Sideways has been a careful grower of its own stable of talent over its two short years, with a core of producers crafting everything from deep house to minimal techno, and for their second release of the new year they welcome back Episodes for his first solo EP on the label. Having previously joined forces with Keydin and The Spescialist in the past, First Light sees the artist branch out on his own, and with solid results.
Kent’s Sideways has had a productive year, with quintet of releases that have spanned the spectrum from the grooves of Keydin’s Right Side Of Wrong EP to the tech house of Robot Child’s Link and the ethereal Worth It? EP from newcomer Thom Norton. Celebrating double figures and closing out 2010 is a trio of remixes of their very first release from early 2009, Robot Child’s Oculus/Tangent, employing talents from both existing and new Sideways artists.
Sideways Recordings follow up their eighth release – the impressive Robot Child’s Dusty Hi – with a new artist on the roster in the shape of Irish artist Citizen Black and a two-track EP that continues their upward curve towards the end of 2010. The Kent label has been following its own strict diet of lean and mean tech house over the last two years, with solid work from Keydin, Episodes, and Tim Green in his Robot Child guise, and this further adds to this trend.
