Hector Couto – Revolution EP [Do Not Sleep]

Roush boss Hector Couto makes his debut on Do Not Sleep this November, accompanied by a remix from fellow Music On favourite Joey Daniel.

A globally established DJ, producer and label owner in his own right, Tenerife’s Hector Couto is currently at the top of his game, demonstrated through material on labels including D-Floor Music, Sola and Elrow Music in the past 12 months alone. Following yet another stand out summer which included the release of his ‘Tambora’ EP – the 100th release on his Roush Label – plus appearances across Europe and the Americas at the likes of Amnesia (Ibiza), Air (Amsterdam), Brunch In The Park (Barcelona) and the BPM Festival 2018, here we see the Spaniard make his highly anticipated debut appearance on Do Not Sleep armed with three dynamic, up-front cuts, whilst ever-popular Amsterdam talent Joey Daniel steps up on remix duties.

Opening proceedings, title track ‘Revolution’ employs slick, rolling organic percussion patterns alongside warping synths and bright stabs, whilst ‘Teeth Show’ reveals a driving cut packed with menacing bass licks and infectious vocal hooks. Next up, ‘Koro Koro’ utilises a smart balance of weighty kicks and energy-raising snare rolls to raise the tempo further, before Joey Daniel strips back ‘Teeth Show’ to reveal a trademark combination of snaking percussive grooves, re-worked vocal samples and bumping sub-bass to round out the package in fine fashion.
