Ian O’Donovan - Mistral EP [XYZ011]
Release date : 12.6.2019
Purchase : www.beatport.com/release/mistral/2770744

As a crucial figure in the history of the thriving Irish dance scene, and a favorite of the When We Dip team since their early formation in Dublin, Ian O’Donovan is an artist innately connected to the XYZ label. Through an illustrious career, he’s presented his unique blend of uplifting productions on behemoths such as Bedrock and Suara. After his smashing remix of Budakid’s Anesthesia, we’re ecstatic to have the Irishman back on the label in full with the Mistral EP.

Summer Rain acts as a lush middle ground on the EP. By embracing the energy-forward opener, while also settling listeners into a melodic daze in preparation for Mistral, it’s a crucial installment in the journey of Ian O’Donovan’s project. A dramatic build throughout the track leads to the peak of the EP, before giving way to a house kick and retro-rave outro.
