The prodigal son has returned! Dakin Auret is back once again, this time with a three track EP for Plus Plus. This time he brought along a few of his fellow country men to contribute on the remix end along with label mainstay llieno and Mike Terra.

Opening the EP we have the Wanna be. Dark and moody, it’s Dakin at his finest. A thick, heavy kick sets the foundation, with a deep moog-esque bassline punctuating the space between. The vocal is warm yet haunting all at once, creating this unique juxtaposition tha pulls you to the dance floor while keeping ear’s open, ever anticipating where the track is going to take you next.

Next up we have It’s Mine, a bit more light hearted with a nice skip and bounce to the beat. A thick, rhythmic bass pushes the track ever forward. Subtle  in it’s execution, but devastating in the hands of someone who knows how to work the dance floor. 

Dakin’s final contribution to the EP is a subtle dance floor killer. Going back to his dark disco roots on this one, the bassline front and center with unnerving stabs making their presence known with out warning. The vocals create a space and depth in the mix, while never really staying anything. Definitely one for those late night dark rooms!

Opening the remix round we have label staple llieno contributing his reinterpretation of Wanna Be. Going with a more garage inspired take, the pads are straight forward and powerful, while the bassline bounces along, giving it a playful feel that’s in contrast to slightly detuned keys and swelling synth line.

Dakins mates are up next, contributing a trio of bass heavy, dance floor focused tech house monsters. Rob Sloan’s remix is all about the punishing kick and the dubbed out synths that circle around the mix. It never lets up from the moment it has you locked in, only pushing further ahead until the very end.

Kyle Maclean’s remix is a bit more subtle than Rob Sloan’s, but still packs a punch. The kick is more punchier and tighter, while the bassline just hums underneath the track, creating space for the vocals to sit on top and be the star. 

Kanan K7 takes Wanna Be and gives it a full on synthed out makeover. Reminiscent of Steyoyoke’s sound, the groove is very 4 to the floor oriented, allowing the bassline to hum while providing the synths with space to breath and strut their stuff. 

Wrapping up the EP we have Mike Terra all the way from New York. His remix of It’s Mine is the very definition of a drum machine work out. Toms galore from the with get go, the kick just keeps pounding and pushing with the strings soaring on top, giving it a majestic quality while the drums pound away and cause havoc underneath.

Dakin Auret - Wanna Be EP (PLUS031) Release Date March 11th

Plus Plus is here to keep the vibes going all summer long! After digging through out back catalog to produce some remixes for his previous release, Ared is back with with an outstanding EP that delivers sun soaked vibes for lazy afternoons. From the emotional and uplifting strings and keys on “Real Hope”, to the tight drum driven grooves and forward bassline on “Intro”, Ared’s once again shows off his distinct approach to melodies and harmonies while keeping the grooves grounded.

New comer Drymouth takes a focused approach on “Real Hope”, creating an electro influenced throw back vibe with it’s broken drums and sequenced synth lines that harken back to days gone by. The arrangement is a no frills affair that delivers the goods and doesn’t hold back.

LoveAmplified makes his much anticipated return to Plus Plus with his remix of “Real Hope” Stripping it down to to a few fundamental bits from the original, LoveAmplified builds it back up into deep and chugging house vibes. And as luck would have it, LoveAmplified was kind enough to include an instrumental as well for those late night vibes.

Wrapping up the EP we have Odøn tearing down “Intro” and creating a downtempo remix with shades of trip hop. Odøn’s slinky drums and hazy vibes are on full display. While the drums may be loose and lively, Odøn’s attention to detail is anything but. With a thoughtful arrangement and every synth complimenting it’s counter point, Odøn creates a remix where the whole is greater than the sums of it’s parts.

Grab the goods!

To me, this track feels like a major leap forward in finding my process. It was a helluva lot of fun to make.  I made a commitment to sneaking my voice somewhere in all my tracks, so it's in there somewhere for the attentive to find. (This is my "Schmastering" attempt, and it hasn't been professionally treated yet.)

Big thanks to everyone to danced their faces off the first time I played it out at the Grand. (Ceremony crew & Portland homies, I love you guys.)

Props to Dali, whom I presume would be fine with my use of his sketch.

After gaining underground and media critical acclaim alike for his Teggno Records establishment, Lance decided it was time create a new musical outlet. Where as Teggno Records is focused on the more forward thinking and cutting edge end of the techno spectrum, it was time to take a step back, drop the bpms a bit and enjoy the groovier, more subdued end of the dance spectrum.

Enter Plus Plus, Lance's new output for anything deep and dubby. The perfect balance to his already reputable Teggno outlet, Plus Plus is in the process of building a network of like minded individuals and really believes in building a "family first" mentality while helping it's young and raw roster develop and hone their skills.
