We proudly announce that the Dallas dynamo, the Texan Titan Demarkus Lewis is finally making a welcome return to Artizan Music this Summer. Although the D-man hooked up with Poussez’s Maxime Cescau for a collaboration on ‘Tussy Pickler’ (ARTMD009), we’ve actually been hounding our good friend to get his lanky ass back in the studio since his brilliant Artizan debut (ARTMD007) back in 2009!! (yes three years is a lot of nagging)..

Well fear not, the results are well worth the wait! Blending that trademark Demarkus tracky groove and percussive chi-town beats, with gorgeous filtered vocals not a million miles from classic Dj Sneak sounds, all the while giving a decent head nod to more modern, stripped-back European Deep House. It’s Absolute class and we’ll tease you with a sneak preview soon!

That drops later this year with remixes from Poussez…and perhaps you!!? Yes, we are going to be running a remix competition so watch this space..

TASTER? CLICK HERE FOR POUSSEZ’S FABRIC MIX!

Italo-American production duo Mateo & Matos are, no two ways about it, legends.  Their lush deep house has, over the years, appeared on a veritable cornucopia of the World’s most respected record labels: Glasgow Underground, Nite Grooves, Henry Street, Distant Music, Spiritual Life,  4th Floor, Nervous, Large Music, Seamless, Prog City, West End Records, TNT…you get the picture!

So its with a wide-mouthed grin that we proudly recall the day they emailed this office requesting our very own Poussez for a remix. Eddie Matos so loved Poussez’s Discuits, that they wanted Jafar & Maxime to reinterpret the latest Mateo & Matos ‘Hypnotized’ release.

The Poussez remix rounds off a stellar package including an ace re-rub by Anton Zap.
