Secret Music offers up ‘Laika’ from Stephane Lefrancois & James Gilvarry this April, backed with a remix from Dantiez Saunderson.
Secret Music is a London based record label launched in 2013 by Stephane Lefrancois, a Parisian artist now residing in London who’s most notably seen material released via the likes of !K7, Compsost and BBE. Here we see Stephane pair up with America-born now London based producer Jameson Gilvarry for ‘Laika’, titled after the first cosmonaut dog, and focused on the duo’s love for spaced out, analogue produced electronica.
The original mix of ‘Laika’ kicks things off and sees Lefrancois and Gilvarry deliver an atmospheric and hypnotic roller fuelled by vacillating stab sequences, murky pad lines and swinging rhythms from outboard drum machines. The outcome is an ethereal slice of electronica with a weighty low-end drive.
On the second half of the release we have a remix from up and comer Dantiez Saunderson entitled the ‘Deep Journey’s Remix’. Saunderson provides a more reduced take on the original in contrast laying the focus on raw percussion and the original’s smoky pads initially, before unleashing propulsive and infectious synth hooks to round things off.
Stephane Lefrancois & James Gilvarry’s ‘Laika’ is out on Secret Music 27th April (Vinyl) and 18th May (Digital).
