The Groovy List #20

Pre-order: https://dualistinquiry.bandcamp.com/album/get-you-back-single

@dualistinquiry returns to his @dualismrec imprint with a new single that delivers emotional whiplash on the dancefloor, 'Get You Back', exploring the push and pull of desire and uncertainty.

“Get You Back is what happens when a dancefloor anthem gets tangled up in its own feelings,” he says. “It’s bouncy, driving, dreamy, and just a little ridiculous, enough to keep bodies moving and hearts confused. The whole thing feels like a high-speed chase scene where you're fleeing from a solitary-flower-wielding pursuer who wants you back, but it's too little, too late.”

“The difference between a painter and a musician is one of time. A painter paints space, a musician composes time.” - Gertrude Stein

With a finely tuned ear for rave-ready energy and soul-soothing melodies, Manchester duo Cortese continue a run of fine form. Following standout releases on LNOE and Hotflush, they make their long-awaited debut on Constant Circles with the Parallels EP - an essential slice of forward thinking UKG.

Two original cuts lead the way, showcasing Cortese’s signature blend of nostalgic garage vibes and cutting-edge production. These are closely followed by two standout remixes: label boss Just Her delivers a deep and driving rework, while Jozef K, known for his immersive sonic textures, delivers a haunting atmospheric twist, each bringing a new flavour to appease any dance floor.

Completing the package is original street art from Brighton’s legendary graffiti artist Unknown, raw and unfiltered, drawing on the parallel between art and music. Unceasing. Limitless. A constant circle.

Originating from Adelaide @youngmanhank impressed us with his Wabi-Sabi track last year, becoming a set staple, so when Nerang hit us up with his new EP we were all ears. 
We've got the track 'Knoe' to show you today and its a lush & floaty 2-step house track. Lightheaded synths swim over that sizzling garage beat and subtle sub bass, leaving with you with nothing else to do but get your 2-step on. I think i see another set staple coming on!

Out August via @nerangrecordings

SB PREMIERE: Hank Youngman - Knoe [Nerang]
