The Do Not Sleep label serves up another big hitting EP, this time from a total house legend in the form of Harry Romero. His big original comes with two remixes from label regular Hector Couto and Italian tunesmith Leon, both of whom have been big draws at Music On in Ibiza this summer.

Do Not Sleep is born from a party of the same name in Ibiza that really shook up the White Isle. The label is doing much the same with essential tunes for DJs and dancers from residents like Darius Syrossian. Next up is the globally acclaimed Romero, who is a linked with the Subliminal label and has been a key part of the New York house sound since the 90s. He has had many hits to this name and this new one is sure to follow in their steps.

Soul Is Another is seven minutes of full fat house with skewed bass stabs, airy hi hats and tight drums that is sure to make people march as one. Big drums and filtered vocals flesh things out and make for a high impact house cut that is fresh and exciting.

Hector Couto is a big part of the Do Not Sleep family. He is a tour resident when the crew hit the road around the world and also takes resident duties in Ibiza in August, playing back to back with Darius. His fine version is more slick and high tempo, with sweeping filters, driving drums and synth stabs all designed to make you get loose.

Then comes a remix from Leon, who is a producer who has kicked out plenty of big house anthems on labels like Desolat and really knows how to make massive dance floors sweat, like he does at Amnesia in Ibiza for Music On. His version is darker and more stripped back, rolling along a fat groove and perfect for more intimate club rooms and basements.

Once again here Do Not Sleep is really serving up the house goods.
