Southern Fried look to up and coming act Dorsia for an EP filled with original ideas and moody grooves, plus fine remixes from Outboxx and FunkBias.
Dorsia is a London based house project born from the minds of Adam Reid and Andy Watson. They debuted in 2014 with the Ghana EP on LOFT Records which picked up DJ support from Bicep and Tensnake, which also led to regular appearances in Fabric's Room 1. 2015 saw them release their Bygones EP on Chasing Unicorn and will also see them launch their own party, Dorsia & Friends, at Oslo in Hackney, starting on 15AUG.
Next up though is this superb new EP on Southern Fried Records. It opens with the title track, which has big claps, proud bass stabs and a strong female vocal all making for a fulsome, modern house sound.
Bristol boys and feel-good producers Outboxx - of labels like Futureboogie and BRSTL - remix it into a much darker, deeper and more heads down techno affair. Icy hi hats jangle above a hurried deep bassline sucking you into a vast abyss on this stellar production.
Second on the remix, FunkBias (aka garage and bass men Zed Bias + Funk Butcher) then flip it into a huge, main room banger with massive piano chords, echoing vocals and plenty of summery, playful grooves.
Dorsia’s other original is ‘Orisha,’ a much more patient and moody cut. Swirling electronics set a sombre atmosphere as chilly female vocals float about with a heavenly edge, then a slick, mid tempo, deep house kick-clap combo comes in and the track glides perfectly into a melancholic house roller.
This is a really exciting release from this fast rising new duo, and with so much more planned to come from them this year a very promising future lies ahead!
