No Art bosses ANOTR open their 2020 schedule with a return to the label as they deliver their ‘Don’t Mind Ya Weight’ EP.

Rising talents within the world of house music, 2019 is a year in which Dutch duo Jesse van der Heijden and Oguzhan Guney, aka ANOTR, soared into the limelight following a string of stand-out releases and appearances at notable institutions including fabric and Printworks (London), Ushuaïa and Privilege (Ibiza), Lost Beach Club (Quito), and their own label nights at The Loft (Amsterdam). Following on from recent material via the likes of ORIGINS RCRDS, Moan, Hottrax, Inermu and Solid Grooves, late-February welcomes a return to their own blossoming No Art imprint as they deliver their latest EP ‘Don’t Mind Ya Weight’, featuring three classy, slinking cuts.

Title track ‘Don’t Mind Ya Weight’ is a bubbling opener guided by funk-fueled guitar licks, rolling drums and sweeping, filtered vocal hooks, whilst ‘Self Love’ harnesses further slick vocal work amongst rumbling sub-bass to offer up a groove-heavy second original. To close, the lively ‘Zima Blue’ rounds out proceedings in style as the duo work sharp, organic percussion licks alongside hazy lead melodies and spiraling synths, shaping up yet another impressive offering from the hotly-tipped pairing.
