Clemente, Yamil 'Darkest Nights' on Essential Part

A new collaboration has emerged in the shape of "Darkest Nights," and it finds Clemente and Yamil joined in a melting pot of rich melodic house. Wrapped in a soulful atmosphere that tips over into the dancefloor, it comes with a remix from andhim that takes the energy in the opposite direction, pulling on dubby echoes and a stripped-back pulse. The release arrives on Essential Part and carries the heat of the high season with it, as summer nights stretch out across the islands.

"Every time Yamil and Clemente work together, a chemistry emerges that is difficult to manufacture. Darkest Nights proves it once again. Difficult to categorize and even harder to compare, the track finds its identity in a very particular combination of sensuality, warmth and precision. For Essential Part, this release marks Clemente's debut on the label and the return of Yamil, who already left his mark with his previous appearance."

The drums run through the original like a current, with crowded percussion and a groove that keeps its head down while the atmosphere does the heavy lifting. It is modest in level, the peaks a long way clear, plenty of light up top. Andhim's remix digs into a different kind of headspace, letting the vocals drift over a spacious bed of sound as the groove tightens up and the bass holds the floor down.
