Jamie Jones invites New York’s Dave Turk to Paradise for ‘Let The Spirits Take Me’, delivering the second EP on the newly-launched label.

Born in Rome and raised in Brooklyn, DJ/producer Dave Turk is an artist with a global array of influences spanning electronic music and beyond, all of which have contributed to his ever-maturing sound. Building on early clubland experiences at Webster Hall and Pacha, his following years and introduction to DJing welcomed sets at NYC staples Cielo and Output while playing for BLKMARKET, Teksupport and The BPM Festival. Having developed his sound palette within the studio across a decade, with releases on Nervous, Howl Records and most recently, Luuk van Dijk’s Dark Side Of The Sun, Turk steps things up as he delivers the sophomore release on Jamie Jones‘ newly minted Paradise imprint with his slick two-track EP ‘Let The Spirits Take Me’.

‘I’m a huge fan of old school 90s house and approached both tracks with similar vibes. ‘Let The Spirits Take Me’ has more of a melodic yet hypnotic touch to it with the melody. As for ‘Angel Eyes’, it focuses more on the vocal, which my good friend Michelle Uziel absolutely finessed it with class.’ – Dave Turk.

Title track ‘Let The Spirits Take Me’ is a production encapsulating the Paradise sound, with hypnotic synths and warped vocal murmurs ebbing and flowing amongst sharp stabs and rolling drums for an engrossing slice of house music made for Terrace’s, while ‘Angel Eyes’ builds on snaking low-end grooves and slinking drums to unleash Michelle Uziel’s captivating vocals for a release of dancefloor serotonin.
