Generation Smash welcome New York native Dowell to the imprint for his debut single ‘Right Now’. The Smash The House sublabel have long excelled in pushing fresh talent and established names alike, and Dowell is the latest in a long line of on-fire producers to make their bow on the label.

The track starts as it means to go on, in full party mode. A pumping beat and synth tones work hand in hand to set the distinctive groove rocking right from the beginning. The stuttering synth becomes more prominent as the track goes on, punctuated by a secondary synth flutter that switches things up. Vocal glitches and breakbeats flit in and out of the track, keeping interest piqued as tensions build towards the crescendo that is the main drop. 

Since breaking out onto the scene in 2015, Dowell’s stock has been steadily rising, heard in sets from the industry’s biggest players, including Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Tiësto and R3HAB. ‘Right Now’ is another step in the right direction for the US artist, who continues to go from strength to strength.

Hailing out of Athens, Greece, shining producer Deagon has leapfrogged over many rising stars in the industry to put his sound of Europe on the map, thanks to his touch to twist his workings into pathways stretching from the energetic to the emotive.

Leading on from his previous releases that have already caught the attention of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Sander Van Doorn, Dash Berlin and many more, Deagon welcomes in audiences to lose themselves in the magic with this sparkling introduction into 2022 on ‘Running’. Fusing together deep-house reverberations and an underground, progressive-leaning build-up that adds depth to the soaring female vocal, as ‘Running’ simmers up to its pre-chorus apex, keys flutter and build the tension before an overspill of euphoria is unavoidable. “Freedom makes me feel alive” shines the topline through the speakers, the production standing bold and dense within its club-ready attitude and dramatic piano stabs as all of the attributes work in tandem to produce a knock-out of a track.
