YBD is proud to announce our 19th release! 

This one comes courtesy of underground genius Quell. He hits hard with two original tracks, For Those and Son Of The Architect. Quell’s sound here is a thoroughly modern take on classic house. He keeps the BPMs down, but not in the sense of funk or space disco, but more in tribute to old-school underground house, from back in the day when the BPMs ran around 120.

For Those is a postmodern version of the classic NYC big club deep tracks. For the old school heads, just close your eyes and it’s 4:30 am on a huge, crowded smoky dancefloor, back when the clubs were dirty and the beats were deep and raw. 

Son Of The Architect is a modern mash-up of classic elements, incorporating everything from Brazilian percussion to classic Chicago wild pitch elements and hip hop vocals. It all comes together into a hypnotizing groove that’s equally at home in 2010 as it would have been at the Sound Factory in 1993.

YBD’s Homero Espinosa hooks up with San Francisco underground kingpin and Harlum Muziq partner Chris Lum for the remix of For Those. They twist the track into something that’s equal parts modern electro-acid and classic big room house. We dare you to not start smiling when those keys kick in…

The remix of Son Of The Architect comes courtesy of YBD head Allen Craig, who re-works the wild pitch elements of the original into a deep journey of a track. This is where the big clubs of yesteryear meet the dancefloors of today – You’d better turn on the smoke machine!
