Shakes On

Harkin & Raney // Throne Of Blood
Format // 12"
New York's dream team return with a three tracker of floor-friendly deep house and techno. Mr Saturday Night himself Eamon Harkin and Steve "OneAuff" Raney have been relatively quiet since the release of their "Word To The WIse" EP last Summer, but they have been busy. In the few months since Harkin & Raney released their mix of Corinne for On The Prowl/Scion AV, they have been hard at work in the studio, mixing with Nick Chacona (Mood Music/Wurst Music Company), DJing, and working on solo projects coming soon on Throne of Blood! "Workin and Steamin" sets the vibe right, combining haunting vocals with a chugging deep house groove. Building onwards, "Shakes On" is a melodic and moody bit of NYC house that proves once and for all why these two are destined for classic status. Rounding things out is a dark and driving dancefloor reinterpretation of "Shakes On" by Glasgow's Naum Gabo (JG Wilkes of Optimo fame and James Savage). Their version is faithful to the original, yet it twists the vibe into a moody, motorik techno groove sure to fill the dancefloor. Keep an eye out for OneAuff's solo debut on Throne of Blood coming in October 2011 with remixes from Nick Chacona and Tuff City Kids. Eamon Harkin's solo debut is coming in 2012!
