Olympus

Wrote this track back in the summer of 2015 in Durham, NC while still at Duke. It was about 2am on a Saturday and there was a party going on downstairs / a big bonfire in the backyard. I felt exhausted from producing all day. I shut off my computer and left the studio to go hang with friends but there was some voice in my head telling me to go back. 

I booted the computer back up, wrote the chord progression in about 30 seconds, then randomly dropped 2 pieces of the acapella from Isley Brothers ft. Angela Winbush, Lil'Kim, 112 - "Float On" which fit surprisingly well. I brought a few friends into the studio soonafter and seeing the looks on their faces I knew this track must be finished.

Over the last 2 years I've made 186 versions and counting, and here is what it turned out to be. 

Fun fact: the original name of the project file was "Bout 2 Go 2 Sleep."

Out now on the Anjunabeats in Miami compilation.

A sought after ID from Dragan’s DJ sets and radio show, ‘I Swear’ takes things in a deeper, progressive direction for his first Anjuna outing. Reuniting with indie-electronica act ANIMA! who featured on 2016’s ‘All Of Us’, ‘I Swear’ matches distinctive vocals with a darker club edge.

Purveyor of the progressive house scene for over a decade, James ‘Jimbo’ Cayzer aka Jaytech returns to the Anjunafamily with his first three track EP on the label. Responsible for the timeless ‘Everything Is OK’ album and a series of funk heavy hits including ’New Vibe’ and ’Stranger’, the ‘Show You’ EP is full of the uplifting vibe that makes this Australian producer so popular.

EP title track is the infectious ‘Show You’, introducing Boston based vocalist Tommy Murphy to the fold. A favourite from Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats Volume 13 compilation, ‘Inspire’ is a modern interpretation of the classic progressive sound. Rounding off the package with a knockout blow is the punchy ‘Haymaker’.

Jaytech joins the Anjunabeats North American tour this Spring with dates in Miami, Boston, Washington DC and New York.
