The White Lamp | Ride With You EP
Hotflush ‘s first release of 2014 brings a handful of first-time contributors to the label…
UK-based duo The White Lamp , a collaboration between Darren Emerson and vocalist Peter Josef, follow up their soulful single “Make It Good” from last year with a moody sexy slow-burning anthemic tech house ballad “Ride With You.” Like “Make It Good” , “Ride With You” draws me in with its contagiously catchy melodic humming from Josef. “Ride With You” has less of a soulful disco flavour than “Make It Good” , and instead bears strong hints of new wave pop. In terms of the vibe, it reminds me of George Fitzgerald’s recent single “Magnetic” out on Double Six .
In addition to an extended dub by Emerson, the release also includes remixes from Berlin-based trio ItaloJohnson and Mike Dehnert . Each of the remixers strips away the pop feel of the song structure and vocal phrasing and delivers a distinctive dance-floor functionalist re-interpretation.
Ride With You drops January 27th. It will be available in digital format as well as on wax in limited quantities. Here is a little preview…
