One of Chicago’s finest production and DJ talents, and a close Stateside Lobster family member – Garrett David – returns for a studio-focused foray into Chicago’s sonic house music history.

Refraction Volume 2 marks the return of the lauded imprint Residual Recordings. Label owner Titonton Duvante starts it off with a funk laden deep groove. Next up is ace producer Christopher Rau. He flips the filters alongside nectarous chords. On the B side, veteran Jeff Samuel brings on the quirky sounds and hooks he is known for making. Rounding out the EP is a contemplative number by Chicago’s Garrett David.

Garrett David presents his sophomore solo release on the Chicago Gramaphone label. While bouncing deep house and crystaline keys dominate the release, a slow-motion reprise collaboration with Adam Rowe closes out on B2. Tunnels from his debut release on Stripped & Chewed is also revisited for this dancefloor-aimed EP.

Garrett David and Adam Rowe first met 4 years ago working together in the run-down offices of Dust Traxx. Since then they have graduated to roommates and co-workers at Chicago’s Gramaphone Records. With their debut release, the Boys deliver a unique and endearing house sound with a bit of quirk and machine-made flavor. An EP for the selectors, each track demands it’s own place within the night. B Free features their dear friend and vocalist, Shaun J Wright (ex. Hercules & Love Affair).

Chez Damier presents a new compilation of deep house tracks called Purpose By Design, on Balance Music. This is the second part with tracks by Minister Mike, Soy Mustafa, Garrett David and Salah Arnse.
