Lex Newton comes back into the spotlight with Back To New York EP, on his own label. His successful Steel EP, also released on Redefine Records on mid February 2011, and his warmly welcomed remix of Blizzard on Electronical Reeds, make this release a highly anticipated one. Already supported by artists such as Nic Fanciulli, Charles Schillings or Denis A on his previous release, it makes no doubt that this EP will catch the attention of music lovers.
The eponymous track brings back the old school spirit with some fresh groove, and is a tribute to one of the birthplace of House music, New York City. The rhythm sets up quickly as well as a warm black male voice that reminds of vocals from another birthplace of House music, Chicago. The tracks then builds up with a powerful bass and screaming horns, not unlike some old disco standards from the Big Apple. Chicago-style vocals, New York-inspired mood and catchy drums makes for a glowing tribute track that will set dance floors on fire.
The “42nd Street” is a famous NYC street just a few steps away from Times Square, hosting probably the most world-renowned musicals. It certainly can be considered as a landmark of the city that never sleeps. Not unlike this lively street, the track relies on its powerful melody and effective groove to get the audience dancing. Add a kick with added vitamin, a simple yet bouncy bass line and a delay-based climax to the mix, and you’ve got the perfect prime time track for your set.
Released on April 15th, 2011.
