There's a growing demand for classic house and techno grooves in the underground electronic scene. The success of Disclosure's electro-throwback, Settle, last year is a testament to that. Like the popular UK duo, Ra-Soul steers clear of all the ear-splitting EDM noises, and instead thumps deep basslines, with soulful vocals on top of it, just like what all the '90s raver kids were tripping out on ecstasy to back in the day—only Ra-Soul's production is infinitely better and his beats are funkier. Ra-Soul's been a longtime local producer since the early '90s, and even teamed up with 3rd Floor Productions for a while. He's been bumping dance floors ever since. (Aaron Carnes)
