Close – My Way feat. Joe Dukie (+ Dusky Remix)

Posted on May 20, 2013 in Deep House, House, Remixes

Last month, we posted a single from Close (aka Will Saul), which quickly shot up the music charts, along with bass-driven, disco-dipped remixes from the likes of Scuba and George FitzGerald. This month brings about another single from Close’s debut album Getting Closer, called “My Way” featuring vocalist Joe Dukie. The single is filled with just the most subtle shades of disco, albeit much slower in tempo and more minimal than its predecessor, which serves to put focus on Dukie’s silky vocals.

BBC Radio 1 personality B. Traits premiered Dusky’s interpretation of the song last Friday on her show, which fashioned what was originally a slow song into a deeper, dancier tune. The duo make the song more fluid with ethereal, airy synths that float so effortlessly while connecting one lyric to the next, and implement their signature bass-line. On his decision to have Dusky remix this single, Saul says it was natural: with the two having also released on Saul’s Aus Music label, he knew that these guys were at the top of their game. I think we can all agree that getting Dusky to rework any song is a no-brainer.

The My Way EP on which this song is featured will also come with remixes from Tanner Ross and fellow Aus Music artist Midland; it is expected to release on June 24th on !K7. Meanwhile, look out for Close’s debut album, out June 11th on the same label.
