Exceeding Joy EP Feedback

HTD 005 - Mario Dujic - Exceeding Joy EP

Out Now at Stompy & Beatport!

Some Recent Feedback:

Tony Humphries - Beautifully done EP! Nice deep tracks, it will fit
well in our sets.

Murray Richardson - Liking Smile & My Need is You. Top stuff from Headtunes.

Patrick Turner - Wicked Freshness!

Special Interest - Loving the deepness here.

Andy (Inland Knights) - Really like My Need is You....

Jay West - Great stuff here, loving My Need is You!

Littlemen - Really like the vibe of this ep, put a smile on my face!

Giom - Nice little departure from Headtunes here! My favorite is My Need is You original.

Da Sunlounge - Nice deep gear here.

Luke McKeehan - Really great package all around. The Sona mix is killer, but I think Smile is the winner on this one. Full support.

Ross Couch -This sounds like a promising start to Mario's career. All 3 original tracks here are solid house music tracks leaning towards the more melodic end of the spectrum which suits me just fine. I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for his future productions. Sona's remix fits in nicely, continuing the vibe but adding a slightly techier approach.

Deron Delgado (Stompy) -I really like Smile, and the deep, soulful, jazzy groove of From Above is top notch, and the moody vibe of Sona remix adds to a super package!!

DJ Disciple - lovin the 'smile' trac

Bryan Jones - Really cool EP. Never heard of this guy, but I really dig it. "From Above" is the standout cut to me, but they all sound pretty hot.

Miles Maeda - Pure uplifting house!

Joel Armstrong (Proton Radio) - crikey, one of the best EPs I've received this year!

Ray Colclough (beat 102 103 fm / Ireland) - Nice deep vibe on this.

Steve Arnell (Myhouse-Yourhouse) - Quality, Quality house music. I'm liking this new find!

And More.......

Mario Dujic - Exceeding Joy EP making its promo rounds


Just in time for the WMC 2009, our new EP from Mario Dujic is making its promo rounds. 

Mario Dujic
Exceeding Joy EP
Headtunes - HTD005
Out: March 23, 2009
on Stompy & Beatport

1: Smile
2: From Above
3: My Need Is You
4: My Need Is You (Sona Remix)

Headtunes Recordings again showcase their skill in unearthing new talent, this time with the first ever release from Mario Dujic, a 23 year old producer from Croatia. Three original deep, soulful and musical tracks, which give a slight nod to classic French house, are complemented by a remix from another relatively new name, Sona. 

Based in Split, Croatia, Mario Dujic began his musical career at the age of 16 and was trained as a classical musician. In a similar vein to fellow Croatian Ilija Rudman, as Dujic developed he discovered dance music and now merges this with his background to create house music with a healthy dose of musicality and live instrumentation.

On remix duties is Sona, the man responsible for establishing Nosa Recordings, the first electronic dance music label in Taipei. Following the success of his release ‘Nowhere To Run’ on Pete Tong's Bedroom Bedlam label, Sona’s innovative production style and genre bending sounds have helped him to make steady waves in the industry, resulting in his music catching the attention of top jocks including John Acquaviva, Onionz, Carl Cox. His relationship with Headtunes began in early 2008 with the release of ‘The Bits & Pieces EP’. 2009 is shaping up nicely already; aside from this remix of Mario Dujic forthcoming projects include remixing including Alicia Keys' backing singer Rogiers and Intensity of Sound, alongside more original releases on his own imprint.

This 4 track EP will be available March 23, 2009 just in time for WMC.  Its definitely got a laid back deep house vibe perfect for all those fabulous pool parties in Miami.  

You can preview a couple of the tracks on our myspace page

DJ & Radio feedback will be posted soon!
