Betoko & Paul Sawyer - Romulus

Betoko & Paul Sawyer return to the label to deliver another progressive house masterclass. Their last outing back in April of 2020 was received to high acclaim - with huge support from the big boy brigade at the time. With their long-awaited return to the label, the duo delivers a slice of amazing club vibes titled 'Romulus'. Beto & Paul kicks things off nicely with the melancholic moodiness of the original, as deep progressive inspired beats and harmonies are in full swing. The track twists effortlessly throughout, while the tight percussions sit wonderfully on top adding an extra layer of depth. It's all about the groove, cool vibes and the beats that are working their magic around the duo's wonderfully arranged keys, that create an irresistible vibe while taking the mind on a trip. A classy homecoming for Betoko & Paul Sawyer. On remix duty we welcome Swedish producer Abstract Projects who is known for his polished deep melodic progressive sound. He keeps the ethereal theme of the original alive, as the pulsating bass powers along, before its drum fills and general warmth all combine to do the talking. Like something from yesteryear, yet sounding fresh – His touch up takes the energy levels up a notch, but increases the melancholy with stripped back and lucid elements at the same time, before the luscious pads grace the rework changing the vibe and creating a blanket of warmth that wraps around the effected groove. Messier, who has become a ICONYC family mainstay in the last dew years, needs no introduction around these shores, created a rework full of tension from the word go. Messier delivers a trademark progressive-soaked rework with infectious chords, dynamic drums and euphoric breakdown. The stimulated vibe keeps you moving with tinkling sounds thrown in for good measure. We basically have the formula for a bit of a monumental outing. The sparseness is the key here, as this restrained gem works its magic while it plays away, creating a driving glow, creating an air of sophistication. "Essential stuff" With 'Romulus' Betoko & Paul Sawyer really show that they know no boundaries, as this outstanding gem guides you to a full-on stormer of a release that will cause many smiles induced moments! 'Romulus' sees a worldwide release on February 23rd, 2024 via every well-known digital content provider. Not to be missed.
