Transport Recordings presents the latest heavy-weight nightclub stomper from Vincent Kwok, the prolific DJ producer based in San Francisco (via Perth, Australia) who is also proprietor of Eight-Fifteen Recordings and partner in New Mondo with Transport’s DJ MFR. “Aura” is indeed a scintillating house music track, vibrating and pulsing with dance floor energy as its layer of melodic synth pads build over a solid four-on-the-floor groove. This is peak time business, blending elements of San Francisco deep house flavors with a more global house music feel … a classic example of the Transport modus operandi. Vincent’s own It Goes Around Mix goes for a more subdued, bass-led feel with hypnotic arpeggiations and the chords truncated to punchy stabs. It’s certainly the flip side to the original “Aura,” and equally effective in late night dance floor affairs. Here’s another winner from Transport Recordings and Vincent Kwok.
