UPFRONTBEATS

Fast approaching their 100th release, Germany’s Moon Harbour has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the years with countless classic releases and rightfully earning a reputation as one the go-to labels for tech-house.

With many of the scene’s key figures including Riva Starr, DJ T, Jey Kermis and Butch featuring this year, it’s no surprise that man of the moment Emanuel Satie is next up with a brand new release of cavernous dance floor groovers to ensure the label see’s in 2017 on a high.

The Frankfurt-born, Berlin-based producer has become a permanent presence in the Beatport tech-house charts, winning best producer at the Ibiza DJ Awards as a result and continues his rich vein of form with three no-nonsense, atmospheric tracks full of the type of feel-good, pulsating grooves we’ve come to know and love him for.

Kicking off with ‘All The Time’, the title track skillfully builds on the sultry, whisper-like vocals from Sergy that, complimented by a warming bassline, creates a deep and mesmerising piece of peak-time club magic. Next up is ‘Cat Fight’, an absorbing groover with a smooth throwback sample that slowly echoes its way alongside some shimmering drum pads into a drop that’s guaranteed to get any club moving.

Whilst the first two operate perfectly for any big-room, hands-up action, final track ‘Future’ is more a slow-burner, with its potent low-end creating a hazy effect further amplified by the hypnotic echo of the vocal.

A well rounded EP, Satie offers an immersive listening experience that’s essential for any tech-house aficionados.
