DJ Pitch is a producer from England. 'Short Glow' is an album of his music, out on OST.
It's a statement of intent from one of London underground music's most pivotal yet under-sung figures: an artist, promoter and label don content, typically, to facilitate and propel rather than step to the foreground. A musician whose sure-handed touch has seen him wield piston-powered club weapons, wistful singer-songwriting, and downtempo swayers with equal dexterity.
'Short Glow' smelts all the above to a sleekly flowing yet heartfelt alloy — the basis for purpose-built production vehicles carrying a variegated cast of collaborators. And while opener 'Side of Your Face' and soft-focus heartbreaker 'Mystic Sauce' see him ride solo, it could never be a true Pitch joint without putting on for the team.
But it's Pazeamor-featuring closer 'Chios' that most encapsulates what this album is about. It's a door flung wide, arms held aloft, soaring, rain-drenched, alive. Because for all its coursing melancholy, 'Short Glow' shrugs off yearning and rejects lamentation for something altogether braver: this album, like its architect, lives in hope.
