Corey James vs. Rob & Jack – Freak [Flamingo Recordings]
Fedde le Grand and Funkerman‘s Flamingo Recordings just released a five-track Ibiza 2016 EP, but there really is just one track that you really need from it. It comes from Brit Corey James and Swedes Rob & Jack. They bring powerful and funky house vibes from start to finish on “Freak”. This record can appeal to those who like to sing along, but also to those who just like to close their eyes and dance. The producers keep the focus on a very catchy vocal loop that gives the track its name, and continuously drives the track onward. Beneath the vocals is one of the best basslines to come out in 2016. It sits properly on the border between traditional house and future house, which keeps the funky mood going and has an infectious spirit to it. This combination results in a highly versatile track that will have useful applications well beyond this Ibiza season. Corey James and Rob & Jack were clearly on the same page during the “Freak” production process, and have very bright futures in their own rites going forward.
