Jolene Records, developed by producer siblings Danny and Mike Parton, seeks to draw its inspiration from 90s house, French touch, disco and funk – with a modern twist – and the new imprint is set to release its first EP on 11 October.
Jolene 01 features two tracks from Mike Parton, Discofloor, described as a ‘full flavour cut with lots of lush loops from the bassline to the sugary synths’, and Tounu, a more Afro-tinged track. Danny Parton also contributes two tracks, the soulful Someone and closing track Champagne.
According to a press release to accompany the new label, the pair’s ‘modern and sophisticated tracks electrify dance floors and have done so for many years on a string of respected labels. Passionate about sampling, they transform musical influences into unique creations. For them, music is a celebration, and this vision led them to establish Jolene Records to share their passion for sound and rhythm.’
Danny Parton/Mike Parton’s Jolene 01 is released on vinyl and digital on Jolene Records on 11 October. More information can be found here: www.instagram.com/jolenerecords/
