EDM.com Presents: The House Brew, Vol. 11
“It Knows” – Sven Lochenhoer Sven Lochenhoer’s It Knows EP is a nod to the 2005 origins of Dirtybird: left-field, wonky house music. Crafted for the club, the titular track blends piano melodies, warped chords and warm basslines. “It Was Misunderstood” – Tal Fussman Innervisions’ Secret Weapons series is chock full of dancefloor-smashing house and techno curated by label heads Dixon and Âme. The 14th edition arrives armed with “It Was Misunderstood,” a particularly lethal tune by Tal Fussman. “Majboor” – SIDD Sampling a famous Noor Jehan song on “Majboor,” SIDD continues his streak of tech house with a Pakistani touch.

Take a listen to “The Attention Deficit Track” below. Scroll to Continue Recom...
