Midnight Workouts is an electronic duo formed by producer Jay Saccone and vocalist George O’Neill and together they hope to make moving music that is powerful and groove driven. For their first release on this new label Mite Music, they do just that, with one stunning new single as well as two brilliant remixes from Jay Saccone in solo form as well as Meindel.
That single is a rare treat in the modern world in that it has some proper vocals with real lyrical content. Around those breezy, heartfelt and beauty words are some lush chords, real progressions and involving beats that make you want to move your feet. It is a real stunner of a tune that will warm you right though. The single then comes with four remixes, two of which are dubs that remove the vocals and turn the tracks into rolling, rich instrumentals. The other two are quite different. Meindel goes for a more cosmic version with colourful melodies right up high and Saccone is in solo mode for the other, which is stripped back, bouncy and perfectly paced. In all this is a great EP that starts off what is sure to be an exciting new label.
