Maxxi Soundsystem & Thrilogy '300 Vows' - Out Now!
As the son of British jazz pioneer Trevor Watts, a career in music really was the only choice for Sam Watts, AKA Maxxi Soundsystem. Over the last few years the Brighton based artist has risen up the ranks to become one of the most sought after performers on the international circuit, clocking up an impressive list of club and festival appearances. In tandem with his DJ career, his club-focused productions have been signed to a number of influential and highly regarded labels including Defected, Hypercolour, Moda Black, Maceo Plex’s Ellum and the mighty Nervous.
On his first single on OM Records, Maxxi joins forces with the enigmatic and mysterious producer Thrilogy; a new Bristol based artist that places an emphasis on darker more mystical elements. Together the two have created a rich, deep house track that speaks to the heart as well as the root. Joining them on the journey via their own remixes taking it even deeper are No Regular Play and Bells and Whistles.
GROOVE ARMADA'S TOP 8 ON BEATPORT
Groove Armada’s Andy Cato and Tom Findlay have hand-crafted the kind of long-standing electronic-music career that most dream of—and many might (metaphorically) kill for. Since the London-based dance duo first surfaced on the scene with 1998’s well-received debut album Northern Star on Tummy Touch, they’ve churned out quality house music year-after-year spanning across seven albums. Their latest six-tracker Love Lights The Underground on OM Records, is yet another slice of classic house heaven from the lads featuring standout selections like “Soho Disco” and “Set Me Free.” Beatport decided that now was the perfect time to settle into their current behind-the-box selection. Here’s what they came back with. - words by Jason Black
