The latest club smasher from the super-talented is one of those infectious tracks where the music naturally gets the crowd moving, then the vocal gets them screaming.
Let the Beats Roll was the product of an organic meeting of minds with vocalist Simon Franks which quickly snowballed into a right monster of a tune.
Yes, it is a funny one this, Tim tells us.
I had the backing track done and wasn't sure what to do try and make it into an album track or just put it out on my own label, .
If you listen to the instrumental it's not really the type of track you d put a vocal on, but Simon's vocal just works perfect. He d popped by the studio to hang out and when I played him this one he was like I gotta vibe for this, turn the mic on!
Straight away I knew it was working. We where both excited in the studio and kept working all afternoon until we got it finished.
The tune has already been picked up by a wide range of different DJs and we wager it ll be playing a large part in the largest of moments in Ibiza this summer too.
It comes complete with a funky video from director Rani Creevy, who previously gained fame with the vid for s .
Rani wanted to shoot a short film on the NY B-boy scene. He then used this idea as the basis for my video, says Tim.
Simon and I didn't want to do a Tits and Arse video, which most dance tracks have. This track is raw and has lots of energy, I think having girls running round with their tits hanging out would just be shit. We all love tits and arse, but it's just been overkill in the last 3 years.
The track is the first single from Deluxe s forthcoming LP, Ego Death, which is said to contain a tougher progression from his 2003 album , containing the uber chart smash .
The new album is mainly electronic based but has lots of organic sounds and humans playing real instruments also on it, reveals Tim. It's got quite a few dancefloor tracks but it s not all club stuff.
Listen out for a new version of his seminal UK Garage cut RIP Groove on the LP, which is coming out on Brighton s fine label, another new move for Mr. Deluxe.
I think they're a great label and a great team of people, he says of the move.
They know what they're doing and they've been there since day one. This is important as most A R people in major record companies move jobs every 2-3 years.
The versatile producer should also be back behind the decks soon too.
I think 's return to releasing material again has been wonderful, he says of his current fave tunes. , , and have all impressed me over the last year or so too.
