Some tracks just grab you from the moment of the first note, and others take awhile to warm up like an old oven. This happens to be a case of the latter. I wasn’t really get grabed by this track until I recently saw the video for it, which compelled me to watch/listen to this track for it’s entirety. I sure am grateful I did. There have been a few tracks that have been “slow burners” for me this year and typically, they up being my favorites. Now I get to add this track to said list.
Fantastic reminder of summer with it’s tropical house flavor. Taken from Perseus free EP, Russian Girlfriends.

This is the tale of young Perseus. Just a few moons ago, Perseus opened The Magician’s Magic Tape 12 with his retouch of “New Life.” After noticing the people’s desire for 112bpm tropical flavors, The Magician descended upon the lands of Mycenae and challenged Perseus to undertake a quest only fit for demigods. The Kraken? Medusa? No — that’s ancient history. The undertaking was fairly simple: if Perseus could craft 3 magical originals, he would share them with the masses. And so it happened, Magic Tape 15 was met with “Russian Girlfriends,” followed by “Cool Runnings” in tape 17, and finally “Running Back To You” in tape 18.
The people prayed, day after day, asking for Perseus to unlock his music and share it with them. And so it was, through the help of his “fly” stallion, Pegasus (or in alternative universes, “The French Express”), they heroically unchained the EP, for the masses to fully consume & enjoy.
All which remains from the great epic is the highly-coveted, highly-demanded 3-track EP, in heavenly 320kbit quality. It is yours, for keeps… Tweet about it, post about it, share it, blare it. This EP will be live on Beatport soon, for those wanting to hang 10 and catch a few .WAV’s.
Fitting, since this is after all the weekend, but that just happens to be coincidence to be honest. I some how forgot to post this track when I initially ran by it. After all, I’ve had this thing playing on my iPod for quite sometime now. Anyhow, this track is taken from their first full length titled, Rapprocher (meaning “to come closer” in French), which was released in October of this year.
