Shake Off The Ghosts EP

A 4 track house single (17m 48s) — released April 6th 2009 on Loungin Recordings

The Young Lovers project grew from a concept that Josh had been working on to create an album of romantic music fore headphones & holiday listening. This is not your typical chilled Ibiza project, but a piece of work that has grown from multitude of influences & ideas. This is the second E.P. from The Young Lovers album due out in early 2009 following up on the success of the Love You Madly E.P., which blew up early this year. The E.P. kicks of with Booty Bella, which acts as a good reference point as to the sound that first sold The Young Lovers project to loungin' many moons ago. This summery number has a smooth Balearic feel with all the hallmark attention to detail in the production that we have come to expect from Josh Harvey. Beautiful basslines accompanied by soft guitars, if you close your eyes you could be on Salinas beach in Ibiza! One could say that it follows on well from The Young Lovers feat Trevor Loveys - This Is What Its All About that ended the last E.P. Leading onto A2 we flow into the title track Shake Off The Ghosts. This Burial inspired number keeps the deepness of The Young Lovers sound but firmly falls in the Dubstep category which is currently causing a stir the world around. The filtered beats accompanied by the twisted vocals layered with sound effects, which seem to come at you from all directions make this both album friendly, but you know well that it will be tearing up dancefloors over the next few months the world around. Flip the record over & we have C-Dibby. From the onset, the tough kicks & drum edits lay the way for a proper dancefloor stormer. With killer cut-up vocals and a chugging bassline the track then leads to a bumping sax chop-up which will be getting rewinds from shore to shore before the year is out. This has Herve's stamp firmly on this one & will be one for anyone who is feeling the Dubsided & Made To Play sound. To finish the E.P. is She's A Phoenix. Again, similar to Booty Bella, the reason this one made the 12" was to show everyone out there what to expect from the forthcoming album. It has all the hallmarks of Josh's unique deep and emotive sound that has come to be in The Young Lovers, which has made this project so central to loungin'. The precise sounds and production makes one reminisce back to the New Jazz sound around the millennium, which loungin' was so central to from the onset.
