Deep dive Armandillos: Giles, Martin and Sascha are the perfect Pair!
Folks, Dessous delivers my record of the
week.
Two Armadillos are
Giles Smith and Martin Dawson. Meeting at London’s Phonica records where Martin was
working at the time led to this this blossoming partnership and friendship.
Giles is one of London’s most in demand DJs (also
playing in many of Europe’s hotspots) and has a
deep knowledge of House and Techno. He is also co-resident and promoter of the
legendary secretsundaze summer parties.
After their nice debut an dessous
with tunnel of light last year the London based guys deliver a true house beauty
with “Hamlin”.
Man of the moment
Sascha Dive (Deep Vibes records, Drumpoet) remixes Hamlin and delivers a
stripped down housebeater, right up every House connaisseur´s alley.
Recommendation of the week. Peter Armster
