When I first received the promo for this 6 track release by Irish producer The Cyclist, I wasn't sure if the track "Hot House" was meant to sound the way it does.
It comes with heavy background noise, a lot of distortion and a 'distant' feel. However, after I kept listening it became clear everything in this production happens on purpose. The 'technique' if you will, transported me into a time of oversaturated tape recordings of unforgettable underground parties and club nights.

Plus, I'm a sucker for dubby tunes. MUST LISTEN!

The Hot House EP is now available on 12" and digital download on the music/is/for/losers label.

My wife and her friend pointed out the original of this tune to me before it even turned into a hit on the "50 Shades Of Grey" soundtrack and I thought there's potential to make it 'housey' ..

I tried a few things and what you can hear, stuck .. The Weeknd "Earned It (Lars Behrenroth Dark Edit)"
Simple, dirty and quick .. Not quite a remix, more an edit w/ an added kick drum and bassline.

A few of my DJ friends and myself have been playing it since WMC Miami and now you can, too! I hear it gets some nice reactions all over the world.
