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!
