PREMIERE : Mason Bee - Lumito (Charles Webster Deep Dub) by Les Yeux Orange published on 2021-04-15T00:02:25Z Mason Bee - Lumito (inc. Charles Webster remixes) BUY LINK: https://masonbee.bandcamp.com/album/lumito-charles-webster-remixes Release date: 16 April 2021 Label: Pollen Kit Recordings Format: digital + vinyl album reissue https://soundcloud.com/the-beedrones https://soundcloud.com/charleswebster Long-term Plaid collaborator Mason Bee steps out with more stunning solo work for his own Pollen Kit Recordings, with the always on-form Charles Webster contributing three remixes. A fantastic video from groundbreaking video artist Bob Jaroc also arrives with the new single, and all this leading to the re-issue of his debut album on vinyl. Mason Bee (aka Benet Walsh) is the multi-instrumentalist who, for many years, has been a co-writer and touring partner with Warp's seminal UK electronic act Plaid. Last year he showed off his natural flare for melody and beautiful arrangements on his acclaimed debut album. It drew on folk, electronic and psychedelic sounds to serve up ever-morphing landscapes made from field recordings, acoustic instruments and DIY studio techniques. He now kicks off his 2021 with another innovative and enigmatic new single. The gorgeous 'Lumito' has a groove constructed from clicks, zips and hits, while there is true beauty in the lead melody that drifts up top. Perfectly combining the synthetic with the acoustic, this naturalistic track has a lush sound with breezy vocal coos and live jazz drums that swell all around you as you gaze on in wonder. The accompanying music video is a perfect visual reflection of the record from creator Bob Jaroc (Plaid, Fatboy Slim, Paranoid London) which seamlessly mixes vintage textures, artificial intelligence, lasers and classic oil and dye techniques, weaving Mason Bee's track into a psychedelic magic carpet ride "through the conception and birth of the Lumito moon". Revered UK veteran Charles Webster has been a core part of the underground for decades. Known for everything from house to downtempo and everything in between, he is associated with cult labels like Peacefrog and Defected. Last year, his ‘Decision Time’ album provided another sumptuous serving of his signature sounds with plenty of contemporary flourishes. His first remix here is a gorgeously airy and delicate fusion of folk, indie and electronic into a track that encourages daydreaming. The delicious Deep Dub is just that - something primed for getting lost in while it plays loud on a basement sound system, and the Reprise is pure ambient beauty with soul-enriching flutes, keys and smeared vocal sounds that help you ascend into the sky. With this new single, Mason Bee once again steps out with a truly original sound, providing a timely reminder of why he is so essential, ahead of his debut album’s vinyl reissue on 7th May.
