Simple Records returns in the form of the ‘Low Point On High Ground EP’ - a collaboration between Brooklyn-based producer Adultnapper and fellow New Yorker Big Bully. Adultnapper, real name Francis Harris, is a philosophy phD drop-out with punk rock roots. Hailing from suburban Las Vegas, he has called Brooklyn home for the past 9 years - a stretch in which he has gone from “hating dance music”, to establishing himself as an underground DJ/Producer with a unique sound and a global audience. “Low Point On High Ground” marks his return to Simple after his 2009 label debut “While He Sleeps”. Mineral Musica label head Big Bully lends his sultry vocals to Adultnapper’s electronic landscape.A DJ, musician, vocalist and producer, Bully’s unique blend of streetwise flavor and edgy techno sophistication comes as a sharp contrast his sweet, sexy vocals and soulful productions. Having previously collaborated with artists such as Jay Haze & Samim on labels that have included Get Physical and Circus Company, his vocal efforts on “Low Point On High Ground” mark his debut for Simple. On the B-Side comes a remix from DJ Sprinkles, aka Terre Thaemlitz. An award winning multi-media producer, writer, public speaker, educator, audio remixer, and DJ,Thaemlitz is also owner of the Comatonse Recordings record label. Currently based in Japan, to date he has released over 15 solo albums, as well as numerous 12-inch singles and video works.

Mathias Kaden: “great music;-)))”

Resident Advisor: “Some dance tracks are also songs, and vice versa. "Low Point," the A-side of the second 12-inch in as many months by Adultnapper (NYC-based Francis Harris) and vocalist Big Bully (L.A.-gone-Brooklyn Minera Music head Dawson Baca), is one of them, and which is which depends on where your focus happens to be as the track plays. Pay attention to Big Bully's connecting the dots between a semi-Goth moan and deep house croon (particularly when he goes into falsetto for the chorus: "I can feel, I can feel, I can feel") and this is a song. But he's mush-mouthed enough for the listener to let the words work as pure sound, and the moody downpour he sings about is still an audible feature of the track—implied more than stated outright. The remix by DJ Sprinkles gives the track an even eerier sensibility, not by amping the vocal emotion but by making the track as sparse as the original with far more detail. There's a lot going on in the seemingly placid mix: oddly timed handclaps all over the sound field, a few low-key notes of plucked guitar echoing a glowing bass riff, a lot of instruments jumping from one speaker to another. Setting it all in motion is an off-kilter piano cluster reminiscent of Thelonious Monk at his furthest out. It says something that for an element that recurs like clockwork, it manages to surprise nearly every time.”
