Mike Sandcastle returns to Jolene Records for its thirteenth release, comprising four fresh original house cuts from the UK artist. Hailing from Blackpool, Mike Sandcastle is carving out a strong reputation within the UK’s house scene, delivering a sound that pairs gritty club functionality with a refined, sample-led house approach. His productions nod to the warmth and character of classic house while weaving in a modern edge, resulting in records that resonate across both underground spaces and contemporary dancefloors. With releases on labels including Midnight Riot, The Discography Lessons, SHEE’s Secret Society and a returning appearance on Jolene, Sandcastle continues to build momentum as a name to watch. ‘Give Me Your Love’ opens the release with a rich, soulful energy, weaving together plucked basslines, airy vocal snippets, shimmering marimba tones and delicate, fluttering synths over a loose, swinging groove. ‘Try Mine’ follows with a tougher edge, driven by rolling toms, sharp acid-tinged stabs, saturated percussion and uplifting gospel-infused vocal chants that inject a raw, peak-time intensity. On ‘Working In The Club’, Sandcastle shifts into a more playful, sample-led territory, chopping and reworking jazzy guitar licks into a tightly woven, groove-driven arrangement that leans into his filter house sensibilities. Closing the EP, ‘Luv Magician’ embraces a disco-leaning aesthetic, blending funk-laced guitar riffs, buoyant basslines and catchy vocal hooks with a crisp, stripped-back rhythm section, all tied together by swirling delays and resonant textures.
