After releasing his debut “Brighter Future” last year, Belgian dj/producer Gratts returns with an EP showcasing his skill crafting emotive house cuts. Written while stuck in Adelaide in 2020, "Euphoria" was dreamed up during coastal car rides, windows down, bumpin’ beats, with added musings by local legend Brian Ruiz. When “Méditation Nocturne” kicks off we’re still in the car - this time on a nocturnal meander through the ill-lit Adelaide hills, evoking misty feelings of nostalgia.
On the flipside, DIY Discs’ staple PJ Principle (FKA Peej) out of Nottingham steers “Euphoria” straight into disco heaven with a tasty Linn Drum groove, piano and guitar - a cut that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Steely Dan record. Last but not least, New York's Jenifa Mayanja delivers a lush and dreamy rework of “Méditation Nocturne” that’s sure to captivate dancefloors worldwide.

The Lion's Den - Desert Hearts - May 9 2020 Stream

Belgian DJ and producer Gratts returns in superb Balearic fashion here with a new song he penned for his two young sons, Leo and Ziggy. 'Sun Circles' also makes the first release from new South Australia-based label Be Strong Be Free. It is dreamy house with gently breaking synth waves and majestic twinkling chords as well as some brilliantly sultry sax lines and vocals. The tune was recorded over the last year and a half in various studios with musicians such as New Zealand-born Nathan Haines, London's Mr Beale, Belgians Jasper Hautekiet, Levi Wynants and Frederik Kuhn. Berlin-based Alex Kassian remixes on the flip.
