We continue with another great house track on There Was Jack, and at the same time were excited to welcome a new artist to the label. Sowel is a Spanish DJ/producer whose career dates back to 2014. Over the years, he has explored several styles ranging from afro house to tech house, constantly experimenting with new sounds while blending classic house elements with modern, trendy vibes. In recent years, he has worked with well-known labels such as Protocol Recordings, HoTL, and Black Lizard. His tracks have received support from industry heavyweights including Nicky Romero, Mark Knight, Fedde Le Grand, and R3wire, just to name a few. Now, Sowel returns with a brand new single and makes his debut on There Was Jack with a track titled Loco Disco. Built around solid house drums and a driving bassline, the groove keeps the energy flowing throughout, with a subtle touch of disco shining through. The arrangement features tasteful funky samples, guitar, percussion, FX, and spoken vocals, all coming together to deliver a truly high-quality result. Sowels latest release is a real treat for disco and funky house lovers, and we confidently recommend it to There Was Jack fans, as well as DJs and curators alike. Check out Sowels newest release and be among the first to spin it!
