Sleep Mode by Mike McGuill Mike McGuill : Sleep Mode.
 Diverse, intelligent electronica from london.

Mike McGuill's latest Magnatune release, Sleep Mode, is his most commercial to date, and probably his most eclectic.

The music of Sleep Mode is firmly grounded in Mike's trademark electronic innovation, yet also pays homage to some of the classic sounds of popular music's past - from vintage funk and jazz to soul and synth pop.

As with Mike's previous releases, live instruments intertwine artfully with electronic sounds here - be it growling double bass and primal, pulsing drum machines on opener 'Think Tank', or drifting, jazz-room brass and enigmatic tape delays on title track 'Sleep Mode'.

Sleep Mode's arrangements, sound design and mix were all deliberately geared towards creating a record that's at once familiar, evocative, nostalgic - an ode to some of the classic grooves of the past - while remaining unmistakably innovative, forward-thinking, future-facing.

By turns catchy and caustic, chilled and challenging, Sleep Mode invites you to switch off and dream.
