MIKE Q Let It All Out

This four-track EP is the first "official" release from New Jersey's MikeQ, one of the unquestioned leaders of the current vogue-house scene, and follows in the wake of a slew of self-released tunes he's dropped over the past few years. Let It All Out is also the second record on Kingdom's Fade to Mind imprint, informally the American brother / sister label of Night Slugs. Largely built upon raw, upfront drum sounds, recycled snippets of hip hop and R&B, and, most importantly, the ever-present "Ha!" drop (itself a repurposed Masters At Work sample), vogue house seemingly offered the sort of sound that tastemaking and blog-reading DJs would snap up with gusto.
