With support from MK, The Magician, Bondax and the French Express crew, Australian house producer Lancelot has stealthily built up a name as one of his country's hottest talents - even being named by Mixmag as one to watch for 2014.
Releasing on Nurvous and Binary, Lancelot now presents his debut release on Anjunadeep - the label that has nurtured talents such as Dusky - which sees him collaborate with exciting new act Antony & Cleopatra on two vibrant pieces of contemporary house music.
Givin' It Up builds from soft pads into an infectious slab of piano house with an infectious bass groove, whilst the two vocalists, Alex Burnett of Sparkadia, and Anita Blay of CocknBullKid, go back and forth on clandestine vocals.
Givin' It Up is already getting attention from the right people, including The Magician, who included it in his 'Magic Tape 38'. Further support comes from the likes of Perseus, Russ Chimes and man of the hour, MK, who loved the track so much that he found time in his hectic schedule to turn out a remix. Expect that one early next year.
Premiered by T. Williams as the 'Hot Off The Desk' track on his BBC Radio 1 show, Make Ends Meet again features soulful vocals, textured with layers of chugging bass, brilliantly hooky melodies and clean skipping percussion. Blending stylish harmonics with a real dancefloor sensibility it rounds off an exciting debut on the label, packed full of complex, classy melodies and pure feel-good vibes.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Anjunadeep is considered to be one of the most important labels responsible for the growth of deep house / deep tech house style that seems to has taken over even the UK Top 40 and quickly becoming the next big thing. The label easily stand out and is the first must check deep house label cause never goes wrong and even if some may think the label take unwanted risks it seems that those pay off at the end. The latest beauties that will come out and wait to take a nice place in your music jewellery are the underground gems Givin' It Up & Make Ends Meets by Lancelot who collaborates with the lovely Antony & Cleopatra. Lancelot from Australia composes two very exceptional tracks with quality and most importantly great atmosphere and warm feel good emotions. Retro sounds that take us back in the beginning of house revolution with nice old school organ sounds, rave style piano melodies and erotic sounds that highlighted by the fantastic Antony & Cleopatra performance that is playful and absolutely absorbing. When its played on radio you are obliged to give up anything you do and start nodding your head and sing a long. Make Ends Meet remains on the same pathway with the warm feel of analogue house music at the back of your mind. Antony performance catch your attention easily and makes you wonder if its new recording or if it is actually sample from an old record. It evokes emotions and make us feel safe and secure. Of course both tracks are really cinematic and give you the illusion of being in another place like in an urban city late at night like London for instance but not now rather in the beginning of the 90's. Highly recommended. Love iT.
