Curated end-to-end by Radio 1 DJ and respected tastemaker Sarah Story, this latest release on her STORIES imprint is a 4-track Various Artists EP spotlighting some of the most exciting emerging talents in house music. Leading the charge is Easttown – ‘Rock The Disco’: an energetic, rolling, peak-time groover from the Dutch talent already championed by Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati, ANOTR and more. With shows at Circo Loco, ANTS, Music On and past releases on Hot Creations, Easttown delivers another certified heater. Also included is the debut release from UK newcomer Calvit with ‘Make U Move’, alongside Glasgow’s Van Damn, who supplies the high-impact club cut ‘U Got Me Up’. Rounding off the EP is Irish producer Modeā with ‘Again (Forever)’, continuing his momentum following support from Adam Beyer, Joseph Capriati, and Eli Brown.
Following on from his debut LP on the imprint, Leyo makes a welcome return to Cécille with his Circus EP, featuring collaborations with fellow label artist Easttown and vocalist Thierry Ganz. In September of 2023 Dutch artist Leyo stormed onto the scene with his widely beloved Hello LP, a project employing a depth of influences and straddling the lines throughout between soulful electro-pop and funk-infused disco jams, through to more raw house and sun drenched lounge cuts. Here returning with a fresh five- track EP, Leyo predominantly sonically leans into House music in its purest form. Opening the EP is Circus feat. Easttown & Thierry Ganz, laid out across five and a half minutes with organic percussion, bulbous sub bass tones, spares sweeps and looped vocal chants. Hypnotize follows next, laying down classic house tropes with bumpy bass stabs, swinging drums and choppy vocal lines throughout. Opening the B-Side is Visions ,embracing a more Disco House tinged aesthetic with funky guitar lines, delayed vocal murmurs, resonant swells and robust drums. The aptly title Sunrise then offers up a dreamy stripped-back aesthetic with delayed guitar licks, breathy voices and minimalistic percussion. Lastly to conclude the package as a digital bonus cut, Sweat leans back into the peak time with a French touch bass groove, dubbed out brass melodies, filter sweeps and a shuffled rhythm section.
