The fledgling Sense Traxx imprint is set to deliver a new EP from the UK duo South Royston, entitled ‘Work It’ and backed with a remix from Di Chiara Brothers.

The rapidly growing Sense Traxx has come a long way over the past year with number one chart success on Traxsource with Julyan Dubson’s debut single ‘Make A Thing’ and support from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac, Sante and Doorly. Here we see the label push on with some fresh material from Southampton duo South Royston, most notably known for their work with labels such as MadTech, ViVa and Love & Other.

Title cut ‘Work It’ opens and the pair offer up their signature UK House style with shuffled drums, bulbous bass hits and bright chord stabs running with an infectious chopped up diva vocal throughout. ‘Do It Like That’ follows and lays focus on classic house tropes with tension building strings, soaring vocal chimes, tumbling sub bass tones and an amalgamation of stab hits.

Italian duo Di Chiara Brothers remix ‘Work It’ to follow, delivering a more refined take on things with crunch drums, chugging bass and snippets of the original vocal lines before label-head Simon Shaw closes with his take on ‘Do It Like That’, delivering a smoothly developing progressive interpretation fuelled by upfront rhythms and acid tinged leads.

South Royston’s ‘Work It’ is out on Sense Traxx 7th (Traxsource Exclusive) and 21st (General) October 2016.
