Because of Art is one of house music’s most impressive new talents. His meticulously well-crafted sounds and journeying DJ sets have won him support from the likes of BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music, with regular spins from key tastemakers. He has dropped stylish melodic EPs on Anjunadeep, a more rave-inspired collaboration with Antony Szmierek and has appeared on this label alongside label boss Sasha back in 2023, all while playing at events across Europe and a recent tour of India. After launching his own ART CLUB label and community project earlier this year, he now makes another step up with his first solo outing on Last Night On Earth.
There is a magnificent lushness to ‘Queens Park’ which rides on buoyant and rubbery drums while smooth, mellifluous synths do a delicate dance and subtle twinkling arps add celestial flair. Wordless vocals are smeared into the mix for a hint of human soul and help add to a perfectly uplifting journey. ‘Work It’ has more direct drive and crisper drums but is still doused in succulent and sophisticated chord work that flows freely and rises ever higher to get hands in the air and heads lost amongst the stars. It’s the sort of progressive gem that will work in both intimate clubs and more vast main rooms with equal impact.
Because of Art’s ‘Queens Park’ comes via Last Night On Earth on June 13th 2025.
