When We Dip | Premiere: James Trystan & Haptic join forces on new single ‘Lupine’

British DJ and producer James Trystan debuts on Disco Halal with new single ‘Lupine’, featuring Australian artist Haptic. Combining fluttering synths and a deep, brooding bassline with Haptic’s hushed vocals, ‘Lupine’ is an emotion-tinged melodic house cut that gradually increases in intensity across its three-and-a-half minutes. The release also includes a club-ready remix from Tel Aviv DJ and producer OMRI.

James explains: “‘Lupine’ was born from a need to push the boundaries of my usual sound. The dark twisting melodies juxtaposed Haptic’s sublime, ethereal vocals to tell a story you can’t describe, only feel.”

After a run of killer releases on Bedrock, Suara and Eleatics, James Trystan continues his upwards trajectory. An electronic music producer and vocalist based in Sydney, Haptic has previously released music on labels such as Surveillance Party, Microcastle Music and Believe.

Israeli young gun OMRI. explains of his remix “The first time I heard ‘Lupine’ it immediately caught my ear. The atmosphere hit me hard and I couldn’t ignore it, I knew I had to remix it.”

Encompassing elements of downtempo, new-wave and alternative pop, stitched together with a leftfield dancefloor throb, the Disco Halal back-catalogue, filled with efforts from the likes of Simple Symmetry, The Organism and Moscoman himself, has seen the imprint rapidly emerging from the once-overlooked nightlife and club scene of Tel Aviv into the worldwide spectrum.

A release that sees two electronic talents making their Disco Halal debut, the revered label kicks off the new year in typically prolific fashion. You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘OMRI. remix’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
