Electronic Pop | House
Solid, solid electronic track for summer. Esser (aka Ben Esser) is a one man schmorgesborg of music. Mixing a little dub, a pince of glitch, some ska, and wrapping the whole into a electronic pop wrapper — just perfect! This track is taken from Esser’s full lenth, “Braveface”.

Going back to the crates on this one, back in 1995 when electronica started to get darker and edgier came along Ruby. They had a great first outing with their debut release, “Salt Peter”. Ruby was the partnership of Lesley Rankine and Mark Walk. Lesley is currently on hiatus in her home country of Scotland, while Mark Walk currently resides in LA and is producing music for TV and Film. I hope Lesley will return and grace us with her vocals on some much needed new tunes. I can’t tell you home many times I listened to “Salt Peter” on CD. Lesley has a certain Growl to her voice that just cuts.
Paul De Homem-Christo newest project sees him teaming up with Leslie Ming from Denmark. Their new out fit is called, “Ryskee”. Paul De Homem-Christo is also the brother of Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo (one half of Daft Punk), and has used several aliases such as: Dark One, The Migrants, and Play Paul to name a few.
This particular track has a cool retro synth vibe with fun loving vocals from Leslie.
