Dosem is a synonym for solid productions, deep, soulful House and Techno music, and DJ sets that connect with the audience on a primal level. As his reputation continues to grow, the natural choice is to create an outlet for his music that gives him total creative freedom and a meaning to express what makes him such a highly respected and revered artist. As a result, Dosem is proud to present the birth of his new label project Houstrike.
 
At its core, Houstrike is a label that will exclusively focus on releasing Dosem’s own work, as well as a place for others to collaborate with him and remix his own originals, creating something of a Dosem-themed music lab, exploring a wider spectrum of electronic music genres beyond club music.
 
What matters most to Dosem are the mantras and values of the label. Both soul and passion are key to the project, from the music itself, through all the visual layouts. The ascending line represents the connection between mental and emotional states, from preparation, to action. His first EP “Untold Stories” is the calling card to a label where the link between sound and image are the key of a soundtrack made to listen, feel and dance.

The masterful Budakid is back on Exploited with two beautiful tracks.
A spellbinding, slow-burning slice of melodic-tinged house music, ‘Ringo Bingo’ has shades of Todd Terje in its spacious arrangement, rolling groove and gorgeous riffage. An electro arpeggio percolates over the throbbing bass tones; heavily reverbed percussive hits create atmosphere; and nagging piano chords build a tense melodic backbone. The cute lead melody is at once euphoric and melancholy, and a stunning synth solo in the mid-section adds some dazzling freestyle energy that really opens the track.

‘’Ringo Bingo’ is for me a travel between fusion, club and a glimpse of electronic jazz” says the man behind the track. “I n the break I asked an old friend of mine — Rolf van de Sande, with whom I used to play in a band — to come up with a jazzy and extraordinary solo. He totally nailed it. I wrote the arrangement in the end around the solo, and let the groove take over the focus at the climax to get more of a dance feel to it. This is one of the tracks that was a pain in the ass to finish and mix because it was full of harmonies and melodies. But I thought "If Snarky Puppy can do it, I can try to do it..."

‘Aku Aku’ goes deeper still, with lush strings decking out a light arrangement where shuffling percussion and dreamy, crystalline chime melodies flit across the surface. The chimes are seamlessly bolstered by live bass guitar, doubling the melody up a treat, with splashes of percussive texture here and there bringing a little extra spice. A few piano chords later on are all that are needed to complete this sublime track.

"Aku Aku" is more of a dubby groove based track where I tried to use only a few elements. A hallucinogenic melody that's very repetitive, but easy on the ear due to its polyrhythm and harmony. Once a friend listened to it and said "Kevin, this sounds like an old 00's game". I totally agreed, so one of my favourite game characters was an inspiration for the name.”

Budakid - Aku Aku I Exploited

We kick off a new sporadic series under the "Rewerked" banner - a range of releases from Framewerk reworking some forgotten progressive house gems.
"Metropolis" gets us under way and takes us down a path of progressive breaks, fully armed with deep reece bass, stuttered strings, shimmering arps and that oh so classic vocal... A real crossover production to put smiles on faces and perhaps add a few reminiscent feelings :)

The exploration of the deeper side of techno by Dosem, since busting onto the scene almost 10 years ago, has seen him clock up countless air miles, release a string of hit club tracks and earn accolades from many of his peers, who deem him to be one of the most influential underground Spanish DJs in the scene today. The demand for Dosem's infusion of deep textured sounds, relentless precision drums and driving rhythms which make up his club cuts that are making dance floors shake the world over shows no sign of slowing.
