Review: Over the last couple of years, Eli Escobar has released all manner of musical treats, from instrumental hip-hop beat tapes to albums full of analogue rich, melody-driven synth jams. As fine as these surprise excursions were, it's his fully dancefloor-focused material that really gets the pulse racing. 'Still Searchin', his first EP of 2023, is full of proper peak-time material, from the jacking and deep dancefloor electro-funk of 'Do It Now' - crunchy and squelchy in equal measure - and the breathless, punk-funk-goes-deep house hustle of 'Slinky', to the classic NYC deep house flex of 'I Miss Someone' and the jacking-but-ghostly peak-time wonkiness of 'Grab N Go'.

Review: Eli Escobar puts his own twist on house and disco. The New York-based DJ/producer has been active within his city's scene for the last two decades, as one third of the Tiki Disco parties, as well as running his own label Night People - which serves up his latest effort entitled Once I Was Young. It's a full-length affair, featuring a wide variety of moods and grooves across 11 great tracks. Whether it's the the neon-lit Italo dream of opener "Miami", the balearic sunset ambience of "Dazzle", the proto electro beats of "Green Eyes" or the underground techno sound of "Seq 24" - Escobar takes the best of golden era sounds to create club anthems for today.

Review: Keeping it simple is the name of the game on this latest from New York house wunderkind Escobar. It's a single-track affair, for starters - so none of those pesky remixes to worry about - while the track itself is a looping affair centred around a female "the rhythm, addicted to the rhythm" vocal that plays almost constantly, underpinned by a nagging synth riff that nods to classic-style Detroit techno. Various other vocal snips and ever-shifting drum patterns help to maintain the interest, but this is nevertheless an eyes-down, locked-in-the-groove kinda cut built to keep warmed-up floors moving through those peaktime hours.

Review: Eli Escobar is a staple of New York's electronic music scene and on his latest release, demonstrates why he is held in such high regard. That said, the title track shows that he is also expert in house music from Chicago. It starts with a stripped back drum pattern, followed by a reptitive vocal, hissings hats, insistent acid and doubled up claps. The unfussy production sound and straightforward approach to arranging harks back to the classic sound of Larry Heard and Adonis. On "Back 2 Luv", Escobar makes a stylistic return to NY. While the drums are solid, the combination of Steven Klavier's soulful vocals and celebratory piano keys make this house music of the most uplifting variety. The Jamie 3_26 Alright Ronnie version, with its disco influences closes out the release.

Review: Hot on the heels of his rather fine Phreeky single, Eli Escobar returns to Classic with two more hot-to-trot house hits. "Chaka Khan", in particular, is something of a retro-futurist treat, with the NYC producer expertly blending hip-house era breakbeats, tipsy chords, warehouse-friendly electronics and a swathe of old school vocal samples. It sounds like a guaranteed party-starter, like many of Escobar's nostalgia-tinted productions. "Up All Night Part 2" sees him revisit the title track of his 2014 album, expertly working selected disco loops into a bumpin', sweaty, hands-aloft house stomper. It rises and falls in all the right places, and sounds like it could be capable of causing serious dancefloor devastation.
