LA upstart Sage Caswell appears to be at the beginning stages of a busy summer, with a collaborative release alongside fellow SoCal producer Cromie on its way for the Peach label and a solo effort set for release on Urulu’s Amadeus imprint in the months to come. But before then, Caswell has put together a free two-track EP to help properly introduce himself to house heads across the web. Its appropriately titled lead cut, “First,” is propulsive house tune that is both deep and sultry, and wraps glowing chords and distant samples around a crisp, jacking groove. The EP’s b-side—an equally impressive jam called “Walk it Off”—can also be downloaded for free via Caswell’s SoundCloud page.
