Dakin Auret is here to kick off 2022 with a trio of originals in is signature style that harkens back to 80’s electro and a light hearted approach to writing. We have the Italian Stallion Queemose with his fresh take on house, and label stalwarts Garden Party and Kári bringing their tailored flavors to the EP.

Dakin opens with Time Out, a thick and heavy beat is accompanied with a rubbery bassline that doesn’t let up. Wish vocals swirl around to add a touch of Femme Fatale to dance floor destroyer. 

Contrary to its title, Sunshiner takes a bit more of an introspective turn with a darker bassline and a haunting synth line. The vocals ring out, providing a touch of atmosphere and space over the claustrophobic inducing crunch of the drums.

Way Back is vintage Dakin Auret, with a crisp machine driven groove and spacious bassline that plays off of the pads. With a pacing thats a bit more subdued, Way Out sets the pace for those opening sets that builds anticipation for the evening ahead.

The Italian Stallion is back with his inspiring approach Sunshiner. Taking the haunting synths from the original and looping the vocals from the original, he adds a fun and sunny synth line thats reminiscent of vintage house organs of years past. His analog drum groove keeps building whole the original lead is layered time and again to create a euphoric moment that will leave the dance floor smiling.

The Icelandic enigma is back with their focused approach on dub and ambients for their remix on Sunshiner. Doing a complete 180 turn when compared to Queemose, Kári takes the vocals and twists them into an instrument themselves. With a heavy percussion groove and a gnarly guitar feedback that’s fighting to break loose, Kári’s remix just oozes tension and restraint. 

The mythical beast that is Garden Party brings up the year, but still delivers a dance floor heater in the process! Taking a note from their earlier rocker days, GP’s remix of Way Back is filled to the brim with saturated guitar lines and distorted synths turned all the way up to 11. Taking the gentle synths from the original creates and juxtaposition that compliments each other from start to finish. 

With Dakin leading the way, 2022 is off to a great start for Plus Plus and friends!

Dakin Auret - Time Out Ep [PLUS065] Release Date Feb 25th, 2022

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.

Dakin Auret - Time Out

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.
