Genre’s come in waves of popularity and while it seems everyone is going on and on about trap, I predict the real front runner for 2013 to be garage. It has the perfect mix of sophistication and simplicity. When it’s done well, garage has a bottomless low end that pleases everyone who wants to feel the music while maintaining enough melody to easily pace dancefloors until the sun comes up. This new/old EP from MADHOUSE RECORDS is a fine example of just that.
Matt ‘Jam’ Lamont and Brian ‘Keys’ Tharme worked on these tracks originally in the Tuff Jam heyday but the project was never completed. Late 2007 the original project files were unearthed and the duo paired up to finish what has been started and the result is ‘The Lost Tapes’ EP. The standouts, for me, have soft, round, bubbling bass.
There are some mixes in the EP for the house purists too. They’re mighty fine and I expect to hear them on dancefloors and beachfronts alike well into the summer.
Watch for The Lost Tapes EP on Madhouse – it drops February 11 (on Beatport) / February 25 everywhere else.
