…The pair have a studio that brims with vintage gear and rare oddities, alongside a vast archive of samples – mostly on vinyl – which they’ve curated since the early 90s. Their output spans two decades of playing the world’s finest dance floors, they have worked together on each other’s solo projects on International Feel and have a shared love of hardware-driven house and disco with real atmosphere. Arrivals: Part 1 is an introduction to the sound of this pair and will be swiftly followed by Part 2, with both EPs showcasing their wide range of talents. The duo say “We share an eclectic love of music with atmosphere, warmth and a certain magic, from 1950s soul through to 90s Italian dream house and beyond, but with Somethin’ Sanctified we’re channeling our inspirations squarely at the dance floor. We aim for our productions to reflect the kind of tracks we DJ out as well. ” And so it is right from the off, where the excellent ‘CYA’ gets the fists pumping thanks to its warm and sunny chords and timeless bassline. A great vocal sample adds attitude and this one will bring the summer vibes no matter the weather outside.
