Clap Back EP (Ekkohaus Rmx) Elon

New York’s Elon provides Metroline with yet another very fine release. Clap Back is a real gem. The original mix has a beautiful spacious and airy mix that allows the echo-soaked toms and the swirling vox stabs to breathe, and they really draw you in. An insistent bass pulse provides a structure for the snappy post-garage percussion to build into a lurching, lunging rhythm. Very original, and very infectious. Ekkohaus’ remix is a focused, driving deep house groove, shaped around lush, rounded stabs and heavily-filtered synths. Claps and snare emerge from the beautifully balanced mix to give the track a real disco kick. The third track on the EP Zero Gravity has a more back-to-basics feel. The bassline is dubby, but the percussion has a classic French Touch feel that gives the track real movement. A Rhodes-like synth line wraps itself round the track like a warm fuzzy blanket. Maximum comfort for house heads.
