DESCRIPTION:
Pumpin Bass Heavy Vocal Hooked House Monster with Josh Baker Peggy Gou & Butch On The Remix
Originally released on vinyl in 2012, H2DAIZZO quickly became one of the NYC duo’s most sought-after records, with original copies fetching over $100 on Discogs. Now widely considered a timeless club essential, this deep, minimal house cut returns via a long-awaited repress on Defected Records.
The release is further elevated by three standout remixes, each bringing a distinct perspective: Peggy Gou delivers a signature 2017 rework, slicing and reshaping the groove with her unmistakable flair; Butch injects his 2018 remix with driving, dancefloor-focused energy; and Josh Baker offers a fresh, contemporary take, rounding out the package with a modern club sensibility.
Born and raised in the Bronx, and later mentored by Dennis Ferrer, the Martinez Brothers are one of the 21st century's most successful NYC house outfits - albeit with a sound that looks as much to Europe as their home city for inspiration. Surprisingly, 'H2DAIZZO' marks their return to vinyl after three years of occasional digital releases. In its original form, the track is low-slung, sparse, analogue-rich and bleeping, as if they'd been listening to turn-of-the-90s NYC deep house jams inspired by the UK's bleep and bass scene. Josh Baker opts to make the track wilder, heavier and acid-soaked on his A-side revision, before we get two more notable revisions on the flip: a breezier, Burrell Brothers influenced deep house tweak from Peggy Gou and a tidy acid-breaks spin courtesy of Butch.
