without Artwork Cover - only STANDARD COVER (see Picture)...ltd Warehouse / Backstock - The Midnite ep is the follow up ep to Delano Smith s Sunrise ep on Third Ear Recordings, released at the end of 2008. The Sunrise ep was one of the underground House records of 2009, and the Midnite ep is set to be one of the underground House records of 2010. Both Delano and us think the Midnite ep is better than Sunrise. After the Sunrise ep, we decided to do it again and maintain the theme and name the next ep after a moment, a feeling within the dance floor experience. We decided on Midnite. Once again we have selected four tracks from a selection that Delano sent us. You can play these tracks at any time of the day or night, and we encourage you to experiment in this way. However, dropping any of these tracks at midnite will ensure that you, your dance floor and all the people in the room will be set up for The Journey. :-) A1: A Special Kind is constructed in the classic style of filtered samples from another record over a fat (really fat as this is a record made in Detroit) kick drum. The samples are from Ashford and Simpson s Stay Free from 1979 on Warner Bros Records. It is a sign of a good dance music producer that s/he can take an already great track and turn it into a dance floor bomb. Delano has done this with A Special Kind. 117bpm. A2: Dee s Gruv is a very deep, very atmospheric groove. A crisp snare, a growling bass, a kick drum of varying intensity though the track framing the vibe, and a subtly modulating chord that goes on forever. Hi-hats and ride cymbal move in and out of the track as it ebbs and flows. This kind of deep, grooving suspension of time is becoming a Delano Smith speciality. 122bpm. B1: The Exploration is Delano working through the same ideas as he explores in Dee s Gruv. Hitting harder and driving faster than Dees Gruv, The Exploration is a continuation of Delano s search for the ultimate Deep House Groove. All students of electronic dance music should check this.
