Serge Santiago 'Ear Racer’ (Jack Said What)

Out Now on all platforms
https://bfan.link/ear-racer-1

The first release on the new Jack Said What label accelerates out of the traps. ‘Ear Racer’ by Serge Santiago is an infectious house track that owes more than a hint of debt to the Italo sound that Serge lost himself in during the noughties — a sound that has come swishing back round to being in-vogue again.

Propelled by a burbling topline that bounces around like a ball on a bagatelle board, ‘Ear Racer’ contains some peeps for the whistle posse, piano house chords to ignite a dancefloor, and a couple of dreamy, swirly breakdowns. The track is well named — it’s not so much an ‘earworm’ as an ‘ear racer’, providing electric impetus to transport you elsewhere. 

Serge Santiago has been half of some memorable duos in his time — Radio Slave, Retro/Grade, Waze & Odyssey — but his new solo material signals a fresh chapter for the Brighton-based DJ/producer. Removed from any necessity to compromise, Serge has crafted an album of top-drawer dancefloor gear that he’s serendipitously calling ’11:11’. Released in the autumn, ‘Ear Racer’ is the first single to be taken from that album, while Serge has also rebooted the events brand, Stompa Phunk, he co-founded. There have already been some off-the-hook Stompa Phunk parties at assorted Brighton venues in the past year, with plenty more to come.

It’s going to be a busy second half of 2022 for the highly respected DJ/producer, and look out for a lot more releases coming this year via Jack Said What too.

Serge Santiago ‘You Got Me’ (Jack Said What)

’You Got Me’ is the track everyone thinks they know, except they haven’t even heard it yet. It’s a much-needed injection of positivity. It’s for hugging your besties on the dancefloor. It’s looking out for your pals. It’s tops-off cuddles down the front. It’s jumping up and down and laughing. It’s about community. It’s for making sure your crew are all ok.

Hot on the heels of ‘Ear Racer’, his Italo-tinged first single for Jack Said What, comes this summery monster from Serge Santiago. It’s not even out yet, but already feels like a timeless anthem.

‘You Got Me’ oozes goodtime summer vibes. Think: French touch. Think: Bangalter. Think: DJ Koze. Think: Glitterbox. Think: glamour. Think: inclusivity. Think: confetti. Think: Alan Braxe & Fred Falke. Think: you are amazing.

‘You Got Me’ is the serotonin rush that you need in your life. ‘You Got Me’ is love. ‘You Got Me’ is life. ‘You Got Me’ is the sound of summer.

The third single from Serge Santiago for Jack Said What is a collaboration with label bossman Irvine Welsh. “Everyone’s talking about acid house,” Irvine intones in his inimitable Scottish accent. The Trainspotting author recorded an exclusive monologue about a night out on ecstasy for Serge’s forthcoming album ’11:11’, which Serge then cut up in the studio for ‘Rave Dance’. The result is a unique, quirky club track that will undoubtedly find favour on many late-night dancefloors.
