Review: Belfast-born, Bali-based Dee Montero (real name Dee McAuley) made his name with releases on Tale & Tone, Selador Recordings and Anjunadeep, though since 2020 he's been operating out of his own imprint, Futurescope. There's much to admire about 'Maya', his latest single for the label. In its original form, the track is an evocative, string-drenched, tribal-tinged deep-tech treat in which sustained chords, orchestral builds and glassy-eyed female vocal samples rise above moody bass and densely layered beats. Rodriguez Jr provides the obligatory remix, adding trance-inducing electronics, wide-eyed lead lines and twisted analogue bass for an even more uplifting feel. On both tracks, listen out for a few audible nods to the Future Sound of London's most celebrated moment.
