Various Artists - Dance 2017 Pt. 3

The 3rd edition of the Dance 2017 series is a double A side featuring a track from the highly regarded Palms Trax and also the debut production from Secretsundaze aka Giles Smith & James Priestley.

It's hard to believe Palms Trax has only been about since 2013. In just 4 years he has carved out a formidable reputation as a both a producer and as a DJ. Having released just 2 EPs a piece across the Lobster Theremin and Dekmantel it's quite a coup that he has contributed a track to the Dance 2017 series.

‘Outflight' perfectly rides the line of cheeky trance euphoria with house sensibilities, aimed straight at the modern dance floor, clearly demonstrating one of the scene's most respected producers at the peak of his game.

On the AA Secretsundaze step up with their very first production as a duo. Both Giles and James have a catalogue of production work already, Giles as Two Armadillos with the sadly departed Martin Dawson and James alongside partners Marco Antonio Spaventi and Dan Berkson.

'Motorway Jam' is a peak time, Detroit inspired burner with a rough analogue bassline and atmospheric detail on the top end. Keep your eyes peeled for more music from the London pair coming soon.

As the name suggests, Dance 2017 is here for one purpose and these tracks are guaranteed to make you move!
