DJ FM - Halo

North Carolina's DJ FM has been a part of the southeast US dance music scene for over 15 years. Not only has he DJ-ed from Baltimore to Burning Man, as a musician he's performed his original electronic music with a live band and always incorporates live instruments into his DJ sets. Here, the production veteran delivers the goods with live bass, guitar and keys, blended to maximum effect in this superb deep house outing topped by the sublime vocals of Miss Julia Vo.

Dissident Music founder Noel Sanger enters the fray with a clubbier touch, his deep, progressive and techno-inflected signature house sound equally at home poolside or in the dark recesses of the most underground clubs. A vocal and dub version are included, and will find plays well after the last rays of summer have faded.
