Canada's Tim Penner joins the label with the sensational 'Counting Sails EP'.

Toronto-based Tim Penner broke onto the scene back in 2011 and quickly rose through the ranks to have music signed to JOOF, Replug, microCastle and more culminating in his Beatport #1 album in November last year, and a coveted Mixmag Album of the Month accolade. Beginning his own label, Slideways, in 2014 he diversified seamlessly into behind the scenes business as well as continuing to excite the crowds with his incendiary DJ sets. An artist dedicated to the intricacies of production fuelled by his passion and love for music.

Opening with 'Counting Sails', dark textures, sparse percussion and airy pads create a rich tapestry of sound ebbing and flowing with the beat. Reaching fever pitch midway, wonky bells and nuanced FX add tension. On 'Flight of Antibes', field recordings and found sounds create a unique texture and feel. Gaining pace with melodics midway the main break is an oasis of calm amid the chaos. Finally on 'Aksidents' tribal rhythms show a darker side to the Penner sound. Warm and expansive, it weaves a tale of deepness with evolving sonics that transport the listener in a way only Tim Penner can.
