Premiere: Listen to Denney’s “Hip House” From Forthcoming Jam On It EP on Saved Records

/in /by

Operating from the highest arena of house and techno to fuel clubs and festivals in every continent, Denney is a name synonymous with fast beats, infectious rhythms and squelching bass lines.

Back for 2018 with new EP Jam On It for Nic Fanciulliā€™s Saved Records, Denney will show the fruits of his labour in the form of three fizzing, club friendly tech-house cuts.

“Jam On It” kicks off the EP with an eruption of heady drum programming, retro vocals, drifting 303 melodies and Denneyā€™s unmistakable bass lines, full to the brim with intensely danceable rhythms.

“Hip House” meanwhile is a true club track with a strong ā€˜hands in the airā€™ vibe, fitted with fluttering hi-hats, cow bells and claps, all glued together by earth-shuddering four to the floor kick rhythms.

Denney: “America’s Dance Music Scene Has Caught Up To The UK”

/in , , /by

Ever since arriving onto the underground scene, James Denney, or simply Denney as he is more commonly known, has achieved an impressive number of accolades. Following his massive “Low Frequency” release, which sat at the top of the Beatport charts for over five weeks and received a Ministry Of Sound re-release that broke into the UK Top 100 chart, he was invited to the esteemed Essential Mix decks by Pete Tong in 2016 and toured the world several times over. In 2016 alone he graced the DJ booths of DC-10 and Sankeys in Ibiza, Heart Nightclub in Miami, fabric, Egg and Ministry of Sound in London, Mint Warehouse in Leeds, Flash Factory in NYC, Primary in Chicago, the famous Get Lost in Miami as well as festival appearances at The BPM Festival, Creamfields, Eastern Electrics, ADE and Tomorrowland.

Fresh off heavy stints in the studio earlier this year, JamesĀ has just released an EP on Heidiā€™s Jackathon Jams label featuring dance music legends Derrick Carter and Roger Sanchez, with plenty more music scheduled to come out throughout the year.

In Europe myself, I had the chance to recently talk with JamesĀ about the time he has been spending in the studio this year and his upcoming U.S. tour, as well as his views on the changing musical landscape of both Ibiza and the United States.

I had the pleasure of meeting James in Chicago before, and since ran into him at Get Lost in Miami during Miami Music Week. What immediately surprised me was how approachable, down to earth and friendly he was ā€” qualitiesĀ that were confirmed once more during our chat, and that I never take for granted when dealing with artists that tour heavily under the massive stress that this industry brings.
