Jay-Leklass is the alias of Italian artist Luigi Egitto, who’s known due to his highly acclaimed My Mind EP, which was out on House House House last year. Now the artist returns with his second EP Feel The Bass to the label and delivers four tracks for the Deep House-books. Egitto therefore explores the more energetic territory of the genre and comes up with four cuts for an eternal and essential House party.
Opening the EP with The Drummer Jay-Leklass chose a more tribalistic-note for the track. However The Drummer is despite it’s percussive almost Balearic-seeming touch a rather groovy House track with an excellent bassline and extravagant vocals. Let’s say the track is made for some serious dancefloor business.
The EP continues with Feel The Bass, a 90s influenced classic House track with quite charming pads as well as exquisite samples and effects inside. The track reaches its ultimate peak with the classy break when the deep synth-line simply does what it is supposed to do: play until the bass drops again.
Sustain, the B1, is a Detroit-flavored deep House affair with partly half broken funky groove and an euphoric drop. It’s the perfect track to add a little something to the party and make things a little bit more serious and demanding on the dancefloor.
The EP closes with The Vibe, which is positive sun kissed House music with a spacey groove, classy pads and oh-so-sweet arranged vocals. The Vibe not only sounds like a classic from back in the days but brings back the class to the genre these days.
Overall Jay-Leklass delivers with Feel The Bass a diverse and versatile House EP as Luigi Egitto knows his craft as well as the history of dance music very well and implements the past in the present to create something meaningful for the future.
Jay-Leklass’ Feel The Bass EP is out on House House House.
