The next release on Roush comes from the ever-popular Iglesias. The UK-based producer has been one of the most affluently present artists in recent years and is often one of the first names out of the hat when talking about talented tech house creators.

Opening the release is the title track ‘Where’s My Snare”, a typically gritty and hat-heavy Roush style track. It comes equipped with a well-balanced low end and perfectly separated high frequencies. Add to that some subtle melodic elements, percussive fills and cleverly manipulated vocal cuts, making it an entertaining weapon of choice. Next up, ‘When You Wanna Groove’ keeps no secrets with its naming.

An essentially groove-focused roller with an emphasis on its seemingly endless layers of intricately panned rhythm. Rising levels of melody and vocal presence build throughout its transitional segments before throwing you straight back into the zone. Closing the EP is ‘All About Sex’, which focuses more on building a vibe from a stripped-back approach. Iglesias takes the ‘less is more’ route with this one, homing in on fluctuating the intensity of the tracks elements in different places to build atmosphere and suspense. A sultry, late-night number for the after hours. Iglesias’ ‘Where’s My Snare” EP is proudly presented to you by Roush Label
