A fresh and talented name in electronic music, Jody Barr returns to his own imprint

Portable Minds, with new EP ‘Lavender Fields’.

Following a successful 2018, including an acclaimed debut on Last Night On Earth last year, the young producer moves his attention back to his label, curating a two tracker that displays the talent for variation and tight production work synonymouswith his name. Founded in 2016, Portable Minds’ mission is to allow Barr and other artists freedom of expression with their music, free from constraints or compromise; this EP certainly lives up to that intention.

The title track is an uplifting voyage through a softer side of Barr’s sound; harmonious toplines are interspersed with an enigmatic vocal sample, creating a cut full of warmth and feeling. Turning into darker territory for the B side, ‘Footprints of Light’ is a hefty techno number, complemented by more ethereal moments that build the track to its peak – this one is perfect for the dancefloor.

Diverse, genre-spanning, poignant… this EP is everything that music should be, from a definite one to watch.

‘Lavender Fields’ drops on Portable Minds on February 25th. Pre order it here.
