Toronto-based producer Nautiluss returns for the third release of Mr. Beatnick’s label, Mythstery records, this time under new alias Pyramid Lake. The veteran producer’s new Palms on Fire EP offers 3 club-ready workouts along with a bonus remix by head honcho Beatnick himself.

Opening with the title track, “Palms on Fire” hits hard from the first bar with heavy kicks and distorted hats. Rolling hand percussion and an ominous, “oh no,” vocal cut give the track an almost techno sensibility, while the rounded bass synth and soft melodic lead keep the overall vibe unmistakably deep house. Big man Beatnick flips the track himself on the b-side, switching up the foundation with some vintage drum machines and a fat 303 bassline. The result is a classic old school sound that’s sure to resonate on modern dancefloors.

“Ital Vital” stays in theme by constructing the groove around some dubbed-out industrial percussion. Pyramid Lake keeps listeners unsettled by moving between a darker, polyrhythmic bass line and a floating major-key melody. Tension builds through repetition, and by the track’s midway mark it all begins to seem endless.

Rounding out the EP, Quarion remixes “Cease and Desist” with a thick arpeggiated bassline and paradise pads that are sure to offer the dancefloor some relief after the EP’s preceding heat. Altogether, Palms on Fire is a high-production effort with a lot of umph that has us at Bolting Bits excited to see what else is in store from this new alias Pyramid Lake.

Since launching our premieres section on Bolting Bits, we have done our best to relentlessly share with you some of the best underground dance music from around the world. It has required a lot of blood, sweat, and sleepless nights, but we would not change it one bit. For those that have been with us since the beginning, you might remember that our first premiere ever was of UK producer Franc Spangler, better known as Jimpster.

Now, several premieres later, things have come full circle. Once again, Jimpster will mark another huge milestone for us, giving us his latest original, Lightshine, to put us at 300 premieres that we’ve shared with you to date. Coming out on Suol on June 8th, this track will be accompanied by tunes from Till Von Sein, Quarion, Zepherin Saint, and Chopstick & Johnjon – rounding out Part. 2 of the Hallo Montag compilation series. The compilations are extensions of the weekly Monday open air parties (Hello Monday!) hosted by Suol where a multitude of guest DJs play their sunniest tunes in the fresh air.

Lightshine, the standout for us from this compilation has that signature bouncing bass from Jimpster which particularly reminds us of his standout tune English Rose. Lush pads fill the air while some congas flutter about until a sampled “Hey!” and dissonant jazzy rhodes signal that it’s time to transition into the meat and potatoes. The groove on this is straight out of Jimpster’s recipe book, meaning dancefloor-ready heat. As always, he manages to incorporate some fantastic melodic pads and even a flute-like solo that really carry the composition and give it a sense of a continuous development, more like a short journey than just another track. Serious summer heat perfect for those open air parties, certified.
