Definitive house label Repopulate Mars keep up their superb run of releases with a new release from Prok & Fitch entitled ‘Where’s The Party’.

For more than a decade, UK pair Ben Prok and James Fitch have released on an impressive stream of labels such as Relief Records, Sola, Solid Grooves Records and Repopulate Mars, dropping their huge ‘The Homie’ on the latter imprint last year. They now make their second appearance on Lee Foss’s label and once again serve up razor sharp tracks designed to go off whilst finding a perfect sweet spot be- tween house and techno.

Featuring Kyozo, ‘Where’s The Party’ is a brilliantly physical affair with rock-solid kicks making for a driv- ing groove. Trippy synths and bubbling, rugged bass flesh things out beneath the vocal stabs and a rave is sure to ensue when this one gets dropped.

Next up, ‘Griminess’ is a little more paired back, with infectious drum loops bringing a rubbery funk and unhinged vocal samples, percussive sounds and odd FX all making it a playful yet effective tune run through with bursts of acid madness.
