Someone who veered off track a bit for me over the last few years is Sandy Rivera. When he went all Electro it particularly went bad. So take a look at the http://www.traxsource.com number one - Traxsource and have a listen. I’ve been given the track as a promo and i’ve listened to it a few times and what’s struck me is that Sandy has shrewdly crafted together a mesh of old and fairly recent - hence the healthy chart placement. When I listen to that intro with the sparse rhodes and 8th note + noise breakdown it feels like he’s covering the dad’s with the rhodes and the kids with the deadmau5 style synth texture. The drums are bare but with a subtle contemporary groove and the result is not straight up soulful house nor is it electro… it just feels like a timely end of summer club anthem. What say you?
Wow, killer track. Thanks for the link.
I kinda like it as well. A bit rougher (but only a bit) then the real housey house tunes. And if you listen to what Sandy’s been producing the last couple of years, then you should know he’s not that housey any more. It all evolves. House holds more and more progressive and techy stab elements nowadays.
I can’t get the Deadmau5 elements when I listen to it. To me it soundls like he has tried to remake Finally, and it makes it sound really dated to me.
But maybe that is because I really hate Finally.

That’s because it’s girly…
Sounds like he is copying me

The Deadmau5 aspect is the sidechained noise and offbeat synth that comes in - reminds me of him anyway.
