Alan Fitzpatrick & Lawrence Hart – Warning Signs [Anjunadeep]
Anjunadeep welcomes Alan Fitzpatrick to the fray for his debut release on the soul-brimming imprint. In a collaborative effort with Lawrence Hart, whom lands with his first vocal outing since ‘Call It Love’, the massive 2015 collaboration with George FitzGerald, ‘Warning Signs’ is the pair’s debut with the label and is a twisting house menagerie with dazzling and thought-provoking sound design. The arrangement rises with groove-stricken drum programming and interweaving atmospheric details, sub-atomic bassline stabs walk hauntingly beneath the composition’s main body.
Every element fluently communicating with its counterpart is what makes this track truly special, appearing to breathe and fluctuate as the melody opens up alongside a flurry of hi-hats and hypnotic vocal hooks. Moonlit arpeggiators will carry the record into a crescendo of paradisiacal strings and warping low-end frequencies, the pair have cultivated the perfect antidote to a year without clubland as we wish our progression back to normal life can be as starry-eyed as this arrangement.
