In the transient heat wave of an English summer, UK resident Scotty.A and his "Natural Senses" EP lit up long, warm evenings with his unique blend of articulate melodies and rhythms to keep dance floors brimming long into sultry nights. The natural evolution of this three track EP has already seen the release of one component piece of the combined jigsaw puzzle in the shape of "Once More Into The Fray", remixed by Silinder and Anthony Yarranton. The second instalment of a three-part trilogy sees Proton Music proud to announce the full release of "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" with dynamic new remixes from two heavyweights in the underground music arena.
Argentinean, Mike Griego is not concerned with the trappings and fripperies of traditional biographical detail. Preferring to let his production work make statements on his behalf, a refreshing maxim is based upon the fact that it is his music that describes and defines him best. A production career that begins in mid 2009 gives some clue as to the expertise found in his work as a debut for Atlantdigital saw Griego announced on a world stage. Since then, work for Replug, Mistique and Soundteller have all played host to his talents while a contribution to the Sudbeats compilation in May 2013 saw him make a further statement on Hernan Cattaneo's legendary imprint.
Thus, judged by deed not by word, Mike Griego's debut appearance for Proton Music surely presents a shining example of an individual with passion for his craft. Turning his attentions to remixing Scotty.A, a delightfully sultry percussive rhythm section opens proceeding before a funk-fuelled bass line chaperones a glassy motif and soft, undulating pad atmospheres. As the pace quickens slightly in the latter stages with breathy vocals cuts, the sublime groove drops once more with wonderful South American flavour.
Athenian, Ioannis Ntouskis has been a major force in the underground dance movement since his debut EP hit the Bedrock label in 2004. More than 300 production credits have subsequently been associated with the Dousk name for a plethora of high-calibre labels including Plusquam and Lost language. Furthermore, two full-length albums have made their way onto the Klik imprint, a huge body of material onto the highly respected Vapour label and a multimedia presence which has seen the Dousk sound feature on numerous television and radio ads as well as MTV Music Awards and the globally renowned CSI hit TV show.
March 2013 marked Dousk's debut with Proton Music and a beautifully crafted remix of Tvardovsky's "Infinite", followed by a July launch of the much lauded "Bisocial" EP of which "Look Good Tonight" went on to receive the full remix treatment from Soulwerk and Embliss. Taking on "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter", Dousk has unearthed a deliciously brooding work of skill and craft. A light, ticking percussive section brings an understated urgency to a deep bass groove and dance floor delight. A loquacious, pitched down vocal sample piques further interest and subtle melodic interludes weave genuine magic in a supremely inventive remix.
Remixes from Mike Griego and Dousk have ensured that Scotty.A no longer hunts alone in affairs of the heart.
