Hot house to kick off the summer
D’Julz 'Foxxy' EP (Robsoul)
D’Julz debut single for the Robsoul label, ‘Ze Box’, was released back in 2014 but is still one of its strongest releases to date. Now, the Parisian producer has turned in another strong release for the label with his new ‘Foxxy’ EP. ‘Ze Fox’ is a late-night banger with a syncopated bassline, waka waka guitars, 80s claps, busy filters and cheeky vocal snips; it’s easy to see why it’s found favour with Eats Everything, Catz ‘N Dogz, The Revenge and more. ‘Big Kid’ is squarely aimed at making you feel just like one, with its tight disco loop, warm pads and sunny vibe, while ‘Next’ has juddering beats and jaggy snares that give way to soaring strings.
