Simon Doty feat. Oliver Wickham - Dear Ben

Release Date: 30th October 2020

----

Since his Anjunadeep debut on 2019’s Anjunadeep Explorations 11 with ’Sama', Simon Doty has developed a reputation for delectable deep melodic house. Following his recent 'Sonoma / Luna’ and ‘Airtight EP’ which saw support from the likes of Joris Voorn, Lane 8, and Edu Imbernon, Simon Doty returns with his ‘Dear Ben EP’ an emotional homage to his late friend and manager Ben.

Title track ‘Dear Ben’ opens the EP, with Oliver Wickham’s vocals lending themselves to the melancholic but touching arrangement of arps and soft progressions. Vocalist Liu Bei features on ‘Open Air’, a darker cut brimming with intensity which 'Rave Generator’ then takes a step further. Finally, closer ‘Uno’ provides a grounding release, ending in warm array of arpeggios.

Out here
All your friends are making statements
Like the concrete in the pavement
Held my feet and kept me up

The distance
Was never something you would run from
Always ready for the next one
The constant pushing me on

Fight this
The constant feeling I could miss it
And take the moment that escaped us
And close the door and lock it up

Faced us
I thought the day would never make us
Just barely got a taste and
I had to face the setting sun
