Brothers Mike and Danny Parton inaugurate new label Jolene Records with a French touch/disco EP.
Danny and Mike Parton draw inspiration from ’90s house, French touch, disco and funk. Their modern and sophisticated tracks electrify dance floors and have done so for many years on a string of respected labels. Passionate about sampling, they transform musical influences into unique creations. For them, music is a celebration, and this vision led them to establish Jolene Records to share their passion for sound and rhythm.
Mike gets this superb first EP underway with warm house gem ‘Discofloor’, a full flavour cut with lots of lush loops from the bassline to the sugary synths and the feel-good vocals. It’s a masterfully arranged track that is always taking you higher. The fantastic ‘Tounu’ has a deep but fat groove with quirky percussive sounds, bright chords and lush string stabs all topped off with a funky house feeling and filtered vocal sample that brings some Afro charm.
Danny’s ‘Someone’ keeps the good times flowing with the soulful synth flourishes and jazzy brass leads, elastic drum loops and brilliantly filtered, shaped and smeared synths that run the whole thing through with heat. Last but not least, this most characterful EP is closed with ‘Champagne’ which layers up cosmic synth motifs, hip-swinging claps and horn loops that all cannot fail to get a dance floor loved up and bouncing.
Danny Parton / Mike Parton’s Jolene 01 comes on vinyl and digital on Jolene Records on October 11th. Pre order here.
