About

JVXTA (aka Charles Field) is a DJ and producer based in London (UK). He also co-founded the label Hardmatter. Here, Scissor And Thread, the Brooklyn imprint headed by Francis Harris and Anthony Collins share JVXTA’s debut album - Euston Blues. The album is a collection of moods and textures, from woozy soundscapes like opener "No One Needs to Know" and "Voyager", to grooving, dusty house tracks like "Hold On", "Water Temple" and "Lost in Place". Tracks develop from ambient textures into leftfield beat excursions (Beyond) and incorporate thoughtful samples such as the spoken word poetry in "The Stolen Child".
Elements of free improvisation and experimentation pepper the album, while a strong thread of atmospheric cohesion winds its way through the eight tracks - making Euston Blues a truly rewarding and rich listening experience.

"Euston Blues synthesises deep chords, classic house rhythms and jazz laden influences to chronicle an intimate journey of physical and psychological isolation." he says. "Scope is relative and this transposition is explored from the seclusion of a single room to the expanses of the Beyond".

(The LP is a four-track vinyl EP while the full digital album covers all eight tracks.)
