Melding house and tech flavors across Naarm’s clubscape is Spincycle, the infamous party run by Bex & Terri. Their inaugural release, ‘Wake Me Up’ joins forces of Crayon pioneer Mark Ambrose & Mieka du Franx.

Built on Ambrose’s bouncy piano-organ stabs and shuffling drums, the programming is attuned by a restrained yet precise character. Chunky percussion, elevates the levels of deep house excellence, rocking like a hefty cradle imbuing an infectious groove. Mieka’s voice slices through, “wake me up” reminding us not to get too hypnotized. Listeners embracing each of these levels will have body and soul rewarded. Be careful as darting dancers will be bouncing off the wall with cheeky smiles when those chords hit speakers.

A deep dive into the collaboration reveals the pair met at a gig in 2016. They connected over their passion of underground music before jumping in the studio. It makes one wonder, as it all gels so smoothly, if Mieka’s scintillating vocals or Ambrose’s playing came first. Either way, it gives reason to the alluring soothing effect of ‘Wake Me Up’.  On the flipside is the Dreaming Dub which turns the original into a floating version with pulsating bassline.

‘Wake Me Up’ is out on February 22.
