Abe Duque feat Nicole Arrington 'Float Away' (Abe Duque Records)
Having released music for two decades now, Abe Duque is a ubiquitous force in house music. The title track of his latest release, ‘Float Away’, is split into two different chapters: ‘Chapter One’ features a beautiful vocal that gives way to an acidic banger, while ‘Chapter Two’ is a main-room version with choppy drums, staccato stabs and vocal snips (there’s also a handy instrumental on the digital release, too). The flip, ‘Taboo’, is a jazz-infused house groove that gives Nicole Arrington’s stunning vocals room to breathe, and is later given to Matt Law for a remix that takes things in a clubbier direction.
