Brooklyns Lets Play House keeps building momentum with its second release of 2012. This time, label heads Jacques Renault, Nik Mercer, and James Friedman have teamed up with a pair of artists shrouded in mystery—the Dead Rose Music Company—to put out an EP featuring four original songs that confound definition...
The partnership behind TDRMC developed as many DJ/production outfits do- from a shared love of old records- and quickly led to countless secret, underground parties. Since then, they've had the pleasure of spinning alongside folks like the Magician, Soul Clap, Mark E, and Horse Meat Disco. Additionally, they've dropped a handful of sultry, smooth dance tracks for the likes of Future Classic, Sleazy Beats, and their own imprint, Taikomochi. The Four Songs EP is a collection of tracks that aim to be cinematic in their production approach: these are epic mixes meant to stand the test of time, fueled by huge drops, warm, syrupy bass lines, and ear-tickling effects. While the four songs are technically edits, Dead Rose have left their inimitable fingerprints all over them. Each tune has the air and ambiance of a groove you got into at a party, but can't remember fully the morning after; they're visceral and almost dreamy, like the jumbled recollections of last night's disco fading in and out of strobe-lit smoke on the dancefloor.
