On March 13th, ahead of Miami Music Week next month, POPOF’s esteemed label FORM Music is to release a special EP showcasing some of the imprint’s most exciting talent entitled, ‘FORM Miami Sampler 2017’.

Since its formation in 2009, FORM Music has rapidly established itself as one of the most innovative and ambitious Dance labels, working alongside both established and new artists including Julian Jeweil, Sébastien Léger, Animal & Me, Mendo, Philip Bader, Petar Dundov, DJ Fronter, Jay Lumen as well as offerings from the label’s head honcho himself.

Kicking off the five-track release is Audiosense’s ‘No Code’, featuring a gorgeous medley of elegant synths and other serene pad-tones. DJ Raid’s ‘Aural Dimension’ follows, a tougher, darker melodic Techno outing that perfectly leads intoMycron X & Rekorder’s, ‘Border Line’, again intelligently utilising delicate strings to contrast the tougher, bass-heavy elements of the six-minute number.

George Privatti & Aitor Ronda’s ‘Sioux’ sees the EP further intensify as the duo combine a tough Techno groove with an arpeggiated bassline and a ravey piano riff to great effect. Next up, the rolling Tech House number, ‘Give It To Me’, fromSiwell & Vlada Asanin concludes the release, featuring funk-laden vocals layered over a pounding four-to-the-floor rhythm – a perfect way to close this excellent release.

‘FORM Miami Music Sampler 2017’ EP is available via Beatport on 13th March and everywhere else two weeks later.
