Eliza Knight - Fall for the Book Podcast

Deep House Flappers

Flapper Vocals Bonus Tracks— a high-voltage fusion of vintage big-band swagger and modern club-floor muscle. Akiva David and the Velvet Vice Orchestra pull you straight into the backroom of a Prohibition-era speakeasy, where the poker chips clink, the dice roll hot, and the gin flows faster than the beat.

Layered in Dolby Atmos for a full 360° experience, the track slams White Mink–style electro-swing grooves against roaring brass riffs, Fitzgerald-style scat vocals, and pounding EDM drops. It’s the soundtrack to a night where fortunes change with the turn of a card, champagne corks pop like snare hits, and every wink across the table is a high-stakes gamble.

From the whispered crooner intro to the all-in, brass-blasting finale, this is speakeasy decadence pushed to the absolute limit — a celebration of the reckless, the glamorous, and the gloriously drunk.
