Artist: Luca Olivotto
Track: I Found You 
Release name: It's Too Dark EP
Label: Small Great Things
Release date: 25-Apr-25


Small Great Things boss Luca Olivotto is back on his own imprint end of April with
the four track ‘It’s Too Dark’ EP.
In recent years, Italy via Berlin artist Luca Olivotto has been etching his mark on the
underground House scene through his labels Small Great Things, Endless Music
and recently minted At A Glance, as well as his Small Great House events series.
Here the story continues with a fresh collection of works from the prominent House
producer and DJ.
Opening is title-track ‘It’s Too Dark’, a six minute excursion through bright piano
keys, swinging drums, soulful vocal stylings and a bumpy bass hook. ‘It’s Over’
follows and dives into deeper House territory with warm strings, organ stabs, and
choppy subs intertwined with crisp drums, soft Rhodes and cut up vocals.
Opening the flip-side is ‘I Found You’, upping the energy levels again with a high
energy melodic drive, hypnotic vocal lines and heavily shuffled drums. ‘See Thru’
then concludes the release and leans into a more Disco-tinged House realm with
intertwined funk samples, sweeping filter work and intricately processed vocal
chants running atop a sturdy rhythmic foundation.

#hsmpremiere
Artist: Demarkus Lewis 
Track: Cold Heart 
Release title: Love Still Lives EP
Label: Vibe Me To The Moon
Release date: 27-Jun-25

Seasoned house favourite Demarkus Lewis lands on the ever more vital Vibe Me To The Moon Records

The US mainstay drops a trio of buttery deep house delights

Demarkus Lewis has been a real voice in the house world for more than 25 years. His music has come on influential staples like Large Music, King Street and Nervous, as well as his own Grin Music, Grin Traxx and Grin & Bass. He's a versatile artist with an authentic style, whether making tech, jack, deep or Afro-inspired sounds, and for that reason continues to DJ celebrated clubs across the US and Europe on a regular basis. This time out he gets deep and seductive on Nightsteppaz's sophisticated Vibe Me To The Moon Records.  

'Cold Heart' is a silky smooth groove, stripped back to the essentials but beautifully warm. The smeared chords make that so, while hooky motifs and twinkling pads bring a musicality that is all too rare. The icing on the cake is a smouldering r&b vocal that's aloof and magnetic. Slow-burn gem 'Love Still Lives' oozes late-night romance. The bubbly bassline nudges the groove forward with subtle swing that nods to classic US garage and a vocal that's equal parts tender and intoxicating. The whole thing is wrapped in syrupy pads that melt into the mix for after-dark love-ins.‘ Closer Touch My Love’ is another mood-soaked house cut for cosy corners and close company. Gentle, skipping drums create a soft, swaying rhythm as splashy cymbals shimmer like candlelight and a cooing neo-soul vocal whispers sweet nothings. 

These are the kind of love-up deep house tracks that quietly wrap around you and make the real world fade away.
