July sees Greece’s Alex Dimou team up with vocalist Aquarius Heaven with ‘Swimming Pool’ on Hottrax featuring a remix from Moscow Records founder Archie Hamilton.

Debuting on Elite Records in 2007, Alex Dimou has gone on to release on influential labels like Get Physical, Rebellion, Audiomatique and Kindisch. His deep and sultry house music has received continual support from names like M.A.N.D.Y, Maya Jane Coles and Jamie Jones, with the latter now signing him to Hottrax where Dimou follows appearances by Butane, Christian Burkhardt, Paco Wegmann, and Meat.

Partnering up with Aquarius Heaven, who’s renowned for appearances on labels like Circus Company, Visionquest, Wolf + Lamb and Crosstown Rebels, ‘Swimming Pool’ kicks things off with a mysterious aesthetic utilising a thumping bassline and Heaven’s twisted vocals before the more upbeat ‘Reckoner’ demonstrates an amalgamation of synth blips, shuffled rhythms and distorted vox samples. Finishing things off, London’s Archie Hamilton presents his rework of ‘Swimming Pool’, delivering a modulated low end and resonant atmospherics to conclude the package.
