Barcode: 880319655616 A1) Hoes Before Bros feat. Chris Hess A2) Hoes Before Bros feat. Chris Hess (Genius Of Time Remix) B1) Holy Moly B2) Hokey Pokey Please note - We are not allowed to ship this record to the UK. Michael & Mattis are based between New York and Oslo. Maybe that's why their music has such a unique feel. Blending the oddness of Norwegian labels as Sex Tags Mania and the ongoing musical heritage of NYC in hip-hop, disco and house, they produce twisted house jams that manage to remain raw and catchy at the same time. Bold grooves and smooth vibes produ- ced with tape warmth and a singular pop appeal. šHoes Before Bros›, their debut EP for Hivern, features three tracks that display the assorted edges of their sound. The title track revamps Just Blaze's soulful vibes with a house pace, bringing together breezy melodies, chunky beats and Chris Hess's sleek vocals to outstanding effects. One of those rare tunes that succeeds at sounding as luscious as straightforward, keeping things laid-back without loosing dancefloor allure. šHokey Pokey› is a more discoish affair, building a slo-mo groove and blasting it with a rubbery baseline and poignant high-pitched strings, while šHoly Moly› is an extra-sweaty funk-house beast that brings together crushing beats, a menacing bass and uncanny piano chords with a hip-hop attitude. Just as if G-Funk was made for the househeads, The EP also includes a deeply hypnotic remix by our admired Swedish housemasters Genius Of Time. Alexander Berg and Nils Krogh focus on a raw percussive beat before introducing shamanic melodies to create the perfect DJ tool for the adventurous DJ. The release comes wrapped in artwork by barcelonian studio Córdova-Canillas.
