UC Beatz - Orchid's Wish (180gr) [Heist]

Heist welcomes Belgian house don UC Beatz to the label with a 5-track EP featuring Marina Trench and Tour-Maubourg.

UC Beatz is a man who likes to do things his own way. You can hear it in his distinctive sound, but it also goes back to when he first started producing and putting out records. If he’d asked us for advice back then, we would have definitely tried to dissuade him from starting a record label without a proper distribution deal. The hours of work to get records cut, printed and stamped is one thing, but going from shop to shop to sell your work, just because you believe in it? That’s just madness.

Luckily, Belgian producer, DJ and yes, record label owner, UC Beatz, didn’t ask for our opinion when he started Entrepot Records back in 2014, and we’re thankful for it. It has been a total success for him and an inspiration for independent artists around the globe. His releases quickly gained momentum, sold out within weeks and with that, helped him establish his name as a classy deep house producer with his own sound.

Fast forward to 2023, and we find UC Beatz on labels like Classic Music Company, Razor 'n Tape and now we have his Heist debut for you. There’s no need for him to go from shop to shop this time, because we’re sure people will jump on this record as soon as it hits the shelves.

UC Beatz delivers a stunning 5-track EP with guest appearances by Marina Trench and Tour-Maubourg. The EP sees the artist move from euphoric sampled house (Orchid’s Wish) to his classic pad-driven sound on tracks like Purple Corner Fig and Blu Thang. The EP would be good without the collaborations, but UC Beatz found a perfect style match with fellow Heist artist Marina Trench on ‘Make me feel’. His co-production with Tour-Maubourg sees the duo dive into a classic Chicago deep house vibe and deliver the most ethereal track of the EP.
