LET IT ALL OUT

Fade To Mind

Info:

This 4-track Ep Is The First Official Release From New Jerseys Mikeq, One Of The Unquestioned Leaders Of The Current Vogue-house Scene, And Follows In The Wake Of A Slew Of Self-released Tunes He Has Dropped Over The Past Few Years. Let It All Out Is Also The Second Record On Kingdoms Fade To Mind Imprint, Which Has Already Received Mountains Of Praise Despite Its Short Discography. Largely Built Upon Raw, Upfront Drum Sounds, Recycled Snippets Of Hip-hop And R&b, And, Most Importantly, The Ever-present >ha< (itself A Repurposed Masters At Work Sample), Vogue House Seemingly Offered The Sort Of Sound That Tastemaking And Blog-reading Djs Would Snap Up With Aplomb. Hell, Even Diplo Championed The Ballroom Scene. Yet, For Whatever Reason, The Expected Vogue-house Explosion Hasnt Really Happened. While A Handful Of Non-ballroom Producers And Djs (most Coming From The World Of Bass Music) Have Experimented With The Genre, The Music Essentially Continues To Hum Along In The Underground.
