Preview: Gordon John – Hot EP

Here is something forthcoming on Kidology London by a good friend of mine ‘Gordon John’. This is Gordon’s debut release on the label and what a banging two-track EP it is!

The first track on the EP is called ‘Hot For You’ and is a very upbeat, bouncy main room house track. Loads of energy in the main hook, even the non-dancers in a club would be bouncing around to it. The breakdown is really nice, loads of effects and the main riff playing throughout on piano then BOOM.. it drops! Big tune!

The second track is called ‘Booming’ which is another high energy banger, I love the continuous high stab throughout and the really deep warpy bassline, everything in this is married together so well. The breakdown is very atmospheric and drops so nicely into the bass riff for a few bars before bringing back in the hats and high stabs. Absolute genius, nice one Gordon! This is gonna get hammered!

Not quite sure of the release date on this yet, but I’ll keep you posted.

Jungle Funk Recordings UK Vol. 1

One of the many perks to running a house music review website is that occasionally I get to feature tracks that I’ve produced and signed to labels. This is one of those occasions!

When producing, I usually team up with my radio co-host Barry Obzee, together we have had tracks released on a fair few labels and also have many more that are being released very soon. For this release, we managed to get signed to Canadian label ‘Jungle Funk Recordings’ which is owned and operated by Jerome Robins and Deko-Ze. We feel very privileged to have our track as a part of the brand new three-track compilation called ‘Jungle Funk Recordings UK Vol 1’. I am going to review all three individually:

House of Virus: Only You – Huge main room house track with some very distinct percussion and massive bass stab pattern on the drop. I really like the piano chords during the breakdown. I’m gonna hammer this in the clubs, it’s big!

Barry Obzee & Lawrence Friend: Bassline Pumpin – It’s hard to review our own track without sounding biased, but this one is full of energy, big techy basslines, synth patterns and stabs. The breakdown stays simple, builds up and has a nice pitched down spoken vocal before that high-energy drop. We’ve already tried and tested this one on the terrace of Space, Ibiza and it went down a treat!

Gordon John: Laying Down The Funk – This one is a definite for any main room set, just check out the bass pattern and you’ll see why! In this track, Gordon has fused together some big hatty tech drums with a seriously sharp and bouncy bass pattern. Honestly, you need to hear this!

Three completely different style tracks and all flying the British flag high. This whole release is available right now exclusive to Beatport for a few weeks before getting released on every platform. Check it..
