EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Kikumoto Allstars - House Music (Radio Edit)

Cam Farrar makes no bones about his retro-informed musical ambitions: this Aussie DJ/producer wants to make house music using same equipment and mold as the genre's founding fathers. Citing Chicago's Larry Heard and Marshall Jefferson as key influences and naming his project Kikumoto Allstars after the engineer who created the Roland 808s, 909s and 707s, Farrar's seriousness translates well in tracks like "House Music" from his debut EP for DJ Hell's International Deejay Gigolo Records. Behind frantic, twitching vocals repeating the tracks' title fizzes bold synth stabs and cheerful piano chords that whisk dancers onto the floor. Farrar may focus on the past, but his EP keeps new house music in focus in the present.

Sounds like: Mike Dunn, Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, DJ Hell
