Gavin Boyce springs back into action with his sophomore effort on NT. Following the success of his Nordic Trax debut ‘Sometimes It’s Me Ep’ [NT054 – released Feb 2008], the young Irish producer is in fine form on this three-track EP. His previous NT release received support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Nacho Marco, Fish Go Deep, DJ Harri, Mazi & Kaskade among others, and early support for this one has been just as strong.

Kicking things off is ‘Antitrust’ – a darker, big-room number for fans of Objektivity, Halo/CityDeep, Tiger Stripes & Danism. Lots of space in the mix for a looping build that reaches its peak before a long release & breakdown. Mature sensibilities yet directed straight at the dancefloor –this is modern house music.

Next up Gavin delivers another gem with ‘First Movements’ – which comes across on first impressions as a straight deep number. The tune is driven by a massive kick & lovely hook which takes a most unexpected turn a third of the way through: evolving into a decidedly more stripped-back affair. When the second hook drops, it’s sheer joy.

Rounding things out is ‘Face Down’, the genesis for this project which originally appeared on Luke McKeehan's critically-acclaimed compilation 'Many Shades Of House Volume 2' [NT057 - released June 2008]. Solid beats and a deliciously hooky piano-line give this track an old school vibe for the end-of-the-night crowd. Before you know it the strings have dropped, and its 1989 all over again. Tune!

Gavin lives in Waterford, Ireland and is resident deejay for Republik, playing regularly alongside the likes of Mark Farina, Kerri Chandler & Charles Webster. He has previous releases on Alphabet, Chillin’ and of course Nordic Trax, and his tracks have been licensed to OM Records & Ministry of Sound among others.
