Eldon – Booty Shaker EP [Four Thirty Two]

Liverpudlian DJ/producer Eldon racks up an irresistibly infectious release for Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two label that, as its title suggests, will literally have backsides shuffling! The ‘Booty Shaker’ EP is Eldon’s debut for Ahmed’s on-point imprint and comes backed with a remix from the Godfather of the Ghetto Trax sound, DJ Deeon.

Already notching up impressive releases for Solardo’s Sola label, and with records in the pipeline for Patrick Topping’s Trick, and Steve Lawler’s Viva imprint, Eldon shakes his stuff over three brand new cuts on the ‘Booty Shaker’ EP.

Title track ‘Booty Shaker’ does what it says on the tin, with aplomb! A prime-time slice of jackin’ Chi-town house, its drums pound hard and raw, with a great vocal hook to boot. In a nod to the Booty Shaker’s inspirational roots, DJ Deeon, the originator of the sound, and producer behind countless Dance Mania classics, strips things back further, stretching out his rework to over eight-minutes of full Techfunk workout.

‘Blow’ maintains the energy levels with another propulsive jacker laced with choppy vocal refrains and twisted synth sirens, whilst ‘Show That’ closes this assured release with another slab of ass-whooping, four to the floor, bumpin’ house.
