KingCrowney - The Palace Offering

Definitive Recordings welcomes KingCrowney for his debut on the label with ‘The Palace Offering EP’, a three-track release that blends classic deep house foundations with jazz influences and global rhythms. A trumpeter as well as a producer, KingCrowney brings a distinctive musicality to his productions, weaving live instrumentation into dancefloor-focused house music.

London-based KingCrowney has quickly emerged as one of the city’s most exciting deep house talents. Recognised by Traxsource and DJ Mag as an artist to watch, his collaboration with deep house pioneer Jimpster, ‘The Back’, spent months dominating the Traxsource deep house charts. Further releases such as ‘Intentions’ with Max Sinàl and Liv East have cemented his reputation for rich, soulful productions. He has also remixed Ezra Collective on Partisan Records and released music on Defected’s The Remedy Project and Soul Quest Records.

Opening this new EP is ‘Sofa’, a beautifully crafted deep house cut that honours the genre’s roots. Built on a classic house groove, the track features jazzy synth stabs and elegant trumpet lines performed by KingCrowney himself, creating a warm and soulful atmosphere.

The second track, ‘A.Y.W.’ (Anytime You Want), raises the intensity with a slightly stomping groove and a more fierce energy while still staying firmly within classic deep house territory. Once again the trumpet plays a central role, joined by a powerful vocal performance from LEGZDINA, whose distinctive voice adds emotional depth and drive to the track.

Closing the EP, ‘Global Citizen’ (feat. Drizilik) shifts the groove toward Afro-inspired rhythms. The track blends house percussion with afrobeat energy, layered trumpet melodies, and a rap performance from Sierra Leonean artist Drizilik, bringing a global perspective to the release.

With ‘The Palace Offering EP’, KingCrowney delivers a sophisticated blend of house tradition, live instrumentation, and international influences, marking an impressive debut on Definitive Recordings.

Definitive Recordings was founded by John Acquaviva, Richard Hawtin, and Karl Kowalski in 1992 as an embodiment of their vision for house music. "Not too hard, not too soft" was the mantra and it built up a fine body of talented artists who made a real impact on the global underground and helped to foment a unique identity for Definitive Recordings. After acquiring the catalogue of legendary Canadian house label, Get Physical Music is proud to present a new various artists series that focuses on some of its most classic cuts. John Acquaviva will continue to A&R for the label and work closely alongside the Get Physical team in this new era.
