PREMIERE: Georgios Papamanoglou - GR2 (XDB Back To The Roots Mix) [Deep Series]

If you’re into electronic music, chances are, you’re a fan of Kosta Athanassiadis, commonly known as XDB. The veteran DJ and producer has been consistently putting out beautiful music and making dancers move and sway for a long time, with a career in music spanning thirty years. With releases, on Metrolux, his own label, as well as Sistrum Recordings, Dolly, and Echochord, one would be surprised to find out that it wasn’t until 2020 that XDB put out a full-length LP when his genre-defying album “Inspiron” came out on Dial. But taking time to build up and do things properly seems to be Athanassiadis’s M.O., in regards to both releases and DJ sets. And today’s premiered track, a perfect slow-burner for warm-up sets, happens to be no different.

XDB truly goes back to his deep roots in a groovy remix of “GR2", commencing with a hypnotic synth line right at the track’s forefront, eventually taking a step back. Sharp high hats, synth stabs and snare drum rolls work together for the duration of the track to ensure that party attendees will be dancing.

Athanassiadis’s remix comes as part of the “Dark Path” EP, the first release on the Deep Series (a Diaphan Music sub-label) since 2014. The EP will be out on vinyl on March 2, 2022, and will be released digitally on February 28, 2022.
