the film was shot in 2011. we started the project spontaneously in february in burkina faso and two shots from there even survived over the process. we continued to shoot additional scenes at the north sea cost without still knowing all of the story we would be telling at the end. then in hamburg we shot most of the scenes and finished it in brussels in july.
From ambient soundscapes, downtempo vocal tracks and slo-mo house, through to deliciously deep house, tech-house and acid grooves, “It Is What It Is” is the supremely exciting debut artist album from Stelios Vassiloudis, out now on Bedrock. “Reaching” is house music that is deeply sophisticated, oozing spacious melodic beauty, ebbing and flowing with supreme ease. As with the whole album, it feels like a truly inspired journey to the heart, mind and soul of an extremely talented musician, producer and DJ.
These two new Stelios remixes of "Reaching" are bound to tickle your musical taste buds. The "Dub" is essentially a more club-friendly version of the album cut and stays quite true to the original's elements and overall vibe while giving it some more momentum and dynamics. With his "Remix" Stelios has given himself more artistic licence to push the boundaries, giving “Reaching” an exciting, completely different twist.
“I've been a huge fan of Samuel L Sessions’ productions for many years so I'm really excited to have him remix one of the tracks from my album. I had a good feeling that "Reaching" would be well suited to Samuel’s production style and I think the end result emphatically confirms it.” - Stelios Vassiloudis

Richie G is a prodigiously talented eighteen-year-old electronic music producer and DJ from Montreal, Canada, who you should already have on your music radar having released his debut, self-produced, “Baum” EP on Haçienda Records last year and his previous remixes for Traum and, not forgetting, Luis Junior’s “BG” (Bed91) when he was only fifteen!
He has received great support from within the Montreal scene and from this springboard has also pricked up the ears of major names such as John Digweed, Sasha, James Zabiela and Hernan Cattaneo (who along with Jesper Dahlback also remixed “Vorbendacht” from the “Baum” EP).
“Eterna” and “But Her Fly” display all the hallmarks of the supremely sumptuous techno-edged electronic music that Richie G produces. Euphoric, beautiful, highly individual and inventive in equal measures, his depth of musical knowledge and finely honed production skills belie his young age. Bedrock brings you two superb tracks from one of the hottest talents around in 2012.
Produced by legendary drum'n'bass and jungle maestro Shy FX and featuring Ms Dynamite, this old skool, reggae-infused carnival jam is out now on Ministry of Sound/Levels Entertainment.
