Guestlist Recommends…Huxley
House |
Wednesday 2nd May 2012 | Osh
Huxley, born Michael Dodman, is a name that has quickly risen to the upper echelons of the generally overpopulated house scene in the last couple of years. Mixing the flavours of UK and US Garage, House and early rave music into a pastiche of upfront and energetic dance music, Huxley has already created quite a reputation for himself as a premier producer.
Often switching between four-to-the-floor and 2-step rhythms, his clean-cut productions on Tsuba, Losing Suki, Noir and Cecille have cemented his position at the zenith of cutting-edge house in its various forms.
One of the UK’s finest taste-making labels of the minute, Hypercolour, which has championed the in-vogue sounds of Maya Jane Coles, jozif and Kevin McPhee, is the latest to pick up on Huxley’s talent, releasing track Let You Go back in February, with a militant remix from Eats Everything on the flip.
Let You Go beautifully epitomises Huxley’s sound, set to a 4x4 house beat but with the manipulation of a looped vocal sample that automatically harks back to the champagne bubbly era of UK Garage in the late ‘90s.
Having recently co-formed his own label with Jimmy Posters – Saints & Sonnets – 2012 is set to be another huge year for Huxley as he delves into the world of A&R while looking to stay at the top of his production game. There’s plenty more to come from this invigorating new virtuoso!
