UPFRONTBEATS

Dennis Cruz’s next EP is coming out on the acclaimed Time Has Changed label. Featuring three hot new tracks it is the latest in a long line of influential tunes from the Beatport chart topper.

Spanish origin Cruz turns out many hits on a regular basis from his 2 story studio in Madrid and this summer is a regular resident for Solid Grooves VistaClub Privilege in Ibiza, as well as many other places round the world including South America. One of the cuts here, No Critic, has already been heavily road tested and people have been asking after its release for weeks. Well now it’s here’

That track goes first and is a booty shaking deep house monster with prying drums, moody atmospheres and dark spoken word vocals. Circling drones pan up through the mix and add real tension to the essential groove and ensure that when dropped, the floors go wild. Microphones is then even deeper and headier, with warm and humid vibes and rolling drums making for a marching beat that will have backrooms and basements locked in as one. Some sparse synth work and distant clatter of percussion grow ever more bold and keep the drama levels high. Lastly, Caminante No Hay Camino is more playful and upbeat, with bouncy tribal drums and more spoken word vocals casting a real spell on the dance floor.

This is another surefire winner for both label and artist and confirms that few are as on point as Dennis Cruz right now.
