Artist:	TORRANCE & PHILIP HOCHSTRATE, CRAIG
Title:	Shrinkage
Label:	FOUR:TWENTY (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	FOUR 033EP

"Craig Torrance & Philip Hochstrate are Four:Twenty's freshest new signing. Their first co-production spawns a deep tech house record that doesn't come any more emotive or sultry. 'Shrinkage' was inspired by lost afternoons raving as the sunset to inspirational DJs at DC10. 'Shrinkage' is precision-cut to suit the deep, emotive sun-kissed vibes of an evening on an Ibizan terrace as the melodies build into a lush, epic crescendo. 'Shrinkage' has been given a rework by Samim, one of the underground's hottest remixers right now, who takes the track off-road with a tense, quirky retake on the original. The haunting riffs of the original holster a rocking funk-fuelled groove that peaks with a mind-blowing breakdown before drowning the dancefloor in a bath of sub-bass."

Title:	The Thoroughfare
Label:	MURMUR (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MUR 004EP

"Craig Torrance & Philip Hochstrate are matched with a remix from man of the moment Sis. 'The Thoroughfare' is a nod to the new deep sound, pushing house music to a new level with melody, groove and drama. The remix comes from Sis whose music is stirring the dance music pot globally through releases on Ricardo Villalobos' label Sei Es Drum and the much hyped Standing EP on Cecille Records. His rework is epic, gaining a new atmosphere and layering intricate patterns of sound proving with each release how his musical ability seems to strengthen. Craig Torrance, a flame-haired Scot originally from Glasgow but now based in London, first caught the techno bug by regularly attending all-night raves back in the early '90s. With a life immersed in underground music, a job in the dance music industry and a real party ethic, he is gradually developing into one of the underground London scene's freshest talents. Philip Hochstrate is Craig's production partner and flatmate. Hailing from Berlin, he graduated from both Berlin then London's Academies of Music with distinction. A trained Jazz musician and composer, Philip has also been a successful songwriter for pop acts across the globe. This production follows collaborations of the duo on Moodmusic and Four:Twenty but this release is quite special. Destined to soar into new audiences and have bare feet tapping on sandy shores and darkened dancefloors for the months to come."
