Professional party starter, and keen exponent of underground dance sounds, Sean Harrington, cues up his first release for Ben Rau’s META label.  ‘Soul X’ backed with ‘Camden Palace’ finds the promising new artist from the North East of England flex his musical chops on a very impressive debut.

A chunky and up-tempo house groove is served up on ‘Soul X’, as driving bass pulses, acidic squelches and vocal hook are added to the slammin’ drums for a real peak time burner.  Accompanying track, ‘Camden Palace’, plays it slightly deeper, with a nod to the legendary London venue that bore witness to many a garage and house rave over the decades!  Lucious pads and strings combo swell over the tight drum rhythm, and those classic ‘hands in the air’ Korg M1 piano stabs masterfully create a tidy breakdown moment before heady 303 tones are dusted over this throwback production.

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records presents a series of extra special collaborative releases Together, integrating talent from the label’s storied past and the stars of its future as Joseph Capriati delivers two remixes of Sandy Rivera’s ‘I Can’t Stop’. Originally released via Defected in 2002, ‘I Can’t Stop’ showcased Defected House Master Sandy Rivera’s ear for jackin’ minimal groove, with old school stuttered vocals and keys making for a club record that still receives play to this day. Over two decades later, the globally revered Italian champion Joseph Capriati steps up on remix duties, following another knockout summer in Ibiza with sets for Circoloco at DC-10, Jamie Jones’ Paradise closing party, and his headline show Metamorfosi at Amnesia to name a small few. Capriati delivers two remixes of ‘I Can’t Stop’, the first showcasing the revered producer’s signature deep house sound that fills dancefloors globally, with the second paying homage to the groovin’ sound of Sandy Rivera’s OG, for the heads in the know.
