New Jersey's finest returns to Ovum alias free. Having been contractually locked down in 2011Harry Romero's previous Philly outing came under his secretive Vaggio pseudonym. The air of mystery surrounding the artist frustrated and excited in equal measure and yet refreshingly freed the EP of any preconceptions. This was after all a debut release, right? The response was overwhelming and lit the touchpaper for what was soon to be Harry's return to his beloved raw house beats.

Those trademark drums were in full effect again at the tale end of last year with the release of 'The Butcher' on Circus Recordings. Meaty by name and nature the ep confirmed that Harry had lost none of his trademark Latin-infused swing. A trait also at the forefront of his 'You Get Deep' EP. 

Sondos beats abound on the relentless Casino as Harry messes with our minds, chopping and twisting the Hammond to create a roof-raising warehouse anthem on this release.

The new tracks serve up a full Romero menu with Get Deep displaying a groove-heavy swing and a spritely arpeggiated synth that dances throughout. Not Yet lets rip with its scything beats and a twisted rubbery baseline that will provoke an erotic response from the floor.

We want to welcome Harry Romero to Suara for the very first time. The American producer has teamed up with fellow american house legend Joeski for a two track EP.

"When You Touch Me" is a nod to the glory days of acid with a modern flare for today's dance floors. We are very proud to have both Harry and Joeski together on Suara and if that weren't enough we have techno legend Christian Smith on remix duties for 'When you touch me' showing us why he's at the top of his game.

[Suara 143] Harry Romero & Joeski - Choose One (Original Mix) Snippet

Marcelo Castelli - Quimera (Gusatvo Bravetti remix)
Out Now! on Beatport http://beatport.com/s/t8dFFt

I used my brand new Glove MIDI controller to drive synthesis and fx over the main percussive synth :)

Quimera (Gustavo Bravetti rmx)

I did produce this track specially for the Tribaltech 2009 SC edition, it was inspired on the classic piece by the baroque composser Henry Purcell (century XVIII), "The Funeral Of Queen Mary". As usual all synthesizers and fx was made using only Ableton stuff, this time Operator, Analog, and Tension was used to create all synths and effects.
      
      Thanks for listening.
      Gustavo

Seems like the natural progression in todays climate for a successful artist to launch their own Record Label. With the year that Pig&Dan have been enjoying, it seems like to perfect moment for them to introduce, ONOLOG. 2011 has been a naturally hectic year for the duo. Release and remixes for the likes of Parquet, Traum and Terminal M have impressed, whilst the summer also saw the release of "Then & Now", Pig&Dan's new artist album on Yoshitoshi. The double disc release saw the boys present an array of new material backed by a revisit to some of their classic remixes. Revisiting is the order of the day on ONOLOG 001, as the boys kick things off in style and invite some of their closest friends and favourite producers to present their own visions of Pig&Dan's work. A impressive package of names it is too, and leading from the front is Herzblut boss Stephan Bodzin who turns in an epic rework of "Love Song." Also remixing "Love Song", Uruguay's Gustavo Bravetti brings the bounce and emotive breakdown, whilst Sweden's techno don Samuel L Session excites with a touch of acidic and atmospheric techno. Greek producer Mihalis Safras continues his impressive 2011 with a funky-tech revision of "Hooked" and closing the package are the MiniCoolBoyz who unleash their rage on "La Teta." A vast selection of mixes and a impressive debut from ONOLOG!

CB 133 - Shin Nishimura

Having recently graced the 'I'm A House Gangster' podcast, Russian underground house star Tripmastaz now delivers an EP for the newly launched IAHG label.  In true House Gangster style it's all about the real jacking roots of Chi-town and further shows why labels such as Be As One, Moon Harbour, Cecille and Magnetic have all got down with the Tripmastaz sound.  Three versions of the lead track Who's Talkin are backed by additional cuts 37th Chamber and Gangsta Beatz.

Gangsta Beatz

TRIPMASTAZ | WHO'S TALKIN (ORIGINAL RAW MIX) | I'M A HOUSE GANGSTER | IAHG002

Some artists come with a pedigree that most can only dream of.  Harry 'Choo Choo' Romero is one such artist and we couldn't be happier to have him as part of the I'm A House Gangster family.  Harry has been at the top of his game for more than 15 years - as one of the founding fathers and most prolific artists on Subliminal Records he has raised the bar for prime time dance floor anthems again and again.  From his monster club hits ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ (also a top 40 crossover hit on the UK pop charts), ‘Night at the Black’, and ‘Tania’, to his remixes for Maroon 5, Korn, and Basement Jaxx, the accolades have poured in as Harry continues to push the sound of House forward.

The majority of Harry's output continues to be released on Subliminal and it's sister labels, so the I'm A House Gangster appearance is a rare outing away from home turf.  The the tracks on 'Back From Saturn' show three different sides, all representing the roots of house.  'Greens' is a jacking, filtered affair with references some of house music's links to hip hop - straight in line with chief House Gangster DJ Sneak's approach to House.  'Nasa' has a gritty synth hook that nods to both Detroit and UK acid house, while 'NYC Deep' reflects the sound of the big apple and the deep-soulful sounds of Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer et al.

We asked Harry to give us the lowdown on the project:

"For me this project is all about getting back to the basics and returning to the style of music that got me into making house music. It's about a basic groove and messing with the frequencies that makes all these tracks. There's a beauty in the simplicity of the production that gets lost in creating these big room mass appeal tracks and that's why for me it's very important to rediscover the pure and basic essence of proper house music. The premise in it's simplicity gives the DJ plenty of room to add his or her vibe to the tracks. I come from a school where we didn't just blend tracks together but we remixed on the fly. That's why it was important for me to keep parts of the canvas empty so the DJ has room to add their own stroke of the brush. Creating these tracks was really a playback of some of the experiences I have had through the years around the world. It's about recreating a special memory from yesterday and doing it in a forward approach.

"I would describe the House Gangster sound as pure groove. Not overdone. The few basic sounds the music contains is all you need to get your point across. It adheres to no formula and evokes a vibe from the days when this music was new and cutting edge. Everything is based around the beats. It's the antithesis to what is now called EDM, which is basically repackaged trance.

"What's special about this EP for me is working with Sneak because to me he has been a huge influence. Also, reacquainting myself with an audience that has done so much for me. HOUSE MUSIC FOR EVER!"

Back From Saturn

HARRY ROMERO | GREENS | I'M A HOUSE GANGSTER | IAHG003

Harry Romero: "What does house music mean to me? How do you describe something that is in your DNA? It's my first language."

And with that fine introduction, we are honoured and rather excited to welcome undisputed House legend Harry Romero to the Gangstercast.   Harry has been at the top of his game for more than 15 years - as one of the founding fathers and most prolific artists on Subliminal Records, as well as the creator too many cross-over and underground hits to mention, he has raised the bar for prime time dance floor anthems again and again. He also just released the awesome 3 track EP 'Back From Saturn' on our very own I'm A House Gangster label.

We asked Harry about his Gangstercast: "This mix represents me as an artist because at the root of me is Chicago, NY, NJ, London, and Paris. The music I play can be attributed in one way or another to these seminal places that have been a huge part of the development of me and house music.  The tracks chosen were to showcase the "BACK FROM SATURN" EP. Two of the three tracks are in the mix and it was important for me to paint a picture of what I would want to hear on a night out. It's not about hands in the air here, but it's more about getting back to dancing - isn't that part of the reason we go to night clubs?"

This ethos reflects the Harry Romero that can be found behind the decks all over the world every weekend: "The best form of flattery for me as a DJ is to have the people dancing. yes, hands in the air are cool too but it's all about sweating on the dancefloor."

Onto matters of what being a House Gangster is all about and Harry is down with the cause: "What House Gangster means to me is standing behind what you believe and staying the course no matter what. It means not selling yourself short or following the status quo. It means staying true to the essence of house music... the vibe and not the fashion. I would describe the House Gangster sound as pure groove. Not overdone. The few basic sounds the music contains is all you need to get your point across - it could be just a kick and a high hat but that kick and high hat is all you need to get that vibe across. It adheres to no formula and evokes a vibe from the days when this music was new and cutting edge. Everything is based around the beats. It's the antithesis to what is now called EDM, which is basically repackaged trance."
