Wander Being by DaRand Land
Capturing the past
If you've not heard of US artist DaRand Land, then all you need to know is that his new album Wander Being is out now on Scissor and Thread, the extremely tasteful Deep House label run by Francis Harris and Anthony Collins. For fans of Larry Heard or anything released on said label, Wander Being delivers ten tracks of chilled beats with a classic Detroit vibe. Like Ethos, the production is crisp and unctuous. The genesis for the album, says DaRand, was a desire to return to the essence of some of my original Deep4Life productions
, a goal achieved through his strictly hardware set-up. Sounds timeless.
