Prolific production powerhouse Basti Grub links with celebrated tech house artist Davide Squillace for a new EP that features a guest appearance from Julian Smith and lands on Squillace’s This And That label.

Play Thing is six intriguing minutes of deep grooves and steamy vocals. Fluttering percussion and toms bring an airiness to the track, while freaky synth designs add mischief. It’s a cut that gets deep under your skin while Lets Go Deep has more airy, libidinous vocals layered over minimal drums. It’s an anthemic cut that brings real emotion to the floor and is destined for big things this summer thanks to its hooky lead synth riff.

These are two more terrific tracks from the always avant garde This And That.
