UK producer Archie Hamilton releases his debut album \u2018Archive Fiction\u2019, forthcoming on Moscow Records. Written as a first-person exploration of the positive transformational effect of house music, it\u2019s a narrative of a life-changing night on a dancefloor.<\/p>\n
Informed by Archie\u2019s extensive experiences in clubs since his early teens, \u2018Archive Fiction\u2019 is ten tracks seamlessly mixed together into one complete body of work. Merging Archie\u2019s rich musical upbringing with more contemporary tastes, the LP incorporates his signature and trademark minimal styles with a myriad of influences including trip-hop, dub-techno, acid jazz, drum\u2019n\u2019bass and house.<\/p>\n
The early tones of the LP are rooted in the melancholic sentiments of first tracks \u2018Six Years Later\u2019 and \u2018Lifted\u2019. Embracing dark and downtempo elements, the changing pace of \u2018Relax Your Body\u2019 then flips to a more positive trajectory and into one of the album\u2019s most pivotal moments, \u2018Make The Difference\u2019 feat. Mr V. An anthemic slice of smooth and soulful vocal deep-house, this track is geared towards invoking a sense of complete sanctuary and letting go of all worries.<\/p>\n
The heads-down \u2018Can\u2019t Be Serious\u2019 takes the listener into more rolling territory and leads into another key moment on the LP, \u2018Eye of the Storm\u2019 featuring vocals from drum\u2019n\u2019bass royalty, Onallee. The ex-member of infamous Reprazent crew came out of semi retirement to feature on this cut which draws on Archie\u2019s early Bristolian experiences.<\/p>\n
The sparse and stripped-back \u2018Dustin Off Man\u2019 is an ode to Archie\u2019s love of dub-techno, one of his fundamental entry points into electronic music inspired by early masters of the genre Rod Modell and Moritz Von Oswald.<\/p>\n
The sumptuous and atmospheric \u2018A Little Lower\u2019 slows the pace and invokes a journey through dub and acid jazz, recorded with the live bass guitar acoustics of Navid Asghari, a composition inspired by Archie\u2019s affinity to the likes of Portishead, DJ Krush and Thievery Corporation.<\/p>\n
The soulful and life affirming sensations of \u2018Quicksand\u2019 roll into the album\u2019s crescendo, \u2018Waisted\u2019, a vibrant and powerful slice of the signature Archie Hamilton sound, geared for peak-time energy.<\/p>\n
An album fuelled by over 10 years of production experience and a lifetime committed to music, \u2018Archive Fiction\u2019 is a debut that showcases the breadth of Archie\u2019s palate as a producer and his ability to transcend the world of underground house.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":391877,"template":"","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[12362],"product_tag":[],"giftcard-category":[],"musicartist":[17133],"musiclabel":[17135],"musicstyle":[37914,37955],"distributormusic":[10834],"musicyear":[],"musiccountry":[],"weekmusic":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-391888","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-out-of-stock","7":"musicartist-archie-hamilton","8":"musiclabel-moscow-records","9":"musicstyle-deep-house","10":"musicstyle-house","11":"distributormusic-one-nation","13":"first","14":"outofstock","15":"featured","16":"taxable","17":"shipping-taxable","18":"purchasable","19":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/391888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=391888"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=391888"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=391888"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=391888"},{"taxonomy":"musicartist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicartist?post=391888"},{"taxonomy":"musiclabel","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiclabel?post=391888"},{"taxonomy":"musicstyle","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicstyle?post=391888"},{"taxonomy":"distributormusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/distributormusic?post=391888"},{"taxonomy":"musicyear","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicyear?post=391888"},{"taxonomy":"musiccountry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiccountry?post=391888"},{"taxonomy":"weekmusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weekmusic?post=391888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
