It's always a pleasure to welcome Scottish producer Milton Jackson back on Freerange, and this time he joins forces with a trio of Detroit heavyweights to deliver the 'Fire Emoji' EP. Brian Kage is a producer / DJ, founder of record label Michigander and has released on esteemed labels such as FXHE and Planet E. Here, Brian is on co-production and mastering duties and helps bring a raw yet musical quality to all four tracks. HazMat Live is a Detroit native known for his unique approach to music and live performances, having graced records and live shows with the likes of Kenny Dixon Jr, Amp Fiddler, Bilal, Soul Clap, and Delano Smith. Finally, Jon Dixon adds his own inimitable touch to the release with his deft keyboard work. Jon Dixon not only leads the Underground Resistance live acts Galaxy 2 Galaxy and Timeline but has also performed with everyone from Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, and Mike Banks through to Goldie, Leon Ware, and Dwele. Lead track 'Fire Emoji' is probably best described as a serious stomper. A pared back club tool which pumps hard and will keep the energy levels simmering on any dance floor worth it's salt. Echoing vocals and reverb-drenched hits add a trippy edge whilst an extended break adds extra drama and tension to the arrangement. 'The Sunsetters' lightens the mood with a euphoric slice of chunky, deep house, which acts as the foundation for HazMat Live to deliver his epic synth solo, accompanied by lush strings, deep pads and punctuating 909 snares. 'Wanna C U' fuses US and UK Garage sounds to form a taught, muscular club groove which will lock you in with it's fat stabs, swinging beats, and repeating sampled vocal hook. Closing out the EP we have 'The Shine', featuring Jon Dixon on keys, who brings things to a climactic finish with his masterful jazz piano flourishes, UR-esque pads and synth lead solo.
