My Friend - My Heart Burns There Too / Solace
The next release in line on Fly Boy Records (imprint of DJ and production duo Icarus) comes from a new UK alias, My Friend. Listen to FLYBOY014 exclusively on Beatport on Friday 23rd February, with a full release due on Friday 9th March.
Born as a true passion project, My Friend hurtled onto the scene when their unsigned, unreleased tracks debuted on Danny Howard’s ‘Future Fire’ as ones to watch in 2018. Drawing inspiration from the juxtaposition of euphoric melodies and a driving depth, their authentic sound blurs the lines of house, techno and progressive.
'My Heart Burns There Too' sets the tone for the alias. A brooding, shimmering intro opens up into a glorious, rumbling low end with delicate arp lines and ethereal vocal stabs throughout, lulling the listener into an rapturous state of mind. This is perfect peak time club material.
'Solace' shows a more delicate side to the artist's production. Light atmospheres and clever use of intertwined melodies weave over a warm bass line and snappy drums. This one is as much for your wind down playlist as it is for your club sets.
