At Detached, we've always tried to push new and fresh talent forward and for the third part of our 5 year celebrations, this ethos remains unchanged. We welcome back Echo Motion, Flicka, Karma Kingdom and Toss-T to the label while giving a warm welcome to Rozfresh and R4NS0M. This 6 track EP shows off the breadth and depth of the label over the years while also looking firmly towards the future.

Up first is man of the hour, Echo Motion. This talented artist has been on fire in the last few months, with stunning liquid on labels such as Celsius Recordings, Glitch Audio and Riddim Records. We are proud to be the home for one more arrow in his bow, in the form of 'Buried Treasure'. A classic liquid roller as he does best, with a warm bassline carrying a haunting vocal, this is sure to be on repeat through the following cold nights.

Next up is Flicka, who we welcomed to the label last year in the form of his free download, 'Muted'. 'Gator Skin' follows on from where Flicka left off. An eerie, Western-influenced guitar hook takes the lead while a sensual saxophone and smooth piano chords foreshadow a gritty roller with the perfect balance of weight and soul.

Rozfresh makes his debut to Detached with 'What', a tech-influenced stepper filled with his signature sound that's made us keep an eye on him. Watch out for the breakdown which provides a moment of unexpected calm before we're led back in this steam train of a track!

We proudly welcome back Italy-based Karma Kingdom for his first solo outing on the label. 'Cry Me A River' is a dramatic, jungle-influenced piece which carries the unusual sound palette that we've come to love from this artist throughout his career. This piece harkens back to the label's past whilst staying fresh and novel.

Our penultimate track is from Toss-T, who we welcomed to the label earlier this year with his beautiful free download, 'Melancholy'. 'Chronessence' showcases a new, darker side to Toss-T's sound, where he employs South Asian Carnatic instrumentation for a deep roller. The unconventional melodies make this a treat for those who enjoy fusions of incredibly different styles.

Finally, we welcome R4NS0M to the label for the closing, sombre notes of this various artist release. 'Scene: Anamnesis' envelopes us in from the first sound, with fiery crackles and airy atmospherics paving the way to a dark, old-school roller with a modern aesthetic and rugged basslines.

With our final release of the year, we'd like to wish everyone who's stayed with us for the last 5 years a very happy holiday season, and we hope you've enjoyed all we've had to offer! We've had a wealth of different styles on the label in the last 12 months, and this EP only adds more to the diversity which we are proud of upkeeping.
