Audiojack return to Crosstown Rebels with new four-track EP, ‘Play With My Mind’

'PLAY WITH MY MIND' HERE

From their early beginnings between Ibiza and their hometown of Leeds to a near twenty-year-long career that has taken them from Space (Ibiza) to Womb (Tokyo), fabric (London) to Zouk (Singapore), UK duo Audiojack have remained and continue to prove themselves as both ever-present dancefloor hit makers, but artists that have helped carry the UK’s evolving house sound. From their initial releases on Leftroom and 2020vision through to their Crosstown Rebels debut in 2016, and then fast-forwarding to recent music on Solid Grooves, Knee Deep In Sound and their own Gruuv imprint, the pair’s unwavering passion for fresh sounds continues to burn bright. Now regulars on Damian Lazarus’ iconic imprint, serving up five EPs, numerous remixes, and their 2021 album ‘Surface Tension’ on the label to date, the end of May welcomes the duo’s latest chapter on Crosstown with their latest EP, ‘Play With My Mind’.

“The tracks were made independently, so there’s no premeditated theme, but we made them all for the dancefloor. We used a classic 90s organ for a nostalgic vibe on ‘Play With My Mind’. On ‘Causal Verve’, we made a feel-good 80s synth boogie track, which we sampled and remixed, turning it into a relentless bass-driven track. ‘Delerium’ emulates the feeling of coming up on the dancefloor, while ‘Connect’ brings a fresh vocal garage vibe.” - Audiojack.

The skippy and vibrant ‘Play With My Mind’ opens the package with an abundance of nostalgia, channelling 90s sonics via the infectious organ melody and hooky vocals at its core, while ‘Casual Verve’ is trippy and loose while delivering a slice of driving funk to the mix. Next, ‘Connect’ provides a vocal-led, garage-dipped cut that keeps the energy levels sizzling before ‘Delirium’ closes the show with a swathe of pure dancefloor ecstasy.
