MIA DORA - Jezebel Ep - Glasgow Underground

This April will see rising stars Mia Dora return to Glasgow Underground with the ‘Jezebel’ EP, backed with remixes from another ascending duo in underground house, Walker & Royce, and another from ThermalBear.
Mia Dora, better known to their friends as Al Quinn and Robert Etherson, have taken huge strides in their career of late, dropping material via Kerri Chandler’s MadTech Records, Jaymo & Andy George’s Moda Black and of course Glasgow Underground where they return to here following a string of remixes for the likes of Romanthony, Admin and Walker & Royce. We’ve seen the BBC Radio elite, Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Rob Da Bank, B Traits, Skream & Benga, Gilles Peterson and many more getting behind Mia Dora material, MadTech have now enlisted the duo for a follow up single to ‘You In The Future’ and the ever on-point Optimo Trax will unearth some fresh material from the pair very soon, all of which stands as testament to Mia Dora’s undeniable ability to craft powerful and skilfully produced dance-floor cuts.
Title track ‘Jezebel’ opens things up, a raw percussive-led workout, laid out over seven minutes with an ever- evolving dynamic and enthralling groove, fusing organic rhythms, dubbed out vocal licks and a bumpy tom- driven bass line, the result, Mia Dora’s most DJ friendly work to date.
Up next we have two reworks of ‘Jezebel’ on offer, the first of which comes from Last Night On Earth artist ThermalBear, the British producer offers up a New-Jersey tinged interpretation here, tipping the focus towards smooth chord progressions, swinging drums and tension building strings. Crosstown Rebels, NYC based artists Walker & Royce step up after to deliver a gritty analogue interpretation, stretching out the groove of the original cut into a brooding, ethereal number with elongated bass tones, cascading synth chords and weighty, raw rhythms.
Lastly to close the release is ‘Sex Lines’, the second original from Mia Dora in the package, which sees the duo merge hip-house vocal lines, bumpy Chicago drums and bubbling synth sounds, with a penetrating sub hook and expansive atmospheres to round off the package in style.


Tracklist:


1. Jezebel

2. Jezebel (ThermalBear Remix)

3. Jezebel (Walker & Royce Remix)

4. Sex Lines

ILLYUS & BARRIENTOS - Do Anything You Wanna - Glasgow Underground

The latest salvo from Glasgow Underground comes from a new collaboration between existing GU talent, Illyus and Barrientos. ‘Do You Wanna’ is a two track EP from the pair who have previously remixed Grum together (picking up support from Pete Tong’s Essential Selection straight off the bat) and delivered solo EPs for GU, Morris Audio and Seven Music.
Already seeing support from a huge range of DJs including Skream, Huxley, Sasha, Kiki and Amine Edge, ‘Do Anything You Wanna’ is set to be another Glasgow Underground bomb.
We're just a little bit proud of this collaboration. We've been working with these two guys for a while now and thought their talents would be a perfect match. After a bit of cajoling, we got the two of them in the studio and boy are we glad we did.

There is no other way to put this - "Do Anything You Wanna" is an absolute anthem. The vocals are hooky like "Shake That", pianos classy like Ejeca's finest and its beats walk around like they are bigger than Prince. An instant dancefloor bomb that should propel two of Glasgow's hottest new talents on to seriously big things. "The Times We Shared" is a bit moodier, but equally floor-filling. It oozes vocal style like the best of Diynamic but with some added super-tough Glaswegian beats that take the record into the kind of territory Deep Dish would be in (if they were still making records as good as they did in '94 today).
Glasgow Underground, Feb 2014
Illyus & Barrientos’ ‘Do Anything You Wanna’ is released everywhere 24th March 2014 with a Beatport exclusive appearing on the 10th of March.

DUSKY - Nobody Else Ep - Aus Music

Alfie Granger-Howell e Nick Harriman aka Dusky pubblicano finalmente il secondo potente lavoro su AUS Music.
Il “galleggiamento” tra underground house, techno e UK garage, fanno sì che le produzioni di questo duo londinese siano apprezzate e spinte da pezzi grossi tra cui Pete Tong, Joy Orbison, Jamie Jones, Boddika.
Il bassone e il clap la fanno da padrone nelle 4 tracce che compongo l’EP. “Atone” in particolare è cibo per la bocca dello stomaco, vibrazioni vere senza fronzoli, mentre in “Dummy”, “What I Never Knew” e “Nobody Else” i ragazzi si addolciscono un po’ (sempre per modo dire…) accennando qualche tenue melodia.
Anyway…roba da pista !

** curiosity: "It's all gone Pete Tong" is a UK slang used to mean "wrong", first conied by the english dj and broadcaster on BBC radio 2, Mark Radcliffe. The phrase is also the title of the 2004 fictional movie (mockumentary) by Michael Dowse, which tells about the story of a dj who goes completely deaf. The real Pete Tong and many famous djs like Carl Cox, Tiësto, Sarah Main, Barry Ashworth, Paul van Dyk, Lol Hammond appear in the film as themselves.
