Joeski 'Clap Yo Handz' (Defected)
Joeski is a veteran who started playing house parties in Queens way back in 1989 and later performed at raves with the likes of Louie Vega and Roger Sanchez during his residency at New York’s legendary The Roxy nightclub. Throw in past releases on the likes of Siesta, Chez, Electrik Soul and Tango as well as his recent collaboration with Harry Romero for Defected, and it’s clear he’s earned his stripes. His new track ‘Clap Yo Handz’ is a self-assured slice of solid house with vocals from E-Man and a shuffling groove, while the dub version on the flip is a more straight-up affair thanks to its walking bassline and shimmering pianos.
