Dustin Nantais delivers his latest musical incarnation ‘Hawthorne‘, which has beautiful raspy, melodic synth action, and enough low end rumble to bring down a Trojan wall! At its core, ‘Hawthorne‘ is an emotionally evoking, powerful deep house piece. Once your heart and soul is synched to its calling rhythm, like the lure of the Siren song, your feet will be swept away uncontrollably. He allows you to rest your journey for a brief moment, where his harmonically charged breakdown, laden with a beautiful piano part and long breathy vocal chants, may have you feeling like you have astral traveled to Mt. Olympus.

Aussie based duo Fear of Dawn take their remix of ‘Hawthorne‘ into an exciting and uplifting realm. With their groove fueled drums and sparse percussion parts laying the foundation to illicit dance floor movement, it’s their fat, wide bass line that will continue to force the kinetic flow through your body. Their evolving vocal treatment further enhances the build of momentum that leads to gorgeous crescendos.

David Moran steps up next with his version of ‘Hawthorne‘, and delivers a stripped back, bass heavy House jam, with a hard hitting kick that will have you struggling to catch your breath. With a throbbing low end force to be reckoned with, and best replicated on a big club sound system, his vocal chops, and chord strikes further add to the energy of this beast’s rumble.

Dustin serves up a gorgeous down tempo and ‘techy’ second track to round off his EP. ‘Two Steps Back‘ is a dark, brooding out of body experience ideal for late nights and early mornings in intimate surroundings. This is classic Nantais producing his flavour of moody, atmospheric tech house, where he stretches the audio canvas far and wide, which reflects a spiritual and almost ethereal vibe. Filled with warm eerie synth parts, twisted shots, and a tight bass line that doesn’t let up.
