Chi Duly - Balloons of Haus (The Weeknd Remixes) [DWNLD]

" Balloons of Haus is house music for the "I'm not really into techno" folks. It's uptempo but more to the point (free of those minute long intros/breakdowns of arbitrary ambience). The concept was born of my interest in bringing The Weeknd's vibe to a DJ set. He's talking about what every other artist you hear in the club is talking about except he's artistic, emotionally believable. The Weeknd's subject matter is already club friendly. The pace however was only bedroom friendly. My project still retains that laid back, mellow uptempo R&B vibe but picks up on a harder electro vibe with the Dirty Diana remix. It's all around a very diverse range of house music genres. " - Chi Duly

Zodiac, also known as Jeremy Rose, is a 23 year old producer based out of Toronto. And yes, we all know what his music sounds like. Remember that tune "What You Need" by The Weeknd? Well that little beat was produced by the man himself. If that doesn't speak for his immense talent, The Fader listed him amongst the top 5 producers to watch in 2012. But he's not only known for his production for The Weeknd, he's also produced for The Jealous Guys on the track "Genesis".

A mesh of dark, eerie sounds with a balancing act between complexity and simplicity is how I'd define Zodiac's music. A shorter version? Just brilliant.
