Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, but listening to certain sounds does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously.
The seed was planted January 2012 and blossomed from a passion for sounds and a desire to create and share. Growing and developing, taking different shapes and forms, from the audible and visual to the evocative and beyond Stem Records will leave an imprint in your thoughts and memories, whether it is for a life time or one fleeting moment….

KURT BAGGALEY - LINE OF SIGHT EP (incl Legowelt/ Steffen Kirchoff Remixes)
Manchester’s Stem Records returns this June with Kurt Baggaley’s ‘Line Of Sight’ EP, backed
with remixes from Legowelt and Steffen Kirchhoff.
The EP kicks off with the original version of ‘Line Of Sight’, seeing Baggaley delve deep into analogue
explorations with punchy drums, spaced out synthesizers and a stripped back aesthetic. Trippy vocal lines
meander around the solid groove while a heady arp line and chord progression drives the melodic
movement along keeping things deep and emotive. Legowelt steps in to rework ‘Line Of Sight’ next,
stamping his unique mark on the original, opting for acidic bass tones, loosely programmed, raw drums and
dubbed out delays instilled in the depths of the background, resulting in a profound depth to the
interpretation. As expected from the proficient producer the end product is no nonsense penetrative Techno.
Entering the B-Side of the EP, Baggley offers up ‘Touching Your Mind’, tipping the focus towards a more
sparse. minimal state with basic drums building the foundations, while smooth, ethereal pads and resonant
synth sweeps add a cosseting atmosphere. Closing the release, Stefan Kirchhoff turns in his ‘Perspective’
on ‘Touching Your Mind’, Kirchhoff throws in some off-kilter percussive elements, hooky melodies and
growling low-end tones to create an intelligent, understated remix full of delicate intricacies.
digital release: 08-07-2013
12" release: 08-07-2013
