Rock Da House

DJ Jan aka Jan Van Der Staey and Filip Vandueren join forces to deliver a stomping retro themed slice on Bonzai Classics titled Rock Da House. These two veterans mark their Bonzai debut with this one and they bring over 2 decade’s worth of experience to the table. Jan started to DJ in 1988 and became the resident at Illusion in 1993. The 90’s brought much success with releases on Dance Opera as part of the Illusion team and in the 2000’s he impressed with tracks such as X-Santos. A powerhouse on the European scene with a beefy back catalogue, we’re excited he is here at BC. Filip is responsible for a plethora of hits throughout the 90’s and 2000’s. He enjoys a healthy dose of releases on Dance Opera as he was also part of the Illusion team. In 1995 he co-founded Milk Inc. and went on to release dozens of top tracks as wells as releasing almost 20 albums. Another Belgian powerhouse we’re delighted to have on board.

Rock Da House intros with a pulsating bassline groove which is joined by crispy hi hats and building percussions. Pumping kick drums come through alongside rising synths as the rhythm gathers pace and forming into a solid full on monster of a track. A short break reveals mesmerizing strings and a rising intensity as the cool classic style vocals ring out. The main break hits us with that agitated bassline and metallic percussions before the beats return with a superb trance-like gated synth melody in tow. A top notch slice with all the characteristics of a retro groove and a distinct contemporary production, not to be missed.
