Debut Transmission: Michel De Hey - Feverish

debut_micheldehey

After recently giving his influential HEY! Records label a big ole reboot and change of direction musically, Dutch boss man and long time dance artist Michel de Hey serves up three killer new cuts.

Changing up from the previous more trance label, ‘Basic Eggs’ EP is the latest in a slew of new releases that the label has in the pipeline. Each top track from it has been road tested around Europe and has been proven to work, with the title track making it onto the official Extrema Festival mix CD. This is de Hey’s first material of the year but comes on the heels of a widely lauded release on Joris Voorn’s Rejected late in 2015. Versatile from front to back and with support from Carl Cox, Huxley and Laurent Garnier, it is a modern classic in the making.

Our debut transmission this morning, ‘Feverish’ drops into a more silky, low slung groove. It is romantic and heartfelt with warm pads and gentle beats caressing you with its coy sense of funk. Tight drums and clean chords add to the lushness and will mean you are truly carried away.

All three cuts here are functional yet fun, and suggest that Michel de Hey is in a fine run of form ahead of lots more to come.

Grahame Farmer’s love affair with electronic music goes back to the mid-90s when he first began to venture into the UK’s beloved rave culture, finding himself interlaced with some of the country’s most seminal club spaces. A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
