Detuned Future is deliBass’s attempt at evoking the 70s TV theme mastery of Mike Post. Channelling Larry Carlton is Bury’s own resident viking, Preben Raunbjerg, and providing the sumptuous keyboard arrangment, Toronto’s Jonny Tobin. There are some lovely moments in this tune, which represents something of a departure for the[…]

Chateau Aurora is a remix of an Ollie Perspex track, released under the name of Harbor-Lites x deliBass, hot on the heels of Daydreamers in May 2023. Again it features Solomon Fox, whose melodious synth work it is, sitting over a trademark deliBass rhythm track.

Solomon Fox brings a rich and melodious keys performance to another lush deliBass instrumental. Daydreamers is the follow up to their recent Rays of Revelation Ep collaboration. This deliciously mellow marriage of bass and electric piano plunges deep into 70 Bpm chillhop and downtempo soundscapes. Released May 12th 2023.

This track, released in November 2022, is deliBass’s first track featuring brass. Most specifically, the main melodic instrument in Butterflies is sax, supplied by Hugo Lee. “Jazzy Half Time House” is what Umz calls it, and it is a lovely performance by Hugo, again set against the sweet keys sounds[…]

Released in September 2022, this was the first track born of deliBass’s collaboration with Jasmine Duxbury, a young singer from South London. It is a sweet vocal, and the tune is somewhat reminiscent of an old classic, in the Bacharach mould. Set on a bed of typically sumptuous Danae Greenfield[…]

In 2020, I was delighted to be asked to collaborate with Clive Jenner, drummer with the Proclaimers, on his new project. I co-wrote a number of tracks with Clive but the project evolved over 18 months and involved a number of musicians, many of whom I had never met, such[…]

12 months after the release of Volume 1, this time Jon & Umz teamed up with Danae Greenfield and Preben Raunsbjerg for another 5-mini track mix, characterised by the sweet sound of Danae’s trademark keys. There’s great variety in this collection, which is quite distinct from Volume 1. The release[…]
