“Thyia” is an ethereal, acid-house track infused with floating breakbeats and fuzzy vintage-sounding synthesis. Pitter-pattering white noise accents the percussion, while reverb-laden claps occasionally crash across the audio spectrum. The track is a gradual crescendo that ebbs and flows like a powerful tide pulling rocks back into the sea. 

Featured predominantly in “Thyia” are the sounds of the Roland TB-303. To Ho Megas, adding a 303 to his music only makes sense since, after all, he lives in the 303 - the area code of Denver, Colorado. “I can’t say it was a conscious decision to be interested in the TB-303 while living in the 303. More it made sense to use the 303 for the sound I was trying to create,” says Ho Megas. “Then I thought, ‘Huh, why aren’t we talking about the 303 more in the 303, especially with so many 303 sounds in the 303?” 

Denver is emerging as an important city for house music - a genre of music that’s used the sounds of the TB-303 predominantly for nearly its entire history. On top of boasting globally iconic DJs week in and week out, Denver also has a local legacy that goes back to the early ‘90s. It is also the headquarters of Beatport, the popular online electronic music store. As a result of this long history, Denver now boasts hundreds of people who either DJ or produce music that features the sounds of the 303. 

He believes this is only a matter of time until Colorado becomes a globally recognized hub for local grown house music like it did for other types of electronic music. “The scene is thirsty. There are shows almost every night of the week, often with conflicts. There is also so much talent here signed to some really incredible labels,” notes Ho Megas. “Clearly, Colorado has had success fostering homegrown talent in other electronic music genres, so I think it’s only a matter of time here. For example, the bass scene is ranked behind maybe only Bristol and London in terms of prestige. Therefore, I think it’s only a matter of time until some talent from the 303 starts emerging on a global level since house music is starting to be in Denver what bass music was in 2010.”

“Thyia” is out 03/03.

For our 34th release, Hurlee returns to the game and presents his new work, "City Lights Reborn EP” which consists of four well-balanced original tracks. Among them, though not in order, we have “Retro Revival” and “Steal The Show” which are clear examples of our boy signature sound, a classic and elegant house experience, perfect for the early hours. On the other hand, we have "Parisian Groove" and "Nuits Brillantes" where he steps out of his comfort zone to offer us two rawer and deeper cuts where the use of sampling takes the center stage. Old-school sound adapted for contemporary dance floors.
