UK-based producer Bostock has just released a pair of emotive house tracks, “Remembrall” / “Midnight Sinner” via Big Love. Both sonic excursions are perfect for at-home listening or whenever after-hours parties return.
We’re extremely pleased to world premiere the music video for “Midnight Sinner.”
The video opens with slo-mo, pre-pandemic footage of people dancing on a packed dance floor. No social distancing! No masks! No cares in the world!
As the deep track unfurls, washes of blue and red lights bathe the club as strobe lights pierce through the darkness. In the end, the video reminds us of good times past and better ones to come.
Picard Brothers, the up-and-coming Parisian producer/musician duo comprised of Clément Picard and Maxime Picard, are closing out the shitshow known as 2020 with a remix of Disclosure’s new track “Watch Your Step” featuring Kelis. They’ve also got a pair of remixes of their brand new ’90s-style house jam “It’s Not Over” out December 18 on Island.
We’re thrilled to world premiere Ateph Elidja’s pumping, funky-ass remix of the aforementioned track.
The brothers had this to say about Ateph’s interpretation: “He took the song and added his special black and white ultra-elegant style, real raw and sonically impeccable.”
