David Duriez has been producing solid house music for 8 years strong. With his new release on Straylight he brings his own unique sound to the dancefloor. Not being content with the “French sound”, David has ventured into new territory with his latest vision, “West Way”. This deep track features smooth chords, nice building and that classic analog sound; it’s perfect for the dancefloor.

To say the least, DJ Buck has been very busy these days. After taking time out from his hectic DJ schedule, Buck blesses us with an amazing remix of “West Way”. DJ Buck’s Dirty Dub is loaded with thick basslines and a pumping rhythm, wait for the breakdown!!

REVIEWS

French producer David Duriez has been prolific of late, but it hasn’t resulted in him putting out any sub-standard tracks. Here he takes a different approach to his recent release on Freaked; a deep, bass-led groove snakes along before Duriez introduces a trippy 303 riff. DJ Buck’s remix sees the US producer opt for a more stripped down sound, while retaining the acid signatures and the original track’s mid-paced tempo. Expertly constructed club music. 4/5

What a great month for vinyl! Here David serves up a wonderful dish of deepness just the way we like it. A huge, round bass propels this cut, moody keys hang in for the ride, sleigh bells chink in a wintry manner, and abstract vocal samples offset the rhythms. He chucks in a squashy synth too for a veritable feast of electronic textures. Smooth! DJ Buck remixes; the beats are a little stiff but the ridiculously fat bass is a treat. 7.5/8
