Son of 8 have announced the release of their new EP titled ‘Tech Vibes’ on their label 8 House Records, which came out yesterday.

After two much-acclaimed releases, 8 House Records have already been making a reputation for themselves in the underground house scene.

Son of 8 have now decided to make their mark themselves with two catchy house records on their new EP.
“Good Times” and “Your Love Keeps Lifting Me” stay true to the duo’s house roots and are both groovy, disco-influenced numbers.

Son of 8’s productions have been getting a lot of attention recently and has seen them climb into the Traxsource top 50. They have also been backed by well-known artists such as Graeme Park, Vanilla Ace and Andi Durrant.
They have utilised the iconic vocal hook as well as the title from Chic’s track ‘Good Times’ for their opening track and it definitely stays true to its name with its upbeat, peppy synths. Speaking about the track, Son of 8 had this to say:

“We’ve been inspired by recreating a lot of old school rave sounds and blending them with sounds from the newest plug ins and production techniques at the minute. A lot of the crowds we are playing to haven’t heard some of the older tunes. We wanted to make a house track with a groovy tech vibe, funky tones and a good bassline but keep a classic influence. We started with the vocal and went from there. Everyone loves the Chic original, including us!”

The second track, titled ‘Your Love Keeps Lifting Me’ brings their techno influence to the fore. A pulsating bassline with heavy percussions and hats makes the track hit hard but the pads and vocals keep the melody going throughout. Speaking about ‘Your Love Keeps Lifting Me,’ the duo had this to say:

“We wanted to keep the funky vibe going with this one with a solid bassline. We were inspired by old rave sounds we had been listening to on vinyl again. We did both tracks in the same week and kept the vibe we were on going over both tracks.”
