Frank & Tony ‘Eastern Meantimes’

Artist: Frank & Tony

Eastern Meantimes feat. Eliana Glass (Timmy Regisford & DSOL Retouch)

Teletransport to Empyrean Heaven: Francis Harris and Anthony Collins provide unique smoothness with ‘Eastern Meantimes’, alongside another original and a set of Timmy Regisford’s interpretations of the main song. The tracklist opens with the title track, which features the New York based artist Eliana Glass. Teeny grooves and lowpass filtered synths interface perfectly with the lyrics, arousing a cozy and warm sensation. Follows ‘Absence’ made with an equivalent sound setup, the drums are sharper than in the other track but the mood is still sensual, embracing and fulfilling.
Timmy Regisford enjoys the ‘Eastern Meantimes’ remix parts in a decise and interesting way: he keeps constantly an eye to the original theme, taking care of it and adaptating the many instruments into a new catchy sound platform, which definitely blinks to the dancefloor.

Minus & Zianos ‘Devotion’

Artist: Minus & Zianos
Title: Devotion
Label: Sublease Music
Remixer: Moodtrax
Cat. #: slm018
Format: Digital
Release Date: August 26th 2022
Tracklist:
01. Devotion
02. Groove
03. Devotion (Moodtrax Remix)

Pre order link: https://subleasemusic.lnk.to/Devotion

Sublease Music (the sister label of Poker Flat Recordings) goes a little bit harder than its usual with the forthcoming release signed by the Greek based duo Minus & Zianos. ‘Devotion’ still features really club oriented sounds, even if the song motifs expose catchy and phat house music. The title track with its large sounding kickdrum and piano chord go straight to the point, revealing from the very first moments a simple but amazing drum loop; unlike the main theme ‘Groove’ moves to the underground with a tiny kick sample and a low-fi synth, which runs with a simple melody all over the playback. It must be said that this song arouses an intimate mood that gets closer to our soul.

Watergate vintage infusion: Biesmans and his ‘Teamworks’ collaborative EP (forthcoming in the digital only series) will delight the crowd with exclusive disco and 80s oriented sonorities.

Simon Doty ‘Tattoo’

Artist: Simon Doty
Title: Tattoo
Label: Anjunadeep
Cat. #: ANJDEE717BD1
Format: Digital
Release Date: August 16th 2022
Tracklist:
1. Extended Mix
2. 3am In Dhërmi Extended Mix

Simon Doty returns on Anjunadeep with his signature sound (and with the vocals of Ruth Royall), publishing the single ‘Tattoo’ and a ‘3am In Dhermi’ titled interpretation. He chooses again a mixture of lyrics over a solid instrumental, but this time it’s straight to the dancefloor more than his usual: the summer is coming to its end, everyone wish to be carefree and to feel intense emotions, probably these are the factors that influenced him to act in this way. Both the mixes sound great, the original is very house influenced while the second follows a fierce and energetic progressive house style.

Title: The Way You Say
Label: Higher Ground
Cat. #: high100
Format: Digital
Release Date: July 2022
Tracklist:
1. The Way You Say

The title track is more catchy than ‘Fly By’, anyway this last reveals an easy-going and underground vibe, thanks also to special female lyrics.
