Premiere: Valby Rotary open for business with a hazy beauty from Louf

Well that was a long 12 months wasn't it?

2016 has now finished so we start up the premiere cycle once again for 2017 and we've decided to go with something completely fresh to ease you back into action this January.

Valby Rotary is the new Leeds-based imprint that aims to share emotive club tracks from artists who deserve a spotlight shined on them. The hazy, sultry and damn right soothing first release comes from one of the label bosses, Louf, and it's about time you got to know what these guys are bringing forward.

'Hiccup' is a dainty and soft house cut that showcases luscious pads, trickling percussion and a groove that's going to cure any NYE hangovers. Reminiscent of Lobster Theremin's Route 8 but also telling that Theremin will be doing the vinyl distribution for Valby Rotary this year.

We've got high hopes for Valby in 2017 and you should do to. What better way to delve back into music this year than with an outfit starting a musical journey of their own. Happy new year.

VALBY001 is out early Feb and available to pre-order now via all good stores
