about

London-based producer Bearface delivers two absolutely irresistible cuts on his Harlesden Shuffle EP for the first release of 2024 on Lava Lava. The record is an ode to the creative freedoms of Jazz with each track as perfect for candle-lit bars as they are for free and easy dancefloors.

Title track Harlesden Shuffle opens up with driving 4/4 drum patterns, sub-heavy bass and a tripped out vocal sample. A hypnotic trumpet loops lead through to a sublime rhythm section. As the trumpet becomes faster and looser so does the 808-style hand claps, creating an irresistible head-nodding and body-moving track.

On the B Side, French Orkestra is a rich and Deep tapestry where warm bass and soft trumpets bounce alongside shuffling percussion. As the track develops playful piano licks, joyful clarinets and beautiful flute sections weave throughout. Looped and warped vocals add the final layer to this cut, contrasting more modern digital production methods with stunning instrumentation.
