Westside Angel - Queen Of Sorrow (Original Mix)

The Queen Of Sorrow is the third release from my new deep house and garage project, Westside Angel, having previously released a series of nu disco tracks under my previous moniker, Westlake72.It is Inspired by my love of 90’s New York and New Jersey house music and the London UKG scene that followed, as well as my experience remixing Detroit legend Rick Wade for my Depth Charge: Westlake72 Remixes e.p that was released on Swedish Brandy Productions.

Queen Of Sorrow features heavily swung and bumpin’ beats, an upfront bass, and jazz infused organ stabs that set off a classic vocal that is both melancholic and sultry. The second track on the release, The Girl With Child In Her Eyes, ploughs a similar musical path and features another classic vocal finessed with the sweet sound of some soulful sax. Both Tracks feel very much part of the new wave of garage house.

Westlake72 EP out now on Sirsounds Records!

Dan Westlake, aka Westlake72, is a London based producer, DJ, and conceptual artist. Westlake spent the 90's promoting his own house and disco nights at venues such as'The Brain' club in London's Soho, before moving behind the decks towards the end of the decade to spin an eclectic mixture of disco, funk, and boogie in both London and New York, including a summer residency at the legendary Lower East Side DJ haunt The Lotus Lounge. Westlake's sound borrows liberally from the history of dance music, merging disco,boogie and classic house elements to create his own contemporary sound palette. He namechecks 80's NYC post-disco producers Darryl Payne, Paul Simpson and Patrick Adams as his key influences.
His first EP on Sirsounds Records shows he talent and love for timeless music.
Apres Ski has been remixed by Tonbe.

The Junior Park Allstars debut release!

Friday 16 November 2018

The Weekend E.P by the Junior Park Allstars

Junior Park Allstars is the new NuDisco project from Westlake72 inspired by the halcyon post-disco sounds of early 1980s NYC's warm summer days and even hotter nights...
Kicking of with When Ur X Wants U Back - a soulful female vocal plays out over a rolling post-disco DMX drum groove that evokes Cheryl Lynn's Jam & Lewis Produced boogie classic Encore. An arpeggiated, new wave style, bassline provides a nicely contrasting middle eight section. More DMX action follows on The Weekend - a Jellybean Benitez inspired Latin freestyle groove. Imagine a young Madonna Louise Ciccone, all faded 501s and jangling bracelets, dancing with wild abandon on a night out at the Funhouse in 1983 and you'll get the picture!
We switch to the classic 808 sounds of early electro and freestyle to round things of with I Can't Take The Heartache! Here a compelling bassline, insistent cowbells, Juno-60 stabs, and a furious female lead are juxtaposed with a deep and soulful chord progression.
