Tim Healey - DBS 003

Bennun & Healey are Bristol-based sound-smith Colin Bennun and DB Stereo’s DJ Tim Healey. Their debut on DB Stereo is all guns blazing with this astonishing single.

Penned after a lost weekend at Noisily Festival 2017, Lucy is a slab of future/retro acid tech funk, where a hypnotic groove delivers a de-tuned and lazy techno arpeggio to hook in the dance floor. When the time-stretched “Give me acid” vocal is unleashed, the tune slams back into acid mayhem, with a double-time arp resolving into a jaw-droopingly funky psychedelic motif.
Irie Bliss switches up the styles with journey to bassline house central. A jacking garage groove erupts into chopped up vocal harmonies before the killer bass demolishes the party. Urban warriors beware, this genre-busting banger has whipped every event up into a frenzy when Tim drops it in his sets.

On remix duties is techno/tech house maestro Jhothi whose well-crafted beats have been turning heads this year, working with Tod Terry from his studio in Ibiza among others. The chugging deep-tech re-work, with the lushest bass, tightest percussion and moody melancholic atmospheres, makes a strong case for filing this as his best remix to date. Having just joined the DB Stereo family, this is Jhothi's first release on the new label.
