Dutch DJ duo Lucas & Steve proudly present their brand new single today on Spinnin’ Deep.
Aptly titled ‘Fearless’ the guys travel toward yet uncharted waters with this record, as they build upon their characteristic house sound with sweet basslines and oldschool breaks. Let’s say the track breathes a mellow vibe of classic dance music, while the mark of so-called ‘future house’ isn’t too far either. Or you could simply say it’s just one hell of a club tune, ‘Fearless’ is all that.
Following their recent success with ‘Blinded’ (which got raving responses in December 2014, including support from DJs like Oliver Heldens, Fedde le Grand, Chuckie and Tiësto) the rise of Lucas & Steve continues in 2015. First, the duo released a stunning remix of 2005 dance classic ‘Do It 2 Nite’, reaching the top 3 of the Beatport main chart in no-time. And now, as expectations rise, ‘Fearless’ sets a new mark for the guys.
Like Spinnin’ labelmate Oliver Heldens, the duo brings a sound that honours the classic 90s house sound, drenched in the spirit of UK and garage house, taking this to a new, 21st century interpretation. ‘Fearless’ is perhaps the best example of how these worlds are getting blended, as the duo is the first to admit:
“We wanted to do something new for ourselves”, Steve says. “After we’d made ‘Do It 2 Nite’ and ‘Blinded’ we were connected with one particular sound. Some call it ‘future house’, for us it’s simply all house music. But to underline our love for the music on a whole, we looked for new grooves and sounds to incorporate.”
The groove layed out in ‘Fearless’ was the basis for this. “A real old school vibe”, according to Steve, also mentioning the subtle breakbeats halfway the track. “I love that stuff, especially since we brought in a bassline and effects that are really ‘now’, bringing together two worlds.”
Add to this the invigorating vocals by Bethany, with whom the duo rejoined after working successfully on ‘Blinded’, and you can safely say ‘Fearless’ is the duo’s definite claim to fame. “Well, it’s the type of house music we like, that’s all that counts. It’s a combination of sounds we haven’t heard too much, and yeah, it sounds like summer in our ears. In my book that makes it a success already.” >
