Ed Congreave is best known for being part of Oxford Indie band Foals. In between working on their upcoming 3rd album he's been honing his own production skills, taking his knowledge of electronic music and some clear Deep House inflences to create his first solo release, 'Heal'.
Though it may only be his first solo foray in electronic music, Ed's experience as a musician is clear in 'Heal'; production values are high, the sound is crisp and the pitched vocal lead melody works in tandem with plenty of warm bass to give the track a fine groove factor...akin to classic Chicago House artists of old.
Overall this is a very accomplished release, with 'Heal' already becoming one of favourite House tracks in recent times (no surprise though, we are huge Foals fans).
'Heal' is set for release on vinyl via released via the new DEEP SHIT label, co owned by Ed himself and Jack Savidge of Friendly Fires. Check the track as well as the A1 Bassline refix below, both of which are available for FREE download here and here. We reckon this is the start of a seriously promising solo production career for Ed, and DEEP SHIT is one to watch for sure.
