Joseph Edmund – Dreams to Reality [Hot Creations]
Fast rising Manchester talent Joseph Edmund presents the scintillating Dreams to Reality, his debut release on Hot Creations following his well-received The Pressure EP on sister label Hottrax.
“From day one it’s been my biggest goal to release on Hot Creations, it’s my favourite label and the one I’ve admired from the start, so naming the EP Dreams to Reality was a must! When making Norrr I wanted to create a lot of atmosphere on the break with the vocals, then drop it clean to get a huge reaction. Then with Fuego, it was all about making a funky 303 groove. Both feature my own sampled vocal hits just to make it that bit more personal.” Joseph Edmund
Norrr kicks off with a chunky, addictive house beat, as playful vocals are injected before the introduction of a whirring bassline. The foot is then taken off the gas as the track breathes, before being hurled back into a peak time cut. On Fuego, zippy electronics combine with sirens, whistles and vocal loops, in a piece that is both charming and devious when these elements become tightly fused.
