LA-based DJ and taste-maker Lupe Fuentes has steadily been building her aptly-named imprint In The Loop over the last 18 months with notable tech-house releases being Lupe’s own track ‘The Drugs’ and remixes coming from the likes of Todd Terry.
In The Loop’s latest releases comes from London producer Pablo del Monte with whom Deep House HQ readers will be familiar through a string a quality releases over the last year.
‘Return to Chicago’ is a three-tracker EP with the lead track ‘Dem Toms Yo’ sure to be a dance floor mover with its driving tom bassline and use of latin percussion. The second track, ‘Return to Chicago‘, is – unsurprisingly – an early Chicago-eque cut with a booty-bouncing bassline. But our favourite is ‘Creepy Freaks’ which is dark tech-house-er with an infectious eerie lead line and crazy vocals.
The EP is out now exclusively through Traxsource and you can listen to ‘Dem Toms Yo’ on Pablo’s guest mix for In The Loop Radio.
