Lucky Charmes & Howard D – Pyro EP [October 17 | Ones To Watch Records]

Ever since its inception, Laidback Luke‘s Ones To Watch Records (a subsidiary of Mixmash Records) has proven to be a gold mine of young talent. It has introduced us to names like Blasterjaxx, D.O.D., and we’re very hopeful that we will become familiar with many more artists through this label. Lucky Charmes is back with his second collaborative EP on OTW, this time working together with fellow Amsterdam native, Howard D, on the three track “Pyro EP”. The EP also features vocalist Lynn Olsen on the title track, “Pyro,” while “PARTY2NIGHT” is simply an instrumental track.

As outlined above, the EP features three tracks: “PARTY2NIGHT,” and two versions of “Pyro” (dub mix and vocal mix). “PARTY2NIGHT” is a track that will start any party off on the right foot. Its heavy bassline paired with screaming synths separates it as a high-octane banger, meant for play on the biggest of sound systems. “Pyro” begins under the guise of a light progressive house track, but don’t let the vocals or melody fool you. It really features a HUGE big room drop, that will serve as a hidden gem for many DJs throughout the autumn and winter. The dub mix of “Pyro” is quite similar, just lacking the vocals.

I am definitely excited for this release because I see A TON of potential in both Lucky Charmes and Howard D. I’m hoping that this OTW release is just a starting point for their careers, and I wish them all the best going forward. This EP will drop very soon, on September 17 via Beatport. For now, though, turn these tunes up: because they are FIRE!
