Jonny White's No.19 Music label has had quite a year. Whilst only releasing 6 singles during 2010 the imprint has truly established itself as a hotbed for quality underground dance music, hooking up with the likes of Jimmy Edgar,
Ripperton, Soul Clap and now No Regular Play. It hasn't hurt that White himself has been behind one of the most talked about acts of the year, Art Department, recording alongside friend and production partner Kenny Glasgow,
another No.19 Music stalwart. Add to this the incredible response to the labels other homegrown talent such as Teeloo and Nitin and its clear why No.19 has been on everyone's lips this year. For its latest musical endeavor the
label looks to Brooklyn based duo Greg Paulus and Nick DeBruyn AKA No Regular Play to deliver the superb 'Serious Heat EP'. Paulus and DeBruyn are childhood friends from the streets of Minesota, who both moved to NYC in
the mid noughties to further their musical ambitions. They are best known for their outstanding releases on the uber cool Wolf + Lamb imprint and can be found DJ'ing regularly at the labels infamous parties. The latest No Regular
Play release kicks off with the original version of 'Serious Heat', an incredibly hypnotic yet musical slice of deep slo-mo house that layers tight vocal loops and delay drenched horns to immense effect. This is a record that really
defies genre classification with its futuristic retro sound and heartfelt soul, No Regular Play have really hit the mark here. The second original comes in the form of 'Walkin (Next to Me)', a deep and brooding slab of atmospheric
electronica that rides on a bed of superb sub bass from beginning to end. Again NRP's use of tightly looped vocals and horns create a richly entrancing vibe that is truly unique and keeps you locked into their groove, class stuff. The
first of the two remixes sees Jonny White join forces with Kenny Glasgow for another Art Department excursion. The duo take on 'Serious Heat', stripping things back and rebuilding it into an incredible tapestry of spine tingling
pads, old school drum loops, horns, organ lines and bumpin bass. At the moment people are expecting a lot from Art Department and this remix meets all expectations, simply brilliant. The package closes with fellow Wolf + Lamb
artist and Visionquest man Shaun Reeves taking the reins and reworking 'Walkin (Next to Me)' into the model of his own image. Upping the tempo Reeves creates a driving floorfiller that manages to inject additional energy whilst
not losing any of the soul, the use of the vocals is spot on and all in all he delivers a mix that is a perfect closing opus to this superb package. No Regular Play have turned out a superb single for a label that are truly on the hot list at
the moment, throw in remixes from such in demanded and hyped production outfits as Art Department and Shaun Reeves and you have an undoubted winner……
