She’s been the voice/front-woman on hits from a wide range of producers, Tiësto, the Freemasons, Sean Tyas and the Freestylers to name but a few. Through tracks like ‘My Enemy’, ‘No Frontiers’ and ‘Let Go’ she’s also notably become the vocal-muse/go-to-girl for Finnish high-fliers Super8 & Tab. Bringing her gifted lyricism and soul-sear vocals to the broadest possible spectrum of electronic dance music, <span class="il">Julie</span>’s catalogue has come to encompass house, trance, progressive, dubstep, breakbeat, electro and many nexuses in between. </span></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Now, five years after she first made the jump with the ‘Feeling For Corners’ album, <span class="il">Julie</span> is once again crossing the threshold to assume the solo artist role. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Over 11 sensational tracks, written and recorded over the last 20 months, the British singer has crafted the follow-up that fans from across the electronic music lands have long sought. ‘Eye Of The Storm’ has all the expressive introspection, from-the-soul vocals, story-tell lyrics and absorbing metaphor of a singer without contemporary, all approached with her no-stylistic-borders methodology. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <strong><div style="text-align: justify;"> <strong><a href="http://t.ymlp276.net/umqqqaaauqmjeatayyataeubyjj/click.php" target="_blank">Pre-order your copy of <span class="il">Julie</span> <span class="il">Thompson</span> - Eye Of The Storm here</a> </strong></div> </strong><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> More through nature than design, <span class="il">Julie</span>’s debut album is one that’ll spark the broadest range of emotions… Uplifting, touching and meditative, it is also by turns creative, organic and at times bold, to the point of audacious. On completing the album, she said: A friend once said to me 'when you hit rock bottom there's only sand beneath your feet" and it was from this place that I began to write the songs that would eventually become Eye of the Storm. This album represents transition. How light is born from darkness, how love is born from loss and how stillness comes from the most chaotic of places. I hope you enjoy this album! </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The vocally sanguine overture of ‘New Day’, the floor-engagement of Super8 & Tab collab ‘Your Secret’s Safe’ and ‘We Are Stars’ unchecked uplift collectively summon the ‘Eye’s storm at pace. Expanding its style, ‘Fortune Smiles’ conveys atmospherically bleached out synths and speedily paced, running riffs, which are smartly played off against <span class="il">Julie</span>’s lyrical infiltration. ‘My Paradise’ meanwhile brings EDM dimensions to the album, while ‘Loved’ front-ends with bleepy echo-ism, pays off with a rippingly riffed leadline and is bound together by her vocal optimism. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> With stylistic contrast, the album transcends again with the bliss-fest of ‘Dive’ and the slo-mo breaks and chanteuse-ian lament of ‘Freeze’. At the midpoint, alongside London-based twosome Pyramid, <span class="il">Julie</span> brings downtempo dubstep, breakbeat & electro aspects to the album, delivering both its titular and tangible eye of the storm. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Grafting ever more layers, deeper, more trance-progressive textures come virtue of ‘Natural’ with Ad Brown, while the bittersweet Andy Duguid-produced ‘Skin & Bones’ induces a cooler edged anthemia. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> As polished as it is accomplished, admirably far-reaching and allowing her incredible songwriting abilities and extraordinary vocal range full reign, ‘Eye Of The Storm’ delivers on the first great electronic music artist album of 2015. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span class="il">Julie</span> <span class="il">Thompson</span> ‘Eye Of The Storm’ Tracklist</b></div> </b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 01.

The title came about during a conversation one day with my partner Lauran. I was hitting a wall with the making of the album. Everyone gets the block at one time or more. I was explaining how I felt at the time. It was as if I was taking in to much at once and I just couldn't focus on the music. I told her I felt like I was on the edge. And there it was.

I think over the years of travelling and playing live have contributed to a more clubbier sound whilst keeping my signature sound. It's not something I intentionally do. I just let the inspiration flow. But people always say they can recognise my sounds instantly.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <br /></div> <div style="background-color: white;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">6.

It took far to long. But, looking back, it took so long because that's what needed to happen. I didn't want to rush anything and put out crap music. It's important for me to always give my best. I want to be able to put on my own album in the car and not want to skip past tracks. Like mentioned previously, each track has it's own inspiration. Take my latest single "7even". This was inspired by the life of a little girl called Olivia Downie who passed away at the young age of 7. The simplistic piano keys along with Jaren's child like lyrics was almost as if a young kid was sat down plonking on keys singing about random thoughts. This is just one of many stories from the album. </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <br /></div> <div style="background-color: white;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">7.

I just visualize the outcome and approach them.

But it was more of a rock song. Steven was patient through the process as I was never happy with it. It was the first track started and the last track finished. The last minute decision to change the entire idea worked well. Luckliy Steven loved it to! So, to answer, it was that long ago, I can't remember! haha</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <br /></div> <div style="background-color: white;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">9.

In the Moment with Andy Duguid

 0 comment / Posted by ThinkInElectronic

Andy Duguid was first heard by the world in 2007 when Black Hole Recordings picked up his single "Hypocrisy". A label Andy still calls home to this day. A string of big releases followed in the forms...

ANDY DUGUID - ON THE EDGE

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">The archetypal producer risk-taker, Andy Duguid is a man on the cutting edge. His independent in-studio approach has placed him in a coveted position – his music sought and respected by the DJ underground and establishment alike. With his debut album, 2008’s ‘Believe’, the Scotsman hardwired his reputation as a skilled sound-shaper - a name that came quick to the lips of those in the know. Now, five years on and after an uncountable number of late-night studio hours, the follow up to ‘Believe’ is here. Andy is about to push those limits once again.<u></u><u></u></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtqt-jw9U-qStnVKVpJMTmkHaXqHWKD5IleYg1oISd2ea5dZrxHN_KlhjxOWEpLjmWfdm__TpzzzntPTYgYowlgm6FEQPqK2vcfqDpWO64si87pc28_k80hpUd4W0yXSOKlGeI9ILb5cw/s1600/36D5B2CD-625B-4099-96F8-DD1F0C3B6765.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtqt-jw9U-qStnVKVpJMTmkHaXqHWKD5IleYg1oISd2ea5dZrxHN_KlhjxOWEpLjmWfdm__TpzzzntPTYgYowlgm6FEQPqK2vcfqDpWO64si87pc28_k80hpUd4W0yXSOKlGeI9ILb5cw/s400/36D5B2CD-625B-4099-96F8-DD1F0C3B6765.png" width="400" /></span></a></div> <div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br /><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>(CD & Digital Download forthcoming through Black Hole Recordings, 16^th September 2013<br />– pre-order here: </b><span lang="EN-US"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/on-edge-bonus-track-version/id690482541" target="_blank">https://itunes.apple.<wbr></wbr>com/us/album/on-edge-bonus-<wbr></wbr>track-version/id690482541</a></span><b>)</b><b> </b></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">With spinners bible <span lang="EN-US">DJ Mag last month dubbing him</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US">"<i>the martinet of 'doin'-it-different</i>", ‘On The Edge’ sees Andy passage </span>house hinterlands, progressive atmospheres, harmonic trance highs and all points between.

Weaving unconventionally FX’d vocal harmonics into its lustre-filled strings; it’s backed by intricately programmed drum & percussion pulsation. Further in, ‘Paradise’ (aka ‘Richard’s Theme’) swirls the atmosphere, progresses the prog and side orders shots of electronica. Duguid houses up the drums on ‘Percussion Man’, hotwires the bass and employs deliriously kaleidoscopic FX. With its infectious once-heard/ never forgotten xylophonic riff, its reaches deep into the EDM wormhole.</span></div> <div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">……….<u></u><u></u></span></div> <div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>“</b><b><i><span lang="EN-US">My thought process before heading to the studio on day one of makingthis album was simple. Don't rush it.

Toughening the trance stance, ‘I Want To Believe’ lets the drums rain heavy and Shannon Hurley’s vocals burn down though the speaker cables. Setting loose its feverish whoops, it bridges its climactic moments with big room destructing sirens. </span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Andy’s musical mind continues to race, bringing sounds and ideas from the left field. Lizzie Curious (whose songs have previously graced the tracks of StoneBridge and Robbie Rivera) lends it further idiosyncrasy. Her voice backed by the avant-garde chiming melodies of ‘Music Box’ presage the hard-groove kicks of Duguid’s production and its club-busting tubular lead line.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">‘On The Edge’ broadens its range further, interconnecting moodier tones with more poignant themes. Julie Thompson’s vocal cuts deep on ‘Skin & Bones’; Jaren’s cryptic lyrics & song form the woozy, dream-state bedrock of the enigmatic ‘7even’, while Seri bears heart & soul on ‘Hurt’. Current single ‘In This Moment’ puts the voice of Audrey ‘Big Skies’ Gallagher centrestage and, amplified by Andy feel-good house licks, brings outdoor festival style vibes to the album.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">‘On The Edge’ is the consummate ‘Believe’ follow-up from a producer that MIXMAG says is “<i>ever ready to take a risk or three</i>”.
