February: 16 house releases you need to hear this month
Red Rack 'Em, Mr. G, Paul Woolford and more
Omni AM 'Beat Dis/Dangerous' (Euphoria Records)
This re-release gives us another chance to enjoy these two cuts from US duo Omni AM all over again. As soon as you hear the wailing guitar intro of ‘Beat Dis’, you know it’s going to be different – and then the two-step broken beat kicks in with a gravelly basline, hip house samples and muted vocal snips. If you’re looking for a track that will help change the mood of your set, this would be an excellent choice, and it’s easy to see why it’s won plaudits from Derrick Carter and Terry Francis, among others. Second cut ‘Dangerous’, meanwhile, is bubbling tech house with swagger.
