We are delighted to reveal the DEBUT release in our brand new \u2018Producers Spotlight<\/em>\u2019 series, launched to celebrate the music makers who have contributed so much to the\u00a0High Focus<\/em>\u00a0canon over the years. From the boom bap stalwarts, to the left-field trailblazers; the \u2018HF_PS<\/em>\u2019 series shines a light on both original and classic works across instrumental LPs, beat breakdown videos and, for the first time, a series of curated sample \/ drum packs offering up access to the classic sounds that have shaped the\u00a0HF<\/em>\u00a0sound over the years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PS_01<\/em>\u00a0features the artist formerly known as\u00a0Chemo \/ Telemachus<\/em>, now\u00a0Forest DLG<\/em>; a pivotal figure in the scene since the early noughties and an absolute monster behind the boards. Combining supreme technical nous with an enviable cultural palette,\u00a0Forest DLG<\/em>\u00a0has traveled the globe, sourcing inspiration (and instruments) to add to his signature dystopian gloom.<\/p>\n

Forest DLG<\/em>\u00a0may well have collaborated with every single member of the\u00a0HF<\/em>\u00a0roster in one way or another over the years. Highlights include; 3 x full length albums with\u00a0Jam Baxter<\/em>; \u2018So We Ate Them Whole<\/em>\u2019, \u2018Mansion 38<\/em>\u2019 and \u2018Touching Scenes<\/em>\u2019, the seminal \u2018Voices from Planet Cattele<\/em>\u2019 with\u00a0Onoe Caponoe<\/em>, as well as mixing and mastering the vast majority of the\u00a0HF<\/em>\u00a0catalogue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Taking influence from the likes of\u00a0Curtis Mayfield<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0DJ Shadow<\/em>, \u2018I Been Surfing On A Marshmallow<\/em>\u2019 offers up a unique blend of soul, funk, and hip hop (with a touch of psychedelia sprinkled throughout).

Inspired by\u00a0Forest DLG<\/em>\u2019s surfing adventures in a remote part of Indonesia, the music captures the feeling of dozing off in the back of a slow-moving pickup truck, taking in the sights and sounds of the countryside.<\/p>\n
