Tech House with a twist, a creative revisioning of the electronic dance realm – a brilliantly intense beat, distorted bass and riffs at the forefront, and a classic hip hop vocal and groove interwoven alongside. Shawn Matthew crafts a catchy anthem of a modern house track, with the genre-fusing addictive energy of Work To The Beat.
Somewhat timeless in its balancing of the quirky title and jingle and something a little more alternative, the late-night floor-filler intensity of Work To The Beat counters the looping vocal fragment in a likable way.
Shawn Matthew has had viral hits in the past with the likes of his breakthrough spoof The DJ Diet, and as such, his understanding of how important creativity, playfulness, and audience awareness are proves clear throughout this latest track. It’s an old-school approach but with a clear level of weight and detail to the mix, and in terms of the current house and electronic dance scenes, there’s undeniably a sense of identity and character to all things Shawn Matthew.
