#66 Top Releases in Electro (Classic / Detroit / Modern)

BPitch Control loves such strong and independent characters like Jesse Perez. The American label boss of Mr. Nice Guy Records embodies the modern old-school by blending Booty House with Miami Bass into this lascivious sound he calls Bump-N-Grind. After his THOT EP from 2015, were happy the dirty mastermind is back with another EP on BPitch Control. And Cell Phones proves once again why Jesse Perez represents the real street sound of Miami. Its title track starts with his hip-hop drive of massive bass and even richer percussion, although Cell Phones isnt meant as a tribute to the technical progress rather than spreading a hedonistic message. Using the words of West Coast icon Egyptian Lover, theyre recalling that mobile phones dont belong on the dance floor  all that matters is the very moment, the here and now. Double Is Good, Triple Is Better" continues to unfold this back-to-the-roots feeling when Perez samples the old funk track Double Dutch Bus, which established the izz slang and radiates the old days block party vibe. Twerk Machine and The One Two Checka on the B-side get to the heart of his multifaceted talents: Jesse Perez established a bootylicious house sound that integrates breakbeats and interspersed vocal samples as well as electro-infected tunes and his unique style of vintage dance floor soul. True Underground Spirit!
