After a crazy bunch of days of co-hosting a night in Amsterdam with Audio Culture, it only felt fitting that we introduce some up and coming Dutch talent today. After the amazing success of Maya Jane Coles on the house scene, it seems like hotly tipped Dutch duo Morning Factory are set to follow in her footsteps. For those trying to pin down where they’ve heard the name Morning Factory before, the name is actually taken from the 1994 song by Chez N Trent, whom we can only imagine are great inspirations to the young duo. In terms of previous output, the duo had an astonishing 2010, releasing two EP’s on Yore Records and another fantastic set of tracks on 20:20. Their production process in 2011 doesn’t seem to be coming to a stop anytime soon either; a release on Pets Recordings, a remix for Reggie Dokes and now a two track release on the always on form Royal Oak can all be added to a now buzzing Discography of raw energy and supreme talent. Why the world hasn’t picked up on them sooner baffles me to no end but their time is most definitely on its way. The tracks below make this a certainty.

Things open on the A-side with the groovy sounds of ‘Fantasy Check’, kicking things off with some bewitching filtered stabs that eventually break out into a delightful set of lavishing piano keys and a bassline that carries the song perfectly without overwhelming the latter. As more sets of keys and melodies get introduced the song reaches a profound peak of euphoria, creating an almost evocative dreamy experience. Everything is so immaculately produced that if anything was removed the song would lose its overall pristine vibe. Things follow suite on the B-side with ‘Diane’s Love’ which opts for a more percussive approach using a famous vocal and another low end bassline to push the track forward. Another higher pitched melody the same as the bassline weaves it’s way in and out of the track using an array of filters and properly cracks from its shell for the last drop. Proper big grooves that will unanimously get everyone moving.

This release has been out for a couple of weeks now and we’ve been wanting to review it for a while but it shamefully got put back due to a couple of busy weeks. However, in our defense, both this release and Morning Factory themselves should be heard and be rinsed by all this summer. Get the release here.
