July: 15 house releases you need to hear this month
Let there be house!
Paris Green 'You Got To Try' (Rebellion)
Paris Green is the unlikely collaboration between DJ/producer Mitchel Kelly and jazz musician Thijs Bastiaans. ‘You Got To Try’, which is being released on Crosstown Rebels’ sister label Rebellion, was discovered and supported by Kölsch on his Radio 1 residency. Fathoms deep and featuring the forlorn vocals from David Stolk, it’s moody, melancholic house that’s then handed to Steve Bug to give us two remixes: the subtle keys and clicking beats of his Sunrise mix complement the original’s beautifu vocal, while his club dub has plinking melodies and clean drums. The release also includes the jazz-tinged house track ‘Ghost’, too.
