Following releases on Few & Far Between and Accidental Meetings, Bristol-based producer fka boursin joins the fold at NYC-based imprint Scissor & Thread with a forthcoming 12″ single named ‘Listless Intertext‘, accompanied with an exquisite dub flex from label bosses Frank & Tony.
The original is a 12-minute drift through hazy deep house textures, half-caught conversations, dreamy synths and shuffling percussion. Instead of clear vocals, we get indecipherable fragments that lend the track a woozy, dream-state quality – like trying to decipher a distant conversation while slipping out of consciousness. It’s deep and loose, a slow-burner that feels just as suited to headphones as it does a smoky backroom.
Frank & Tony’s Housebeat Dub flips that energy on its head. The duo keep the mood intact but drive it forward with a fat, rolling groove tailor-made for those blurry hours on the dancefloor. Where boursin pulls you inward, Frank & Tony push it outward – a hypnotic, floor-ready workout that still carries the ghostly essence of the original. Together, they make Listless Intertext a release that blurs the line between introspection and propulsion, subtle listening and functional club heat.
‘Listless Intertext’ is scheduled for release on 22 August via Scissor & Thread. Pre-order a vinyl copy from Inverted Audio Record Store or digital from Bandcamp.
