For today’s track of the day we have a collaboration from two of my favorite names in the house and tech house space. Last month Denney released ‘Full Circle EP’ for Heidi Presents Jackathon Jams. The new EP’s A-Side is a track called ‘Mr. Big Hat’ that Denney produced with Derrick Carter, one of the pioneers of house music in Chicago and a staple of the scene for over 20 years. ‘Mr. Big Hat’ gives us the perfect combination of Denney's youth and Carter's wealth of experience. The result is a high energy bodyjacking tech house track with a hypnotic bass line and a heavy injection of soul. Very fun tune. Make sure to check out the rest of the EP as well, it's fire![soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/54995081" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]Denney burst onto the scene in 2012 when Hot Creations picked up ‘Ultraviolet’ for the A-Side of their 2012 Paradise Ibiza Sampler. That was his first #1 track and it attracted the support of major players around the world like Pete Tong, MANDY, and Damian Lazarus. Since then Denney has released tracks for a wide range of major industry labels from Ministry of Sound and VIVa LIMITED to Voltaire Music and Toolroom. It is also noteworthy that Denney collaborates on a significant proportion of his work. The 2015 EP ‘Low Frequency’ included hugely popular remixes from Shiba San and Detlef while Denney’s reworking of Booka Shade’s ‘Neon Gods’ (2016) stands out as a heartfelt and emotive piece of music.[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/131969389" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /][soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/262305053" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
