New Audio: James Juke Shares a Euphoric House Banger

gome is a Hamburg-based DJ and producer duo that has developed a crowd-pleasing sound that blends 90s house with touches of funk, disco and soul. As live performers, they favor a strict hardware setup: The German pair are actual musicians, along with being producers — and they’re unafraid to incorporate live instruments like keyboards, guitars, bass or their own vocals during live performances at clubs.

They’re also the founders of newly-minted Hamburg-based label snackwax, a label that specializes in a delectable sounds and a flavorsome approach to house music. The label’s third release, the recently release Vital Organ EP is by emerging, New York-based electronic music artist and producer James Juke. The EP reveals a versatile and creative artist, who can craft club bangers with a remarkable self-assuredness and an unerring knack for catchy hooks.

The EP’s opening track, EP title track “Vital Organ” features a slick, 90s house-inspired production featuring thumping and skittering beats, a sinuous, dance floor friendly groove and glistening organ-like synth arpeggios paired with a soulful, Baptist preacher-like vocal sample and euphoria-inducing hooks. If this track doesn’t make you get up out of your seat and dance, then you’re probably either dead or soulless.
