with a twisted pop appeal and subtle "Detroit" influences.
With its nostalgic childish-like chorus & melody, the track is bound to stay in your head for a while...

The first alternative perspective of the track is given by uprising Scottish prodigy SEI A who made big waves already with his work on Imprimé, Missive, Tronicsole & his own Seinan Music imprint. Andy captures the melancholic soul of the track to flip it in a driving spooky floor monster. Definitely one of his best remixes to date...

JOEL ALTER, Swedish hotshot & one of the main recording artists of our label, noticed already for his work on Gigolo & M_nus, provides a "straight forward kickin' ass" Techno rendition of the track keeping it deep & hypnotic. Imagine this on the Berghain system in Berlin and you'll come close of the devastating effect the mix can have...

And finally, IRON & WOOD closes the EP with a heavy dosis of funkiness & minimalism showing another "facette" of the talent of Arthur.
