Joe Roche - White Umbrella | Do As You Please | DAYP:001

In a time of fast fashion and disposable culture, the label seeks to create art with character and longevity. The ethos is based around unlimited stylistic boundaries and strives to deliver quality first and foremost. The artwork has been curated by two invaluable members of the Mancunian graphic design community, Trevor Johnson & John Walsh. Both designers were a staple part of the Hacienda and FAC51 artwork team and have continued to share their talent and experience in the Manchester community since.

All four tracks are different takes on Acid House. Differing in style but maintaining a pace and energy throughout. White Umbrella sets the tone with a big room warehouse, classic breaks feel - climactic drops and 90’s nostalgia at the heart. Dogmatic follows, with a down and dirty basement onslaught with devastating claps and lead line; to ensure any one-eyed pill pirates pull their socks up and stand attention. Rock ‘n’ Roll drives headfirst through anything it comes across. A track that has serious warehouse appeal and a thundering acid bravado. Double Lively has a softer touch with more intrigue and air to breathe. A bit Deep House, a bit Acid House. Day time blue skies or late-night euphoria.
