If you're embroiled in the current house and techno scenes, then it is quite likely that you've heard of The Youngsters. I'd never paid much attention to them because they always seemed a bit too electro for my tastes, but after being given their newest EP to review, I realized that I might have been wrong all of these years. The Phoenix EP, on Ovum, is a nice slice of summery goodness-- the title track is a hip-shaking tech-house number that utilizes hi-frequency, spacey keys and female vocals to create an Ibizan early-morning atmosphere. In some ways a throwback to progressive synth sounds of yesteryear, the track is nonetheless incredibly satisfying, with deep kicks and hand-claps propelling it into the listener's ear. Sometimes reminding me of Lindstrom, oddly enough, I highly recommend kicking back to this track with a cool beverage. Aaah.
The Youngsters- Phoenix
Tomorrow, an old-school house track that I've been jamming on.
