JOVONN, a living legend who has reigned over the New York underground since the ’90s, has released a new track from the “Royal Oak” line by the long-established label CLONE! Featuring a bouncy bassline and deep, warm keyboard phrases, he delves even deeper into that uniquely New York style, drawing on a career spanning over 35 years.
JOVONN, a legend who continues to be beloved by hardcore deep house fans—whose works have become increasingly hard to find in recent years, prompting him to actively reissue tracks from his own archive—has dropped a new EP! It kicks off with “Panorama” (sample 1), which entwines punchy, bouncy drums with crisp keyboards and bewitches the dance floor with mysterious minor chords, followed by “Road Trip” (sample 2), which gently sways the listener with a combination of warm, repetitive phrases and jazz-inspired keys. The EP is also sprinkled with subtle homages to his hometown of New York throughout.
