Philco, an artist whose square footage in classic house sounds has been growing slowly over the last few years, gets cozy on his latest, "King of the 909."
Sampling the riches of O.G. house music standards, Phico's "King of the 909" places emphasis on tried and true elements and working them to match his aesthetic - usually a heavy, rolling bassline, natural feeling kicks, and crisp highs. Like an architect, he builds from the ground up starting with simplistic 4/4 patterns before moving into the meaty structural bits: laying on complementary melodies and vocal samples that recall early 90s warehouse vibes.
Philco has always been a producer who dwells comfortably in the spirit of the underground and allowing grooves to marinate and live. By declaring himself "The King of the 909," he finally lives up to his potential as a tastemaker and authentic groove chaser.
