13th Hour Vol. 2
Hamatsuki, deRijk & M. Vaughan
2018
Our second EP--a three tracker exploring the murkiest depths of the house spectrum. Tbilisi stalwart Hamasuki opens up the A-side with his synth-heavy, vocal-laden track “You As Ronnie,” a cosmic trance-tinged epic sure to move the spellbound late-night floor. Following in the A2 slot is up-and-coming Bristolian deRijk with “The Realm,” a true deep house belter nodding heavily to the piano anthems of the early 90’s – heavy hitting kicks and meltingly melodic keys abound. And last but very much not least is Brooklyn local M. Vaughan, taking the B-side all to himself with “Jupiter Ballad,” a layered masterpiece of haunting vocals, fluttering percussion and muddy basslines.
