The iconic Seattle-based house music imprint Uniting Souls has snagged two brilliant tracks from veteran UK DJ/producer Col Lawton for a club-primed double A-side single. Col is known to many as a founder of Deep Fix Recordings and for releases with the likes of King Street Sounds, Atjazz Record Company, and Salted Music. This release is a perfect blend of the Pacific Northwest and the UK's Northern Dance Scene.
"Little Closer" opens the single with a brisk house rhythm, leading into a steady sub-bass line, warm chords, and an emotive male vocal hook. Synth arpeggiations enter the sound space to take things even further into late night territory. Flip the digital wax for "Music Showed Me Love," a chunkier take on Col's sound with processed, tribal percussion accenting the beats. Squelchy pads, stereo-panned effects, and a cosmic vocal line spread an unmistakable underground warehouse vibe. Sweet electric piano riffs and spoken sections accent the dancefloor focus. Both cuts are more than ready for repeated spins!
