Londons’ Decay Records release the ‘Golden Gate Sampler 2’ featuring originals works from Michael L Penman and Scott Kemp. Backed up by intense solid remix’s from Igor Vicente and Sascha Dive.

Decay Records has been running since the year 2013, and they are now up to 12 releases, showcasing material from artists like Jay Tripwire, Alex Arnout, Ed Davenport and Franck Roger. This time their are welcoming the talents from Ovum and Mobilee’s two rising stars Michael L Penman and Scott Kemp.

Michael L Penman’s ‘Lazy Boy’ opens up proceedings on a dark and hypnotic tip with dreamy pad lines, modulating bass tones and weighty distorted rhythms. Belgium’s Igor Vicente reworks ‘Lazy Boy’ next and provides a more reduced take on things with sparse percussive elements and menacing atmospheres.

On the flip side Scott Kemp turns in ‘Sirma’, a subtly unfolding groove-led number built around stripped rhythms and soft synth flourishes, while Sascha Dive rounds off the package by reshaping ‘Sirma’ into a brooding, seven-minute mesmeric workout.
