Demarkus Lewis – Smoke [PREVIEW CLIP] by Headset Recordings

The versatile Demarkus Lewis presents Smoke, a deep house gem of a track that combines drum dynamics with complex harmonies and sub bass. Demarkus confidently carries his notes outward into soulful euphoric pads while he shuffles his drums to alternately push the chords apart and fold them back together. Smoke is addictive and moving in its ethereal groove.

Demarkus Lewis – Smoke (Desos Remix) [PREVIEW CLIP] by Headset Recordings

Denmark’s Desos (Deso Records) plants the celestial sound of Smoke in a warm and organic bed of syncopated hand percussion to create an earthy remix. The electric bassline pushes and pulls the harmony with magnetic force. Giant whole notes help the chorus to break the arrangement open until the echo of a rhythm guitar carries the remix back to the drum arrangement. Desos’ remix is perfect for outdoor Springtime sessions.

Do It Proper – Dubtronic (Original Mix) [PREVIEW CLIP] by Headset Recordings

Do It Proper presents ‘Dubtronic’, a stripped-down drum meditation that pulses with waves of electronic dub vibes.

Do It Proper is the alter-ego of Chicago based Londoner, Lee Jarvis. His hybrid style of house and techno is flavored by the multi-cultural fusion that he lives everyday. Lee’s had previous well-received releases on Headtunes and Lost My Dog.

The single is packaged with remixes from Daniel Allen, one of Austin’s favorite house/techno DJs and Demarkus Lewis, the Dallas luminary of deep tech.

Daniel Allen’s Tronic Dub pulls out the electric pulse from the original mix and combines it with acid house inspired drums to create a darker and more primal vibe.

Demarkus Lewis’ Raw N Deep Mix uses the original parts differently and reveals their harmonic textures, showers them with organic percussion, layers in rich synth pads and elevates ‘Dubtronic’ to a spiritual high.

Artist: Randal Soeung
EP Title: What It’s For
Released on January 31st, 2012
——————————————————————–

Tracklisting:
1. Randal Soeung – What It’s For (Original Mix)
2. Randal Soeung – What It’s For (Jesus Pablo Remix)
——————————————————————–

Randal Soeung has come down from his studio in the Arkansas mountains to deliver a new single for Headset Recordings. This release also features the Headset debut of Jesus Pablo (Headtunes, Something Different, Lost My Dog), who pulls out all the stops for a beautiful remix. Both tracks are iconic in their simplicity and will have a wide appeal.

Randal Soeung – What It’s For (Original Mix) by Headset Recordings

Randal hand-rolls his house beats in deep atmospheric sounds to create an elegant and emotionally moving Original Mix. Robust percussion punches through pad swells that are driven forward by a sub-bass growl of a bassline. The lead melody sifts through mallet percussion while breathy vocals build an intimacy that is both ethereal and direct.

Randal Soeung – What It’s For (Jesus Pablo Remix) by Headset Recordings

The Jesus Pablo Remix forges the lead voice into an acoustic piano riff that brings to mind ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ acoustics with an Acid House flare. The drums are freshly tuned for modernity and the bass mingles with open jagged chords. Jesus Pablo has been really hitting his stride lately, crafting wonderfully deep and techy tracks with a sound that matures with every release.
