The Draughtsman arrives with EP featuring remixes from Roman Flügel, Cosmo Vitelli and more

Words: Tony Poland

London based producer Alex Egan has unveiled an ambitious
release featuring a raft of new material alongside remixes from Roman
Flügel, Tim Paris, Cosmo Vitelli and Daniel Avery.

Egan – who once upon a time was selected
for our now dormant Ones To Watch series – has maintained a relatively
low profile since scoring some worthy remixes of The xx, Glasser,
Metronomy and more under his Astronomer alias. He did however debut his
new moniker – The Draughtsman – earlier this summer with the two track Geschmacklos digital release on Marketing Music. Tim Paris’s label will now release the 1694
EP which makes for a more complete statement on The Draughtsman sound
from Egan, containing both tracks from the aforementioned Geschmacklos EP
(the title track and a Cosmo Vitelli remix) as well as five further
original tracks characterised by gently rippling arpeggios and
soundtracky synths.

Roman Flugel and Tim Paris himself provide further remixes for the
Marketing Music digital release, whilst the original tracks from Egan
have also been licensed to impressive London label How The Other Half
Lives for a double 12″ release that features an exclusive vinyl only
remix from man of the moment Daniel Avery. You can stream clips of the
entire release to gain an idea of what to expect; we imagine Flügel’s
stompy version of “Codicil” will garner plenty of attention.

Marketing Music will release the digital version of 1694 EP
by The Draughtsman on November 15, with the due date of the double vinyl
version from How The Other Half Lives yet to be confirmed.
