DESCRIPTION:
UK house icon Mr. G makes his FUSE debut alongside longtime friend and collaborator Duncan Forbes, with the two partnering for their excellent ‘Time To Dip’ EP.
An artist truly regarded as one of UK house music’s greats, Colin McBean, aka Mr. G, stands today as an individual at the pinnacle of the genre as his trademark sound and legendary live sets continue to tantalise crowds across the globe. A special guest at FUSE’s final show at London’s iconic Printworks in March, the event that went on to influence the EP’s curation, the UK mainstay heads to Enzo Siragusa’s globally renowned imprint for the very first time this September as he delivers his ‘Time To Dip’ EP alongside longstanding friend and regular collaborator, Duncan Forbes. Friends for many years, having known one another since Forbes’ Animated project, their collaborations on Phoenix G and 49North and recent LP have seen the duo uncover a selection of high- quality cuts from across the house spectrum - and here they showcase their innate chemistry across four tracks loaded with quality.
“Gotta say, this EP really is born outta standing on the stage before my set at FUSE at Printworks and listening to what was being played. When I got back I said to D that I wanted do something based around what I had heard, never really thinking Enzo or FUSE would get it, but how wrong we were. It’s another fab meeting of minds with D, which makes this joint EP so different yet special... I feel it covers many different bases and tempos, a real gem. Looking forward to see what folk make of it.” - Mr. G.
Title track ‘Time To Dip’ is classy house music that packs a punch typical of that trademark sound we’ve come to know and love. It’s heavy and tough yet stripped back and unquestionably dancefloor focused, all softened by hooky female vocals and hazy textures. Duncan’s ‘Sherbert Dip’ mix highlights the vocal and brings it to the fore as shuffling drums and sweeping melodies build around the elements. The flip welcomes ‘All Night’, a delightfully vibrant track pairing rich rhodes, swirling leads and sharp hats with an abundance of subtle jazzy textures, before Forbes’ ‘In The Zone’ remix delivers an immersive, heady and dubby late-night voyage for a mesmerising final ride.

Last FM Information on Mr G
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Very briefly... Mr G is one of the main characters in popular Australian comedy mockumentary TV show Summer Heights High. As something of a self appointed head of drama at the fictional school the show is named for, he directs a bunch of school kids in a musical he wrote himself. The main song which is shown in the performance of the musical on the show, Naughty Girl, was made into a single, with various remixes created, having radio time.
Mr G is also a pseudonym for Colin McBean, one half of The Advent with Cisco Ferreira. The pair released one album and several EPs between 1997 and 2000 as G Flame & Mr G. In contrast to the uncompromising techno of The Advent, G Flame & Mr G's music was housier - although it's still not for the faint-hearted and is squarely aimed at the dancefloor. Mr G has continued to release solo material in the same mould since 2000, including an album called Me, Myself & I and numerous EPs. Read more on Last.fm.
