Athlete Whipper - Dreams Of Being Alone

Part Of: Talk About This Love EP Catalog: HOD033 Release Date: Buy Link: House of Disco Records SoundCloud | Beatport | Release Text: Athlete Whippet are renowned for cleverly fusing different musical influences into timeless contemporary jams. Spread across Berlin and London, they’ve become an integral part of both cities’ scenes with releases and remixes for Toy Tonics, Rhythm Section and Kitsuné Musique. They co-run the artist collective and record label Squareglass - an established home for rising talent coming out of South London, with a roster that has included Seb Wildblood, Hidden Spheres, Jitwam, Glenn Astro & Will Saul. Their releases have had reworks from Ross from Friends, Baltra and Max Graef, and following a lockdown season with shows on Balamii, Rinse FM, HÖR and Worldwide FM, the duo ended 2021 with European tour dates alongside Session Victim, Dan Shake, Paula Tape, and COEO. On ‘Talk About This Love’ the London/Berlin duo draw you in with dreamy pads and submerged vocals and a quiet energy that holds you and you just don’t want to let go. Their second original ‘Dreams of Being Alone’ channels that same energy but with a touch more enthusiasm and joy. Skittering and splashy drum programming is offset by the playfulness of marimba-esque synths which plant your feet firmly in the sand of a lonely beach. Austrian maverick, Demuja takes ‘Dreams of Being Alone’ and whips you off that beach and onto the sweaty dancefloor adding a tougher four/four approach with punchy strings to get the floor swinging but keeping the marimba front and centre. London’s Aroop Roy steps in to tackle ‘Talk About This Love’ and as expected, this versatile producer has gone his own way adding keys, baselines and just generally doing something totally new and interesting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Berlin House Music Submit Your Music | Store | Instagram | YouTube | Facebook | SoundCloud |
