Shake That

Los Angeles based producer Mikey V delivers 'Shake That' via Sampled Detroit featuring three original tracks. California's Mikey V has carved out an impressive back catalogue over the past five years with his distinctive jacking house sound finding a home on imprints such as Luke Solomon and Derrick Carter's The Classic Music Company and Claude Von Stroke's Dirtybird. Here though we see Mikey mark a welcome return to Chuck Daniels Sampled Detroit imprint following his 'FYI' release on the label back in early 2015. Across the package Mikey delivers his signature robust house style with opening track 'Shake That' employing rugged rhythms, resonant snaking synth leads and an amalgamation of intricately processed vocal chops to create a unique spin on contemporary house music. 'Take Me Over' follows and opts for a more refined rhythmic approach while shining light on a vacillating sub bass hook, fluttering synth stabs and soft pad swells while infectious vocal stylings run throughout. Finally closing the package is 'Vain', again revisiting a raw and energetic drum style alongside hypnotic vocal lines and frenetic synth blips, furthermore shaping up the 'Shake That' EP as an exciting and idiosyncratic addition to the Sample catalogue.
