After setting the scene alight with numerous killer singles,
Israeli producer Guy J releases his hotly anticipated full
length artist album with label heavyweights, Bedrock Records.

Guy J has emerged over the course of the last two years to
represent an intrinsic part of the Israeli dance music
juggernaut that has been steadily powering through clubland in
recent times. Along with fellow countrymen Guy Gerber, Sholmi
Aber, Chaim and Gel Abril, Guy has been at the forefront of a
movement back towards the melody rich sounds on which House
music is based.

Guy╞s productions, with their driving beats, shimmering synths
and journey-like qualities, embody characteristics from all
manner of House music. Guy states ⌠I didn╞t set out to write
an album √ I just wrote tracks when I was in different moods,
hence each track having different types of genres, different
influences.÷ He adds, ⌠This is the album I wanted to makeα it
has a warm soundα it╞s very sexy and really tells a story.÷

On this, his debut artist album, Guy fully exploits the
opportunity to explore the length and breadth of his creative
capacity. Alongside the dance floor orientated cuts on which
he has built his reputation, Guy straddles moods of ambient,
techno and electronica whilst constantly maintaining a melodic
and highly emotive core. Anyone who appreciated the majesty of
Nathan Fake╞s µDrowning in a Sea of Love╞ will instantly feel
at home with µEsperanza╞, as would fans of the Kompakt or
Border Community sound where the focus is first and foremost
on musicality.

µIndigo Fields╞ opens up the album perfectly and immediately
encapsulates the rich tapestry of sound for which Guy J is
famed. Following on, µNebula╞ highlights the dancefloor
focused underbelly of the album by marrying dark, driving bass
with Chicago-influenced synth-stabs that leave you doubtless
of Guy╞s sonic capabilities. µGeko╞ again picks up a strand of
the classic house blueprint albeit this time in slower and
more twisted fashion. Guy╞s first single µUnder Pressure╞
appears on the album in a slightly more restrained album
version. Flourishes of synthesis and noise appear and
disappear as the track travels patiently through peeks and
troughs of intensity.

By the time µDruma╞ jerks into the frame you realise you are
experiencing the work of a genuine musical talent. Epic slabs
of sound are stacked atop glitchy lo-fi drums which results in
a listening experience that simply swallows you whole. Closing
track µEsperanza╞ completes the journey and in archetypal Guy
J fashion it╞s a musically dense trip that is dynamic enough
to keep you hanging until the very last beat.

Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha and Tiga are among Guy╞s many
supporters thanks to consistently releasing sterling tracks.
In support of the album, the three singles µUnder Pressure╞,
µGeko╞ and µMirko╞ are all being released through Bedrock
Records in the coming weeks and months.

What is without question is that Guy has managed to produce an
album that is brimming with soul, a feat which an artist can
toil for an entire lifetime hoping to achieve.



i had to comment on this, this guy is seriously talented and imo way too underrated for the kind of music he produces. New, beautiful and fresh. His new album is great, even though the actual mix on this cd is kinda slow and chill it's still nice and relaxing (danny howells style) and the singles speak for themselves. Great album and I also strongly reccomend checking out his latest promo mix which is different from his album, stuff that you would hear him play at a club.
