What Were You Gonna Say feat. Neo

DAR001
30th April sees the release of Forget Me Not's eagerly anticipated debut 'What Were You Gonna Say’ featuring Neo.
This is the first release from new digital label, Diamond & Raw.
Born out of Bristol’s exciting underground scene, Forget Me Not craft bass music with finesse and a sophisticated attention to detail. Producing from a broad palette of sounds and textures, the trio’s aesthetic is both hard and soulful.
‘What Were You Gonna Say’ is the outfit’s mission statement - sparkling synths meet percussive fervour and rising bass. The track’s highlight is The Boxettes vocalist Neo’s performance that beautifully delivers a tale of tortured silence.
On remix duties, Diamond & Raw have enlisted the skills of two of Europe’s emerging production talents; Auntie Flo (Hunleys & Palmers) and Gullfisk (Hot N Heavy). Auntie Flo gives the track an African makeover with his upfront, kwaito remix, while Gullfisk brings things down a level with his blissed-out, sub-heavy version.
"Really into this one, perfect balance of interesting enough to listen to at home, while still weighty enough for the dancefloor. Big EP" (Mumdance – Mad Decent/Various – UK)
"Played this on my show thats being broadcast next week. Love them" (Sinden – Kiss FM/Get Familiar/Domino – UK)
"Big TUNE!" (Chrissy Murderbot – Planet Mu)
"Loving the vocals on this one" (Throwing Snow – Left Blank/Various)
'What Were You Gonna Say' is available to download on 30/04/2012 from all good digital outlets.
