This release follows on from the popular ‘Love Satisfaction’ which was a top #20 track on U.S download site Traxsource.

This is Tom’s 7th release so far in 2022 following on from releases on HIVE Label, Ginkgo Music, TOSNC and Adaptation Music with many more on the way under his various aliases which include both Thylacinus and Caliorange, with his first ever vinyl album due for summer release.

DA FUNKSTA (THE OLD SKOOL THE NEW CLASS)

The 18th release on Cosmic Elements sees the return of New York producer and talented musician Dissident with ‘Consequences EP’.

With parallels to early OM Records and Naked Music’s Carte Blanche series, this superb two tracker begins with the lush female vocal track ‘Late Night Anguish’ which features Dissident’s niece Cordelia Tapping on vocals. Dreamy and ethereal summer vibes all round! on the flip so to speak is the brilliant ‘Disemotioned’ which features Dissident himself on vocals and also has sunshine written all over it. Completing the EP is the dreamy, thought provoking and downright beautiful track ‘Release’, one for a summer’s afternoon without a doubt.

Dissident follows on from his ‘Phrases Of Life’ album, previously on Cosmic Elements, with his music also featuring on the iconic Distant Horizons compilation and on parent label Adaptation Music. With a wealth of experience playing for the likes of Quincy Jones and Miles Davis, this a producer who certainly emphasises quality and consistency.

“LOVELY EP!!”
VINNY DA VINCI (METRO FM / HOUSE AFRIKA)

Adaptation Music’s Tom Conrad follows on from his recent release ‘Frankie’s Song’ with ‘Twisted Jazz EP’ which is a totally different affair showing Tom’s versatility, containing two tracks of Deep and Jackin House.

The EP opens up with the jazzy, jackin’, funky and infectious ‘Jazz Fly’, complete with vibrant chords, tough beats an old school U.S jazz style hook and lush rhodes keys perfect for any peak time deep/jackin house set. Also on the EP and taking on a totally different style is ‘Twisted Principles’ which is more deep tech affair, with atmospheric keys/pads and a killer bass line.

Watch out for several more EPs and singles over the coming months from Tom on Adaptation Music and several other labels as he continues to establish himself and his aliases/collaborations with consistency and progression within the realms of deep and jackin underground house music.
