Dutch electronic master Lupe brings you his latest slice of dancefloor joy, I Wanna Ride, available on Catz N Dogz’ label STEP Recordings.
Lupe’s music is supported by a wide range of artists such as Derrick Carter, The Blessed Madonna, Andy Butler, Tom Trago, Erol Alkan, Heidi, Honey Soundsystem, Laurent Garnier, Spencer Parker, Jason Kendig, Truncate, Catz ‘N Dogz, Lauren Flax, Boys Noiz, Shadow Child, Alinka, Shaun J. Wright and many more.
I Wanna Ride starts with a bouncing bass beat, electro agogo and a hypnotic bass synth, joined by green velvet attack snares and a pet shop keyboard line. The spoken word vocals, sultry and seductive are perfect for this sleazebanger of a track. Close your eyes and you’re transported directly to the late-night dancefloor. A former go-go dancer, Lupe knows how to make music that you can dance to.
Lupe explains: ‘After I used classic Roland DX sounds on many of my tracks (e.g.Size Queen), I wanted to tweak the DX to get it to sound new and alien to me! 80s smash Sensuous Woman Goes Disco by Jackmaster Dick, was a big inspiration for I Wanna Ride. I love a good sauce of hysteria on all my tracks. It is what makes it memorable. I don’t get out of bed for less.’
As a former go-go dancer, I don’t make music for people to stand around holding drinks to. I test every beat against my own body—if I’m not moving, it doesn’t make the cut.
Another part of my personality is that I love to research, from rare movies to cratedigging for music of course, and also love to research for lesser known sample sources like I did for this track.
‘My intention is to always make the most dancefloor mayhem with a minimum of ingredients: timing, tweaking and teasing!’
