Today’s premiere is the title track of the duos latest EP “Eliah”. It is a steamy affair with loose drum fills and scattered hits spread out over super deep and sonorous rubber kicks. There is a soul infused, late night romance to the track that is reminiscent of classic Chicago artists like Ron Trent, and the lush pads and cooing vocals only add to that. Perfectly loose and far ranging, it is an effortless, authentic and intoxicating track.
“Eliah” is available 12 January on Deepwave Records
