There’s no question that Charlie May is a true purveyor of House Music, and he makes a welcome and long-overdue return with his debut single ‘Apache’ from his new label imprint Mayhem.
Never one to travel in a straight musical line, Charlie fully exploits the opportunity to explore the length and breadth of his creative capacity with ‘Apache’. Charlie says…
“I’m feeling my way around, getting back into the solo headspace really, which is cool. There’s so much cool techno stuff about at the moment which is really inspiring me.”
Alongside the dance-floor orientated cuts on which he has built his reputation, Charlie straddles moods of ambient, techno and electronica whilst constantly maintaining a melodic and highly emotive core. The sound is familiar yet fresh.
‘Apache’ has a driving deep, dark bassline with endless textures and rhythms and trademark Charlie sounds. The scratchy chords give it that Detroit’esque sound, whilst muffled robotic-tinged orchestral flutters underpin a lush arpeggio of warm synths. ‘Apache’ is the perfect first single from the man who knows all the right moves in creating his own brand of musicality.
2009 is going to be a big year for Charlie May… stepping out of the Sasha shadow, Charlie has a few new singles up his sleeve for labels such as La Tour, and is currently working on remixes for Glenn Morrison alongside Robert Babicz for Bedrock. Charlie also recently released a new mix compilation for Platipus under his Spooky moniker.
“I’m focusing on singles for a bit but I’d also like to do an album - its something I really want to do. That would be a big achievement. It’s all guns blazing really – watch this space.” And you really should…
The artwork has been designed by UK artist Jamie Crowley who, for the Mayhem artwork series, has created some truly chaotic designs... Jamie, a self-trained artist who finds beauty in decaying buildings, billboards and graffiti will have the Mayhem artwork available to buy on canvas or as prints. There will be limited edition signed prints of the artwork available too.
