German duo Robosonic (Cord and Sacha) have struck pure gold with their Good Feel EP that dropped earlier this week on Beatport. Anyone who is a fan of old school Hip Hop beats and fun vibin’ House music will undoubtedly appreciate this three-track EP that was released on OFF Recordings, the Berlin-based label that houses Robosonic, Mat.Joe, Purple Disco Machine, Kevin Knapp, and plenty more. Robosonic had been on my radar to an extent, but it was accidentally discovering their track “Good Old Feel” ft. Masta Ace the other day that really helped put them in the forefront of my mind (thanks Shazaam!). The track “Good Old Feel” is full of soulful organs and R&B licks, but it features rapping by Masta Ace and some on-point scratching that you don’t often hear in House music. Where did I hear “Good Old Feel”? On Claptone’s newest mix for the Full Moon Festival – and it’s my favorite track off the entire 60-minute collection.
What else do we get off the Good Feel EP? How about the track “Life is Like” that pays homage to throwback Nas, and samples his track “Nas is Like” off the I Am… album. If you never expected a classic Nas track to be remixed into a House track, well you’re dead wrong – this is must hear music folks!
Check out the track “Dedicated” if you’re into jackin’ House, Hip-Hop samples, and, well, saxophone. The Robosonic boys write that “Dedicated” was built on a vinyl from Sacha’s collection. This one is more of a dance floor bomb than the previous two tracks that might be more appropriate for sunsets and poolside hangouts.
Lastly? How about a two-hour mix by Robosonic featuring their new tracks, tracks of their labelmates, and genuinely GOOD House music. The first hour is more of a G-House mix and the second hour goes deeper and chiller with music by Ten Walls, Maya Jane Coles, Guy Gerber, Justin Martin, Eats Everything, and more. Bottom line? This is music for your weekend!
