Its time for a new OFF Recordings music delivery, and this time we put Betoko, one of the most exciting names in the global scene, in charge.
Mexican-born but based in London, this notorious musically trained producer unleashes all his melodic arsenal in two outstanding tracks for our delight.
This talented artist began working on "Im a Gin" 18 months ago in the renown Red Bus Recording Studios where George Michael, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Tina Turner, Jocelyn Brown and Imagination themselves have all recorded at and where he shapes his new productions today.
The idea behind "Im a Gin" was to revive the authentic retro-funky Imagination vibe. The song contains elements of the song using the same stems from the original record; and all crafted in the same studio where Imagination originally created all of their tracks, same compressors, keyboards and console creating the highest sonic quality sound.
On the flipside, and following the same retro-funk spirit, we have "U Got 2"...With another killer clap disco groove and a synth bassline topped with sweet synth sounds and vocals that create an unforgettable trip. One for our most romantic groovers here, another one for the books!

Dimitri Kechagias review: Betoko is a name to watch out as he manage slowly to build his very good reputation and grow his fanbase worldwide. His latest EP on Off Recordings will funk you, groove you and give you plenty of opportunities to jack your body as it meant house music to be. High quality production techniques take you on board for a very groovy laid back trip to eternity. Drifting, mesmerising and so delicious that you press play again and again. U Got 2 is moving on the same direction with electro pop infusions upon the chunky beats and funky deep basslines. The melodies are smooth and so relaxing that no balearic house set can be without them. Its great to see producers digging in the past and reviving the same good old vibes. Love iT
