Simon Houser – “Pura Vida EP”

We are proud to finally release this fabulous EP from Seattle DJ/Producer Simon Houser!

Pura Vida (Original Mix) is an absolutely gorgeous track that is pumping right out of the gate with filtered drums and delayed synths.  It flows nicely into a smooth, grooving tune with South American vibes of lush, echoed vocals and guitars atop stomping tribal drums. Pura Vida originated as a more dance heavy, tech house tune.  Hector Rodriguez and Simon Houser collaborated to breathe new life into the original, ending up with an easily recognizable and memorable dance floor mover that will easily get stuck in dancers heads.

Pura Vida (Dub Mix) is a variation of the original, with some of the vocals removed for those DJ’s that want to focus on the intoxicating groove and warm, driving percussion of this danceable tune.

It’s Getting Deep is thoroughly chunky, deep, and throbbing.  It gradually builds to a hypnotic break, full of spacey fills and vocal delays.  It keeps the undulating pads and adds strings to build tension as it keeps driving along with techy percussion and low end warmth.

Changes is full of funky snippets of piano, guitar, and textured synths along with vocal chopped bits.  This glitchy, bouncy house track picks up the pace as it progresses through in a constant evolution of sounds.

Junkies has a booming, broken drum groove combined with pulsing tones that blend into a dirty house groover.  Percussive, layered and cheeky as it drops into a bass bending break that comes back with a vengeance.
