Busy Mind - Mount Pleasant (inc. One Week (UK) Remix) - ASTIR recordings

Busy Mind makes his long-awaited debut with ‘Mount Pleasant’. One Week (UK) goes deep on the remix.

Hailing from the fertile musical land of Australia, Harrison Read aka Busy Mind is beginning to make waves. Within a few years of exploring the electronic underground he’s has notable releases on Songspire and InU. Indeed, his collaboration with Jiminy Hop has certainly proven to be somewhat of a breakout track! Coming from an indie rock background certainly hasn’t hindered Busy Mind; you can hear his influences, from Gorillaz to Jamie Stevens shine through in everything he makes.

In original form, ‘Mount Pleasant’ is a soaring melodic triumph. Opening with playful bass notes and an cinematic ‘80s feel, Busy Mind introduces each melodic layer with suitable drama and elegance. The spoken word message of hope and bravery topping off a stunning piece of modern house music stepped in dance floor folklore.

On the remix, One Week (UK) takes us on a sonic journey teasing out the emotion of the originals motifs for a more soulful warm up vibe.

Mid 2017 and some friends are discussing the music scene. They are unsatisfied by the way the big labels appear to sell out to a bandwagon sound that would eventually fall out of favour 6/8 months down the line and reminisced about the great labels of yesteryear, for whom quality and integrity played as much a part of the A&R process as originality and production value.

From this discussion came the idea of starting a new record label founded on old-fashioned ideals, a place where original, forward thinking music would be not only celebrated but be the norm. A place where the producer would not be abused and expected to master their own productions at their own cost and see most of the profits from their hard work swallowed up in distribution fees and label costs.

A place where the artists could build a community; a place of shared ideas and off the cuff collaborations. A place where the art of music would not be lost, giving way to mass media marketing and watering down of ideas for mass consumer consumption. A record label you can once again trust to weed out the mediocre and deliver time and again GREAT music.

A label by DJs, for DJs and the music-loving public. A label such as ASTIR recordings
