The House Blend EP
by Cass Lamb & Fields

Excellent split release showcasing two skilled producers, I'm quite partial to the first track in particular ("Alphonso Mango" by Cass Lamb) which has a jazzy microhouse kind of feel to it, but I also definitely have to give a very special mention to "House Blend Anthem" by Fields, which almost feels like a transcendent love letter to house / dance music in general.
Favorite track: Alphonso Mango.

about
"Did you know more coffee drinkers prefer the taste of House Blend? House Blend, you know like House Music.... wicka wicky."
Two of our favourite North East selectors, Cass Lamb & Fields stepping up with 6 hypnotic club ready tracks of loosely defined house music incorporating a breadth of sounds, textures, rhythms and effects.
The House Blend EP presents deep house and breakbeat executed to perfection by the duo, mirroring the journey of the party of same name, where Cass & Jonah go b2b pon the decks all night long. The wonderfully engineered shindig, set in the intimate confines of Arch 16, saw the pair initially craft a relaxed environment laying down deep and soulful tunes, before injecting energy into proceedings and unfurling a boatload of dancefloor magic. The tunes play off each other in much the same fashion, the music continuously morphing, stitching a wide-eyed smile onto your face.
Cass' subterranean and stripped back vibe compliments Fields' more nostalgic flavour exceedingly well. With nods to the hypnotic and saturated sounds of Detroit & Chicago throughout and a European influence clearly identified within the melodic and thicker style of Jonah's productions.
"House Blend is of course in reference to the unique blend of beans that coffee producers and cafes use, a parallel to our blend of loosely defined house music. The project started as a low-key evening of DJing at Arch Sixteen Café; a place that I have always enjoyed playing and championing over the years, which sadly seems to not be opening its doors again in the foreseeable future, with extended back to back sessions, from early evening til midnight, with a fairly liberal definition of ‘house’ music. Illustrating our idea of blending house music in the cafe venue, while also giving a nod to our own specific blend of house music we were playing; which includes house (obviously), deep techno, disco, electro, breakbeats, ukg, and ambient, downtempo, jazz, hip hop, 80’s new wave, and various strains of ‘world music’ (for lack of a better term), which were for the ‘warm up’ sections of the night.
This EP not only gives the chance for the pair to spill their beans as producers, but it acts as a send off for Fields, who has recently relocated to the Netherlands and a tribute to the music we played and the friendships cemented over these nights. Cass's tracks offers the deep satisfaction that any good coffee provides while Fields' tracks bring more spicier, breakbeat flavours.
ITS BEAN REAL."
