Dale Howard – Alfagarth EP [elrow]

Mid Feburary already and things don’t seem to slow down here, at elrow Music’s HQs, with yet another banger for this carnivalesque month. This time, our partner in crime is UK’s Dale Howard, who delivers this ‘Alfagarth EP‘, a four tracker with two originals and two crushing remixes by Eli Brown and the team formed by Luca Donzelli & Mar-T. The EP opens up with the track naming it, ‘Alfagarth‘, a song with a strong and loose percussion, with wooden touches, a reassuring hip-hopish female vocal and a great set of atmospheric FX, making this a perfect track for any moment on the floor. Then we have ‘Alfagarth (Eli Brown Remix)‘, in which Eli Brown turns the original into a tighter affair, maintaining the steadiness of the vocal line, adding some proper FX trickery and looping treatment for some added dancefloor madness.

After it, we find ‘Turn It Louder‘, a track that starts with a quieter rhythm, but that breaks into full energy turning into a real banger, with a pretty good vocal line that fills the floor with energy and that telephone effect that will drag the attention of the crowd for sure. And finally, closing the EP we have Luca Donzelli and Mar-T’s take of ‘Turn It Louder (Luca Donzelli & Mar-T remix), in which the pair manages to turn the track into a complete different beast, with a much more aggressive dancefloor progression, stronger percussion, taking the vocals into the back of the track, adding some atmosphere and infusing it with a 90s kind of vibe that will draw any crowd mad, specially thanks to that classic sample that will tear up the floor apart. Another round work for elrow Music back catalogue that keeps growing in quality and quantity! See you soon fellas!
