Exclusive Premiere: Drum Dance “Venus Dub 2”
Exciting things are happening as UK-producer Drum Dance launches his new label, Into The Cosmos, with a standout four-track release that showcases his eclectic taste and production skills. Among the tracks is the captivating “Venus Dub 2”, a must-hear for fans of dub, jazz, and Balearic sounds.
“Venus Dub 2” is an 80s jazz Balearic-inspired track that takes a journey to Kingston for a bass-heavy dub makeover. The resulting track is a lush, atmospheric track with irresistible grooves. Drum Dance’s production shines as he expertly balances influences to create a track that’s both relaxing and propulsive, making it a perfect addition to any summer playlist.
As for the rest of the EP, the release kicks off with “Zani!”, a cosmic head-nodder influenced by both Chicago footwork and Malian music, paying homage to the legendary Zani Diabaté. Following this is “Body Heat”, a Latin-flavored boogie number that keeps the energy high with its four-to-the-floor beat, sultry disco vocals, and jazzy keys.
Closing the release is “Adan On Dòt Soley”, a personal dedication to the beautiful island of Gwadloup. This track begins with spaced-out synths and evolves into a dubby percussive jam, featuring the enchanting Fender Rhodes keys recorded by Andy Wileman. Field recordings of birds singing, waves lapping, and the sounds of gwo ka drumming on the beach bring the listener to a serene and soulful conclusion.
The EP is released this Friday, on vinyl, pressed by Vinyl Factory and digital. Available directly via Bandcamp, plus Juno, Phonica, Redeye Records, Clone, HHV, Deejay.de, and so on.
