Kent label Sideways welcome back Thom Norton at the start of 2011 to follow up his debut, ‘Worth It’, which dropped in May last year. The producer’s EP gained Esssential Mix airplay that month, and having added his touch to Robot Child’s Oculus, he returns with a pair of new tracks for the label’s eleventh offering. The addition to his previous repertoire comes in the shape of vocals from his older brother Si, on the title track, a wistful lament cut over a deep, tech house soundtrack.

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.

For our 10th release we have decided to go back to the beginning and commission some remixes of our first release – Robot Child’s Oculus / Tangent. Pierre Chevallier provides a cinematic retake of Oculus that continually develops and surprises, Thom Norton takes Oculus into a deeper techy place with some great sample manipulation and Fraser Owen reworks Tangent into a tech house beast with intricate layers of percussion matched with a big bottom end. Umm lovely!

I like Pierres Idea here, a nice track to listen too, not for my sets though.

Another sterling EP from Sideways. Three really strong mixes, all work in different ways. The Fraser Owen mix stands out. Great stuff.
Dj Schwa / Shades of Gray
Peirre Chavallier remix is really nice!

Interesting leftfield electronic house
After the success of our last release by Robot Child we are proud to present Rinse Repeat by Dublin’s Citizen Black, a new artist on the Sideways roster. Keydin is on remix duty and continues the good form heard on his remix of Rhythm Alien by Lunacy Sound Division, recently released on Cubism.

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.
