FACT mix 479: Ejeca




FACT Mixes show

Summary: The Belfast-bred producer draws from garage, house, gnarly techno and more, and the labels that he’s released on reflect that. His collabs with fellow Belfasters Bicep on Aus Music represented some of his springiest music to date, while his productions on the shady Tusk Wax label, for instance, were rawer and glistening under moonlight – deep house for dark nights. Elsewhere, he’s continued to return to Waze & Odyssey’s W&O Street Trax, sharing the label owners’ knack for rapturous bass grooves, launched his own label Exploris, and has recently turned heads with the thumping Space & Time EP on Bpitch Ctrl and a well-received remix for Poker Flat. Ejeca’s FACT mix finds him indulging his grubbier side with warehouse basslines, militant stabs and strings aimed straight at the 3am tingle – at points, the mix’s paranoid melodies border on micro-house, but to call this less than major does it a serious disservice. Appropriately, he’s playing London Warehouse Events on January 30, heading up a bill that also includes Citizen (who collaborates with Ejeca as Mountainking) and Sisterhood.
