Latenight Society from Orlando, Florida join Lost My Dog for the label’s first vinyl release in four months. The duo of Romano Arcaini and Jason Leva deliver a deep and driving house cut with an instantly infectious groove, monstrous bottom end and a sultry female vocal urging “make you wanna do right”. A very tasty remix package comes courtesy of Marko Militano, Pete Dafeet, Artie Flexs and Sean Smith.
Latenight Society’s music can be found on labels such as Nordic Trax, Eight Trax, Amenti and their own Tight Recordings. Included in their impressive discography are collaborations with the likes of Diz, Hector Moralez and Ken ECB.
Marko Militano, also known as one half of Trademarq and co-founder of the Bananza Music imprint, is one of the most hotly tipped future stars of the underground house world. His music, both solo projects and as Trademarq, have been released on some of the world’s most respected house labels including Derrick Carter and Luke Solomon’s Classic Music, Fred Everything’s Lazy Days and Justin Long’s .dotbleep. Always bringing musical elements productions, Marko once again hits the bullseye with a stunning rework of ‘Do It Right’.
Lost My Dog co-owner Pete Dafeet is currently enjoying a hot streak with original EPs recently released on Artizan Music, Ornate and his other side project Southside Shuffle, while his remix of Jake Island for Toolroom Records continues to take the plaudits.
Artie Flexs is Lost My Dog’s latest discovery. Hailing from Riga in Latvia, Artie caught the label’s attention with a simple emailed demo. LMD quickly snapped up two EPs, the first of which ‘Disco Space EP’ was released in September and also caught the attention of Mixmag who duly awarded it ‘House Tune Of The Month’. With his second offering ‘Damaged EP’ due imminently, Artie is certainly a name to keep a close eye on.
And from the brand new to the…more established! Sean Smith is an artist that has really impressed Lost My Dog recently thanks to his productions and record label. As one of Chicago’s top rated DJs and producers, he has released music on labels including Soma, Classic and Loveslap, performed with legends Mike Dearborn, Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk, Armando, Ron Carroll and Derrick Carter, and runs the excellent Smooth Agent record label.
Magazine Reviews
5 Mag, Chicago
Classic House sound from Orlando via the UK’s Lost My Dog imprint with a stopover in Chicago along the way. “Do It Right” features a muted vocal and the original mix is a groovy organ-driven number. Label boss Pete Dafeet funks up the mix while Chicago’s Sean Smith makes a remix appearance with an uptempo stomper that really and truly is my favorite mix in a solid five edit bundle. He has the “less is more” credo down pat with just some simple keys that make this work.
