Five Roses EP by Moox

Think early, oldskool house music. A rawness that hits some switch in your body that makes you want to move. Sounding precisely as if unearthed from a vault of dusty 90's house records, "Five Roses EP" is a release that will make the old house heads reminisce and, for new fans, ignite a new love for the original sound of deep house.

Opening with the titular track, "Five Roses," this piece exudes a vibrant, breezy house vibe. Upbeat yet deep at the same time, on the main keyboard hook alone expect echo, reverb, resonance, and then throw in some sub bass, a phat kick-drum, and some spattered hi-hats. Now we have a track perfect for poolside lounging or daytime dance sessions.

Contrasting this with the b-side "Throw Down," Moox delves into a deeper, club-ready groove while maintaining that distinct lo-fi essence synonymous with his productions.

"Throw Down" is a track that could be filed under ghetto house, deep house, and lo-fi. A heavyweight kick and accented tom drum lay the groundwork for the bongos and a wood block snare. The off-kilter key sequence conjures a sense of some really mean house music, an oldskool rawness so seldom heard nowadays.
