White Warning

    Staytech has become an underground imprint with some of the most unique styles of techno over the last couple of years since the birth of the label in 2017. Paul Lightfoot is now announcing the second album of his career. The prolific English producer has been recognized by some of the biggest artists in the techno scene due to the prosperity of his previous releases, and here we now have ' White Warning'.

    A very special album designed to take the listener on a journey of many different styles of the techno genre. The album consists of ten cuts each one showing its own personality. The opening track 'Nostromo' which is gone straight in for the pounding underground warehouse rave environment, that's perfect to open a set to blow any crowd away. Then is closely followed by the second track of the album, ' Acid Man ' This is one dark acidic roller not for the faint-hearted. Mainly driven at full speed by a 303 bass line. Track three 'Your Mind' Haunting catchy vocals and a powerful kick and bassline that gives the track a repetitive almighty depth. Onto track four 'Warp' this comes with a more minimal atmospheric approach with dark-themed chords and heavy strings.

    Meanwhile, mid creation of the Album 'This Acid' contains acidic rolling stabs and a pounding kick drum, a rave impelled techno titian. The sixth track 'Be Free' A little off the darker side of techno than the rest, this track portrays a connection between house and techno sitting somewhere in-between the genres. A simple lead line that won't be forgotten by any raver. Track Seven 'Feel Real' Similar to track six this again sits in-between the genres of house and techno. The energy is rushing throughout this track and lifts a whole rave when played, continuous piano stabs that will give you goosebumps. Defiantly one to wear out a crowd.

    Number Eight 'Talking to Myself' Old school rave chords bounce throughout the track with a strong underlining string. Second to last 'Travel' this will take you on a minimalistic musical journey sounding similar to Richie Hawtins productions Paul has hit the nail on the head here with travel, this will 100%% be a track to go down in history as far as techno is concerned. Last but not least onto the title track 'White warning'. This is a sweaty dancefloor nuclear weapon giving techno awakening its self one heavy finale for amazing energy-driven album.

    John Paul White was formerly one-half of Grammy Award winning duo The Civil Wars. His first solo album in nearly a decade, 'Beulah' is a remarkably & assuredly diverse collection spanning plaintive folk balladry, swampy southern rock, lonesome campfire songs, & dark acoustic pop. Gothic & ambitious, with a rustic, lived-in sound, it’s a meditation on love curdling into its opposite, on recrimination defining relationships, on hope finally filtering through doubt.

    White threw himself into the project, no longer the reluctant songwriter but a craftsman determined to make the best album possible. He cut several songs at the renowned FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals. One product of those sessions is “What’s So,” which introduces itself by way of a fire-&-brimstone riff, as heavy as a guilty conscience with gritty & soulful vocals. At the other end of the spectrum is “The Martyr,” the spryness of the melody imagines Elliott Smith wandering the banks of the Tennessee River, yet the song is shot through with a pervasive melancholy as White wrestles with his own demons

    Some of the quieter songs were created in the Single Lock offices/studio, including the ominously erotic opener “Black Leaf” & the Southern gothic love song “Make You Cry.” As he worked, a distinctive & intriguing aesthetic began to grow clearer & clearer, one based in austere arrangements & plaintive moods. These are songs with empty spaces in them, dark corners that could hold ghosts or worse.
