Catalog #:	CLINK 018EP

"Tim Xavier and Camea have composed a passionate collection of tracks in their anticipated collaboration on Clink, titled Velvet On Canvas. This astonishing EP achieves a fine balance between peak time grooves and underground euphoria, delicately detailed for surfing minds and moving bodies. The A side kicks off with a festive tech house version of 'You Control Myself,' a track inspired from a 'dear diary' recording session by Camea in the studio. The vocal, manipulated with psychedelic delay automation, is layered under Xavier's seasoned percussion techniques and romantic atmospherics, achieving an outer space vibe in which the lines become blurred between reality and fantasy. Not to take any detours from their trackie, techno sound, the duo keeps the production driving and mixable, bringing the composition to a suspenseful peak with leveled percussion and building effects, alluding to a groovy outro. The flip side features two more tech house tunes, taking the EP further into orbit. Again exploring the concept of a vocal tour guide in their music, Tim and Camea manipulate a disco lyric over another driving, percussive house tune in their next piece, titled 'Beaded Sweat.' Again challenging the lines between genres, this track captures the peak-time shuffle but maintains the essence of a desirable 10am moment with delicate synth stabs and blissful ambience. B2, the final cut for the vinyl, is an undeniably sexy minimal house tune titled 'Three Days In Bed,' named in tribute to the historical seven day 'bed-in' by Yoko Ono and John Lennon to promote world peace. A meditation on love, this track has a far out, trippy vibe that can take you into another dimension, almost in contradiction to its unifying title."

The duo takes things down for "Diamonds" hitting the groovy a.m. spot.
