Sales Notes:


Fresh off of his Son Of Sound releases on Mike Simonetti's New Jersey Records and Basement Floor, Henry Maldonado continues to produce tracks that are true to the New York underground he remembers while producing for a young Strictly Rhythm in 1991.

Delivered here is a debut EP as Son Of Sound on his brand new District 30 imprint. A vinyl exclusive sliced 3-ways in the form of hardware-sampler style looping, Shelter-eque soulful Tech-House and a perfectly unpolished aesthetic revived by the likes of Theo Parrish, Ricardo Miranda and Omar S.

You Brought This On Yourself features 2 mixes (versions here). Version 1 is sure to be regarded as an edit, although the idea actually draws on early sample-based looping tracks such as Pal Joey's Earth People. Intricately chopped samples combine to create unique loops and vocal stabs to deliver the Disco treatment. Version 2 is an underground House stomper with a bumped up tempo. Its driving staccato baseline accentuates the groove and drives the entire theme, working its way nicely into the big room.

Lookie Heeyaa rounds things off nicely with more SP1200 hip-hop style sample chopping. Reminiscent of Maldonado's early House 2 House productions, dirty drums and creatively placed samples come together to create a groove that hypnotizes and moves you all at once.
