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!
