About This Release
Over the last 7 years, Wide Angle Recordings has proven itself as an innovative leader in melodic dance music. Although 2015 has been a quiet year for the label, it remains dedicated to its craft and the pursuit of quality electronic music with heart. For the 49th release, Wide Angle Recordings presents Dustin Nantais, a Canadian artist who embodies that sentiment and ushers in a renewed energy for the label with this stunning 2-track single.
The title track, Marching Through The Universe, is a versatile heavy-weight with its monstrous kick and driving plucked bassline. It sounds equally at home on a sun-filled afternoon as it does at 3am in the club. The airy textures and percussion offer a perfect counter-balance to the track’s low end while the floating piano adds a sense of familiarity and charm. Marching Through The Universe has already found its way into the sets of Lee Burridge, Hernan Cattaneo, Hoj and Miss Melera – and that’s only the beginning.
Dustin Nantais showcases a deeper side with Hearts & Minds, the single’s b-side. This stripped-back creeper slowly draws you in with layers of hypnotizing effects, percussion and synth work. The track culminates with a building melody that cuts its way through the those layers and pulls you out to the other side. Hearts & Minds is a unique secret weapon for those late night sets.
