Dateless – Shoes On EP (inc. Bontan Remix) [Hottrax]

Toolroom’s Dateless joins up with Jamie Jones’ Hottrax this November with three upbeat cuts entitled ‘Shoes On EP’ including a remix from Hot Creations’ Bontan.

In recent years Dateless has steadily emerged onto the house music scene with sought-after releases on Food Music, Dirtybird, Riva Starr’s Snatch! and many more. He’s garnered support from the likes of BBC Radio 1 DJs Danny Howard and Annie Nightingale, as well as appearing on line-ups with Green Velvet, Claude VonStroke and Shiba San. He now joins the Hottrax family with his ‘Shoes On EP’ following the likes of Kevin Knapp, Patrick Topping, Waze & Odyssey and label boss Jamie Jones. UK based artist Bontan puts his signature sound to an engaging remix after previous outings on Crosstown Rebels and Circus Recordings.

‘Shoes On Please’ provides dashing kick drums with fluid basslines bouncing off layered elegantly with an attractive vocal line undulating throughout. Bontan’s remix of ‘Shoes On Please’ offers delightful atmospheres with emotive synth melodies, fluid percussion and enchanting breakdowns. ‘Who Are We’ then finishes things off with playful, tribal drums balanced with dazzling rhythmic stabs and euphonious flutters.
