Mike Parton and Danny Parton return with four more energising fusions of house and disco on their own label, Jolene Records.
The French duo of Danny and Mike Parton have brought plenty of timeless charm but new school thinking to their music in the last year or so. It has come on their own Jolene Records and has proven irresistible to both DJs and dancers with its subtle references to French touch, disco and funk. Their sounds are smartly sampled and packed with the sort of good-time grooves that never fail to unite the ‘floor.
Mike opens this one with ‘Djazz’, a freewheeling cut with jazzy melodies that bring joy next to a bluesy vocal sample. The drums are big, the claps are packed with swing, and the whole groove is loaded with character. ‘Bissou’ keeps the vibes flowing with more insistent drum loops and vocal stabs that build the tension before a huge moment of release brings dancing keys and explosive reactions.
Then it’s over to Danny for ‘Bames Jlake’, a filter-heavy house affair. It has cooing vocals, smeared melodies and a warm and Balearic feel, as well as a fantastic slow-motion breakdown before the drums land once more. Lastly comes the fantastic ‘Instashit’, which is a vibrant blend of dazzling disco melodies, throwback vocals and funky drum patterns that never quit.
We are presenting ‘Instashit’.
‘Jolene 05’ EP will be available after May 2nd HERE.
