Leeds based producer DeMarzo one of my favourite producers, always delivering high quality tunes with powerful techy underground vibes often coupled with some really nice vocals. With this new EP out on Tube and Berger’s label – Kittball Records from 12th January 2016, he is delivering more of the same. This is a versatile EP which is already being well received and could fit well into a variety of different types of DJ set.
The lead track on the EP – ‘I Like It’, features very strong bass stabs with vocal ad-libs and chops which sets the scene for a nice and heavy underground feel . A catchy vocal bridges the track into the drop with some retro sounding synths also giving a groovy feel to the track. This is my preferred track on the release and I will definitely looking forward to playing this at forthcoming events.
The EP features two versions of ‘Another Day’ with the Original Mix, already receiving support on BBC Radio 1 and also the Heartless Dub version without the vocal. The vocal on the Original Mix would certainly give this track appeal to a wider audience, however the typical Demarzo addictive bassline means that either version would also make a nice addition to a rolling tech house set.
In my opinion DeMarzo is one of the most underrated producers in the scene. Overall this is a great addition to his collection and a really strong release with a lot of potential. I look forward to hearing what else he will bring to the table later in the year.
