Vocal house with Detroit elements blended in. Makes for 3 really cool tracks!

Coming off the heels of his Son Of Sound 01 EP and Night Shift release on Basement Floor, Henry Maldonado releases yet another Son Of Sound EP on his District 30 imprint. Son Of Sound 02 features 3 tracks that vary in mood, but just as the power-plant on the artwork would suggest, they're all New York and all business.

The A side sets things off with Majik Triken. The early morning uptempo deep house stomper grooves eerily with a combination of dirty drums and a harmonic synth line. The haunting vocal loop creeps its way into the track and carries the groove with the rest of the distorted elements. It's a prime example of what can happen when you take Detroit chords and combine it with a New York style backing track.

Side B kicks off with Please Stand By To Move. Straight-to-the-point 808 drumming opens up the track and leads into to even more tech-house chord action. This one is a deep groover throughout, with the energy intensity building as you ride it. Definitely a track for both New York and Detroit fans alike.

Kool Kontrol slows down the tempo to break-neck speed and takes you on a blissful, soulful journey. The track delivers a slow-paced, washed out groove laced with soulful loops and arpeggios. Its 4/4 drum track and behind-the-beat baseline give it more of a hip-hop feel while reinforcing the soulful edge and keeping the energy cool. Pop the top!
