Low Steppa - Raw Cuts Vol. 1 EP

Low Steppa is a name that should need no introduction on freshdrops, as we have featured a number of his tracks already.  And there's a good reason for that - he is a producer that continues to kill it, track after track. He has been teasing that he would be doing a free download through his Facebook and Instagram accounts for the past while, and followed through yesterday with three banging house tracks that feature the signature Low Steppa bass/house/garage style. 

There's really no need to wax on about this little EP, just dive in there and listen to it, and hit the download button on all the tracks either before or after... It really doesn't matter, since it's pretty much inevitable that you'll be downloading them anyway.

Room 2 - Sexy Sumo

I recently came across an artist out of Austin, Texas who is working hard on keeping the old school house vibe alive here in North America - Room 2. The contemporary take on old school house is evident in some of his past work such as Undertones, That One Time, and Stella. Obviously not one to simply regurgitate old ideas, Room 2 has made use of the classic and recognizable sounds from old school house, garage and deep house and worked them into high energy contemporary house pieces that pay tribute back to the older vibes.  If you haven't checked his Soundcloud page for his back catalogue, I highly recommend you check it out.

I came across Sexy Sumo in my stream while working on something else, and did a double take.  This is fresh stuff - future house production that still maintains some of that old school flavour. There's also that oh so recognizable "whoop" included as well for good measure. My other feel good moment in this one comes in at 3:05, with a filter back in. Just short enough to not lose the vibe, but just enough variation to get your neck hair standing.  Sexy Sumo by Room 2 has energy bursting from the seams, make sure you stream it while you can, as I've been informed it may not stay up for long, hopefully making its way to release soon. I can only hope, as I'd love to spin this one.
