Track List
Berlin-based Australian musician and producer Declan McDermott steps forward with his debut EP for Delusions Of Grandeur, bringing a raw yet soulful sound that reflects his unique journey through disco, funk, and soul music. Having cut his teeth as a multi-instrumentalist before delving deep into house and club culture, Declan naturally fuses his live musical talents with warm, analog-driven grooves. The result is a record that feels equally at home on the dance floor and in the living room, carrying both emotional depth and undeniable energy.
Doin It All 4 U sees Declan laying down a soulful, funky house jam and getting busy on the vocoder to great effect! With a bubbling live bassline, shimmering Rhodes, and crisp, crunchy drums, the track radiates warmth while maintaining a driving dance-floor sensibility.
Dutch house and disco heavyweight Tom Trago steps up for the first remix, transforming the original into a bass-heavy, club-ready edit. With his trademark groove and deep knowledge of house music’s roots, Trago reshapes the track into a peak-time weapon, pushing Declan’s soulful original straight onto the floor with tough low-end pressure and hypnotic flow.
New York-based artist Lovetempo, known for blending funk, soul and electronic textures into his productions, delivers the second remix. With rolling 808 drums and lush layers of moog synths, Lovetempo injects a heavy boogie sensibility into the track, reimagining it as a cosmic, groove-laden journey. His version adds a playful, analog richness that pays homage to disco and electro while carving its own forward-thinking space.
The EP closes with Dani, a deep and rolling jazzy house number featuring Luxonous (aka Omri Abramov) on soprano saxophone and EWI (electronic wind instrument). Built on a bed of liquid grooves and subtle atmospheres, the track conjures the spirit of Frederick Galliano and St Germain, weaving acoustic and electronic textures into a sophisticated whole. Both meditative and dynamic, it’s a fitting finale that underlines Declan’s range and sensitivity as a producer.

生のベースライン、フェンダーローズ、ヴォコーダー、ドラム、パーカションなどライブ感、アナログ感のあるサウンド、ファルセットなヴォーカルがダンスフォらにマジックをもたらすようなハウスサウンド。A2は、アムステルダムのTOM TRAGOのリミックス、スモーキーでエモーショナル、フェンダーローズのフレーズ、エレクトロニック、ファンクのポジテォヴでマジカルなパワーがある。B1は、The Rapture(DFA)やPoolsideに参加していたNYCのMattie Saferのニューバンド、Razor-N-Tape Reserve等からリリースしているLovetempo。B2のもうひとつのオリジナルも素晴らしくLuxonousことOmri Abramovというサックス、EWI(サックスの要素を取り入れたシンセサイザー)奏者をフィーチャリング。ミュージシャンシップのある、たのしみなアーチストたちです。 (サイトウ)
