Middle - Shapes EP

Middle dropped a new free EP a little over a week ago, and we happened to stumble across it just a little late.  Following up on their success with Girl, which has racked up 50k plays on Soundcloud, the Shapes EP retains much of the Garage/Deep House vibe that seems to be becoming Middle's signature sound. Our favourite track from the EP is What You Did, which is very reminiscent to Girl - vocals that at times are included in full, and at other times chopped to add to the percussive elements, all surrounded by the recognizable synths. If you're looking for an artist comparison, I would say Middle is producing a sound reminiscent of NVOY.

The other two tracks on the EP are also definitely worth checking out - Give is a slightly more laid back track, while Take Off moves a bit to the heavier side, but both remaining with the same deep house and garage sound, keeping the EP quite consistent throughout.

Keep an eye on this French duo, as there is likely more quality work coming down in the future. Follow their Soundcloud here.

NVOY - Girl

Annie Mac dropped this as her freebie feature last Monday, and we're happy to be seeing NVOY get some love on her Free Music Monday series. We've featured some of NVOY's previous work on the blog, and this new one is very much in line with their signature production style of house music.

While Girl may sound like some of the London duo's previous work, this one seems to have much more focus drawn to the synths than a bass heavy percussion arrangement or full on bassline - though overall NVOY vibe still remains. The production here just goes to show that house music doesn't necessarily have to follow the same formula of heavy kicks and basslines to still be great, energetic summer house music.

As the name of Annie Mac's series would imply, this is available as a free download, and you don't even have to follow or like anything - just hit the download button in the top right corner of the embedded player to grab your copy of NVOY's Girl.

NVOY - Going On

London deep house duo NVOY have done it again, putting out a fresh deep house track with their signature production style - deep synths with just the right percussion elements to still make the track bounce and slide simultaneously. This one was upped by XLR8R and is available for free download direct from their website.  Just hit the shopping cart icon in the player below to go to their post and pick it up.  This one has been out for about two weeks now, but it's the kind of track that will still be fresh for some time.
