Alliwant label boss James Cole is one of Hungary’s most respected and multi-talented figures, with releases on 8Bit, Moan, Deeperfect, Gruuv, HedZup, and many more. Following a spate of successful singles, James touches down on George Smeddles’ South Records imprint with an emphatic label debut spanning two groove-focused dancefloor jams across his ‘Big Money’ EP.

 

Kicking things off with the title cut, ‘Big Money’ comes in hot with punchy grooves, swinging percussion, resonant organ lines and a head-turning vocal element throughout. Following in the footsteps of some of James’ other recent releases, this one emphasises movement in the mix and a creative arrangement that will keep you hooked from start to finish.

 

‘More Money’ caps off the release, taking a more profound approach from the outset. Building around rolling melodies and atmospheric filters, the track’s combination of subtly chugging rhythms and endless layers of harmony carve out the perfect late-night vibe-builder, full of soul and personality.
