Seventh Distrikt 'Smells Like ‘67' (Dear Deer)
Seventh Distrikt returns to Ukranian label Dear Deer with ‘Smells Like ‘67’, a joyous track that uses cheeky vocal samples in a manner reminiscent of Oliver Dollar. The whooping crowd noises are just the icing on the cake for this disco-infused house cut that sounds like it could have come from the Magnetic label. Add some organic percussion and a walking bassline, and we’ve got ourselves a track to remind us that, however cold it might be right now, summer is never too far away.
