Simion's next release doesn't come out until April 25, but we already have access to the full stream. The single, "U + I," is sort of like deep house. The soulful singing vaguely recalls vocal Chicago tracks, and the one of the synth melodies sounds like a dismembered version of the chord progression on Soul Capsule's "Lady Science (NYC Sunrise)"—but the comparisons pretty much stop there. The powerful, dense beat and searing garage-influenced hi-hats drive the track with pure muscle, not subtle ambiance, which is totally fine by us, because a bone-deep groove like this is pretty undeniable. "U + I" will arrive on Simion's own Hedonism imprint April 25th, along with a few remixes, including one from Sankeys resident Darius Syrossian.
