The wonderful Chicago producer Nick Stoynoff heads up the relaunch of Blake Jarrell’s incredible imprint Concentration with the remastered ‘Deserve’ EP, elevated by remixes from an impressive trio: Ranj Kaler, Zuccasam, and David Calo.

Launched in 2014 by long-time producer friends Blake Jarrell and Jeff Varisco, Concentration was a conduit for music unshackled by expectation or vested interest; art for the enjoyment of all. Originally released in 2019 as part of a dreamy double A side, ‘Deserve’ showcased Nick Stoynoff’s incredible studio skills and sound design talents. A tough soulful groover that could transport the room.

On remix duties, three on-form producers bringing their unique sound to bear on the rich sonic tapestry of Stoynoff’s melancholy journey. First up, David Calo applies a deft tribal feel allowing the sonics to form a powerful melancholic soundscape. Relentless and engaging, the plucky Argentinian mirrors the originals tough stadium feel.

Next up, Ranj Kaler takes on a wild broken beat ride with his ‘Reap Waht You Sow’ mix. Steeped in UK Bass folklore the jungle breaks feels add a new dimension.

Finally, fellow Londoner Zuccasam drops his melodic techno vision. Tough, uncompromising drums provide ample framework on which a mutating bass and sonic ear candy totally captivate.

The ‘Deserve’ EP is available here.
