Short Bus Kids and Bounce House Recordings are back and ready to kick off 2010 with an EP of the deep, funky, jacking, and techy house goodness that they have made a name for. The duo of DK Watts and Lance Leber, based in Amsterdam and San Francisco respectively, have had a fantastic 2009 with the highlight being an article in iDJ which tipped them as ‘The Month’s Hottest Underground Talent’ and stated they are “…some of the best current providers of bumpin’, west-coast-meets east Midlands deep house…”. And if the ‘He’s On The Prowl EP’ is anything to go by, 2010 is looking even better already! Three tracks by the Kids are accompanied by ‘Say No’ on which DK Watts again uses his relocation to Amsterdam to team up with Mike L, a highly regarded member of the city’s dance music scene and recent collaborator with the SBKs on ‘Things Are Changing’.
In the ‘Kids’’ own words:
He's On The Prowl: “The EP title track takes a ride towards the minimal tip, but with a touch of soul. The layered synths and chords keep this track grooving along in true Short Bus Kids' style druggy house.”
Bless the Funk: “We get back to our jackin' ways. The old school bassline should take a few heads back to the mid-1990s.”
Do You Wanna?: “This track has all the right ingredients for the underground: funk, tech and deep layers. This one does some serious damage on the dance floor.”
Say No: “Once again we team up with Mike L. for some deep, techy and tribal madness. This is a serious track designed for the main room.”
Short Bus Kids productions are inspired by the deep rooted dance music culture of San Francisco; the duo vow to stay true to those roots in their music despite DK Watts’ move to Europe. In the studio, the Short Bus Kids strive for tracks loaded with “lots of funk, soul and a little something extra.” With over 50 releases to their name on labels such as Greenhouse, Prismatic, Not So Fast and their own Bounce House, as well licenses to huge imprints like Germany’s Soulstar and an ever growing fanbase, the bus these guys ride shows no sign of stopping!
Bounce House Recordings was established in June 2005 by DK Watts and Lance Leber. The label strives to emulate the diverse cultural makeup of their home city and its party-goers. The label’s aims are relatively straight-forward; to spread their sound and become a staple in the sets of house music lovers around the world. Label founders DK and Lance sum up the label: “Bounce is what you feel when you are blissfully lost on the dance floor. House is your own personal sanctuary for that vibe. It’s all about the music, the love, and most of all, the people.”
