I've been jamming this track every since its release early this month. With such a familiar R&B melody, soul-dropping bass, and (my favorite) ever pleasant sound of a fervent woodblock, "My Friends" will get your heart racing -- in a "must-find-ample-area-to-drop-thy-booty-like-it's-hot" sort of way.
The elements behind DEVolution are a winning combination: Pete Devereux, who helped define the UK garage scene as one-half mastermind behind
Artful Dodger, has since since moved on, joining fellow Southampton-based producer Tom Devos in this bumping R&B influenced endeavor.
DEVolution's
Arrival EP is a classic three-track affair aimed squarely at the dance floor. Available on
Black Butter Records, "My Friends" may be the infectious standout track, but "
Listen To the Badman" is a maddeningly delicious deep house tune and "
If You Believe" rounds out the package with an insane amount of style and classic house grace, adding just the right amount of bass to make it that much more sexy.
I can't say enough about this release, so do yourself a favor and check it out. You can thank me later for the DEVolution introduction, and I'll be thanking them for providing a restless winter elixir.
