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.

Le Funnk ft Valerie M – Life Is The Way

Anyone who knows me will know that I have a close relationship with the family over at Kidology London, and recently they sent me this absolute gem! I was extremely proud to have the world exclusive first play of this track on our radio show and I’m very thankful for that.

This release is produced by Le Funnk and features the vocals of the talented Valerie M from the Freestylers. From pressing the play button this track is full of energy. The breakdown features some really nice classic piano chords coupled with some vocal stabs, then in comes some claps and a riser which builds everything up to an almighty drop. If big basslines are your thing then you’ll be all over this! After the drop is a huge warpy, old skool garage sounding bass riff that will blow a roof off.

Absolutely love this track, and it’s getting loads of attention from the big players! Available NOW!!

Maff Boothroyd – Love Is The Answer

Something fresh from the Kidology camp from dj/producer ‘Maff Boothroyd’. This is a guy who has definitely gone on my ‘ones to watch’ list recently having featured two of his previous tracks on my latest phuk podcast and getting amazing reactions to his material in the clubs, it’s safe to say he is making his mark in the industry.

Maff’s productions certainly have a unique style and this release is a perfect example of that. There is a big dispute at the moment within the whole house music industry regarding genre classification. Some people would say this track falls under the deep house bracket, personally I’d say it’s just straight up, feel good house music. This track consists of a huge piano breakdown with a great vocal and some airy strings, all before a big build and drop into a massive bass pattern that’s guaranteed to get the hands in the air. Throughout the track there are great little elements kicking in and dropping out, all adding to the summery feel of this big Ibiza anthem, as well as a recognisable vocal thats been cut up and played with. If you’re playing out this summer then I’d definitely recommend this one, it’s tried and tested.

Black Legend Project – Be Free

Here is something out on Kidology London by the producer Black Legend. You may remember him from his chart smasher years ago, he’s now back and churning out some awesome music.

This will be his second single release on Kidology as last month he released the track ‘FANF’R’ which is still going down a treat, but he has also had a remix appear on the same label too. The timing on this release is perfect as the weather is warming up and it is full of summer vibes. There are two elements in this track that I particularly like; the funky bassline and the amazing vocal. The bass takes me back to the old ‘proper’ funky house days and the vocal is just so cheerful that it makes me smile. I haven’t had a chance to spin this in a club yet but I can imagine this being played on a beach in the sunshine, I can’t wait to slip this into my set.

Absolutely amazing track, this is a must in the sunshine..

Dolly Rockers & Lizzie Curious – Gotta Groove

I said a while back that you’d be hearing a lot more from the Dolly Rockers and I wasn’t joking! They are back and teaming up with Lizzie Curious for this monster of a track. I have previously reviewed tracks from both the Dolly Rockers and Lizzie Curious and you can hear the fusion between both styles in this one. Pairing the huge, bouncy tech house production from the Dollys with the distinct, infectious vocal from Lizzie, this track is an absolute winner!

The Dolly Rockers – Voices

I was fortunate enough to get this track on promo and I got to sample it out last weekend, WOW what a track! Great vocal and a huge drop. Fresh release for Kidology London and I can just imagine this one blowing up, it’s big! Dolly Rockers are a name that is familiar to anyone who’s serious about their house music and right now it’s their time to shine! They are like a conveyor belt of massive tunes and they are the big shotters in the house scene now. I’m sure I’ll be mentioning them a lot more in the future. Check this..
