Jay de Lys Brings ‘In Europe’ To Cloonee’s Hellbent Records
Cloonee had both tracks from ‘In Europe’ in his sets before the EP came out on 23rd October. It’s Jay de Lys’ first release on Hellbent Records, and it arrived as the Argentine producer returned to Europe after a run of North American shows.
On the title track, tight percussion and whirring electronics give the groove an insistent pace. The vocal is the detail you pick out straight away. It stays clear over the drums, giving the track a hook that holds up in a longer blend.
‘Way Up’ raises the intensity a little at a time. Clipped samples punctuate the groove as the drums grow busier, giving the second cut a different role in a set. Wade, Ilario Alicante, East End Dubs and SOSA have also supported both tracks.
De Lys spent much of the summer in Ibiza, playing for FLOW, ANTS, Eastenderz, elrow, PIV and Cécille. His North American run took him through Miami, Toronto and Montreal and included his first appearance at CRSSD Festival. Back in Europe, he played Barcelona and Paris before returning to Amsterdam for ADE.
