 Release: Giles Smith pres. Two Armadillos - Butterfly Bee | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Official Press Release: Following on from Mowbray & Sullivan’s essential ‘Tropical Heights’ release, Bristol-based Four:Twenty return with a label debut from Giles Smith and Martin Dawson’s Two Armadillos project. A recent EP for Steve Bug’s Dessous set the stall out for their intricate placing of techno influences on a deep house template, and the ‘Butterfly Bee’ EP only serves to further refine the formula. The title track sees a rolling 4/4 beat providing the base for a simple stab pattern to gradually filter into the mix, before giving way to loose double-bass and sumptuous chords. Meanwhile, the remix is supplied by Andomat 3000 and Jan, who recently released the rather superb ‘L Delay’ on Chilean supremo Luciano’s Cadenza imprint. They condense the original progression into a tight, leisurely groove, with percussion and FX constantly snaking in and out of the mix – the perfect foil to the original mix. Finally, digital exclusive ‘Track 5’ is a skittering piece of warm tech-house reminiscent of Departure Lounge’s finest work on the legendary Paper Recordings. With recent releases seeing heavy rotation from just about everyone in house and techno, Four:Twenty seems the perfect home for Two Armadillos, who also have a follow-up 12” pencilled in for Dessous, as well as material planned for Giles’ new label, Secretsundaze Music.
