Break Your Heart EP by Kidislive

San Diego-born Kidislive launches his own new label with a trio of warm and song-driven deep house cuts on Break Your Heart EP.

Mad Motel is the brainchild of Derek Kamm, aka Kidislive, an American producer raised on Long Island who has been DJing and producing for almost 20 years. He has previously worked with Wareika and Henrik Schwarz on Visionquest and ran his own Local Raider Records, but now branches out with a new project which will combine music and visuals in the world of micro house, minimal techno, and experimental electronica.

Opener "Break Your Heart" is a sultry deep house sound with painterly pads sinking you into a late-night mood. The soulful vocals drift as soft melodic refrains heighten the emotions, and the supple drums roll on. It's a gorgeous and sophisticated start, then "Ussy Bop" brings a more playful rhythm.

The bass is languid with euphoric trumpets bursting out of the mix and hip-swinging grooves getting any party going. "Monsters R Us" is a fulsome sound with a cavernous, dubby, solo motion groove that comes alive with deft percussion, distant melodic motifs, and Balearic pianos. It's an emotionally resonant sound designed to warm dancers to their core.
