Circuit Grooves proudly unveils a sumptuous two-tracker from the enigmatic Glasgow-based producer The Shen, titled Another Reason, set to drop soon on July 25, 2025. Known for their nuanced blend of vintage House authenticity and more punchy contemporary productions. The Shen crafts sonic journeys inspired deeply by the emotive rhythms and soulful textures of seminal ‘90s imprints such as Nu Groove and Dance Mania, fused seamlessly with the dynamic reminiscent of labels like Chiwax.
“Another Reason,” the lead track, encapsulates deep house sensibilities elevated by intricate acid and luminous progression, exuding a weird and wonderful vibe. The flipside, “Orange Sunset,” is equally captivating, showcasing The Shen’s adeptness at merging lush, melodic arrangements with brass and dancefloor-ready grooves. Both tracks exude a buoyancy and rhythmic fluidity that feel distinctly suited to balmy summer evenings, distinctively stepping away from the harder-influenced tonal explorations. This whole record is one for the heads – a position Circuit Grooves is all about.
Having emerged from Red Rack’em’s influential production community, How I Program, The Shen continues to demonstrate mastery in balancing nostalgic reverence with forward-thinking ideas. With several acclaimed releases already available via Shen Music, this latest offering on Circuit Grooves further amplifies The Shen’s reputation as a thoroughly modern artist deftly navigating the intersections of the timeless and the fresh.
