A real pleasure to have collaborated with Focus -FL- on this track as an artist I have huge respect for.

🚨RELEASE DAY🚨

Our very own Mike Bentley drops his second release on the label this time in collaboration with our good friend Focus -FL-

Dawn Mist represents a fantastic coming together of their two sounds and this uplifting deep trance project lands perfectly in time for the summer.

We are also delighted to welcome Ranj Kaler to Critical Elements who has delivered a stunning melodic breaks remix in his signature style.

You can download now exclusively at Beatport (link in comments).

A label debut for me today and one that was a target for me this year.

Delighted to have joined the Affiliate family with a two track EP.

Elemental and Lost in Space are two tracks I’m very proud of and focus on the deep and dubby techno side of my sound.

The release is exclusive to Bandcamp for the first 7 days and all support is greatly appreciated 🙏🙏

On July 18th I have a two track EP landing on the brilliant Affiliate label.

Elemental has a warm early night feel and Lost in Space was aimed at those ‘vortex’ moments when your completely lost in the music. Really looking forward to these being out in the world.

Exclusive to Bandcamp for the first week then available in other stores from July 25th.

Had a brilliant day yesterday playing at Bletchley Goes Balearic for Smile MK.

A pleasure to play alongside Framewerk, Mind Of Us, Lloyd Barwood, Bulldozer - UK, Jota and of course my great friend and Critical Elements partner Marcus Stroud - Critical Elements.

The sun was shining and we played a set of warm progressive and deep house to kick things off.

A nice bonus to meet and chat to a true legend of the progressive scene in Mr Nick Muir!

Earlier this year I was asked to contribute a track to a very cool project called Dub Chef. Artists from different countries produced a track inspired by one of their nation’s cuisines. Representing England it had to be fish and chips!

I wanted to recreate that vibe of walking along the beach at sunset with a portion of chips in hand, the waves lapping up to the shore and the evening sun on your back. Hopefully I achieved that with this project.

Great to feature on this excellent EP alongside such top producers as Francesco Tamburrano, Substak, ZeroA and Atismusic.

It’s out today and exclusively at Beatport on the brilliant Dublucid label (link in comments).

All support is hugely appreciated 🙏🙏
