Danny and Mike Parton draw inspiration from '90s house, French touch, disco, and funk. Their modern and sophisticated tracks electrify dance floors and have done so for many years on a string of respected labels. Passionate about sampling, they transform musical influences into unique creations. Music is a celebration for them, and this vision led them to establish Jolene Records to share their passion for sound and rhythm.

Mike gets this superb first EP underway with warm house gem "Discofloor," a full-flavor cut with lots of lush loops from the bassline to the sugary synths and the feel-good vocals. It's a masterfully arranged track that always takes you higher. The fantastic "Tounu" has a deep but fat groove with quirky percussive sounds, bright chords, and lush string stabs, all topped off with a funky house feeling and filtered vocal sample that brings some Afro charm.

Danny's "Someone" keeps the good times flowing with soulful synth flourishes, jazzy brass leads, elastic drum loops, and brilliantly filtered, shaped, and smeared synths that run the whole thing through with heat. Last but not least, this most characterful EP is closed with "Champagne," which layers up cosmic synth motifs, hip-swinging claps, and horn loops that cannot fail to get a dance floor loved up and bouncing.
