This month sees the return of SoSure Music co-founder Hollis Parker to the label with his latest EP ‘Have You’, comprised of two tracks from the New York born, London-based artist. Since his vinyl-only debut on the label in 2015, Hollis has continued to release tracks that pay homage to his roots both in hip hop and house, garnering support from artists such as Larry Heard, DJ Sneak, Charles Webster and Joyce Muniz to name a few.
Building on his repertoire of hip hop-inspired house music, Parker leads with ‘Have You’, a jazzfusion backed foray into deep house that begins melancholy but quickly leads into a summery, string-laden groove with sultry horns and an appropriately soulful vocal cut-up.
‘Got A Way’ follows this up and features floaty pads, a Rhodes riff, and a swinging bassline that come together with a firm tip of the cap to his roots.
It’s out 25 May.
