Dan Beaumont – The Trip EP – The Classic Music Company

You can’t fail but to have already noticed the video which has been doing the rounds of this, in which case you’ll already be under The Trip’s spell. However, just in case you haven’t had the pleasure the full release is now imminent. It’s not that often that a record does the sorts of things that this one does. Indeed this genre defying production pulls together all sorts of influences but the one thing that is for certain is once heard, not forgotten. In between the words Acid, House and European Dance is where you’ll find the apt description of this excellent standout (again) release via The Classic Music Company. Next, the man behind London’s Dance Tunnel and Dalston Superstore gets deeper with both the percussion fuelled ’Dan’s Jam’ and the pulsating House rhythms of ‘This Feeling’. Remixes of the title track are already out here with abstract interpretations coming from October, and Justin Robertson’s heavenly Acid infused Deadstock 33s version.
