Night People NYC is a label that’s been raising roofs in the Big Apple since 2014 with its sleek deep house and disco selections, rich with melody, funk and soul. Led by one of New York’s favourite house and disco evangelists Eli Escobar, Night People has spun out countless releases from Escobar himself, as well as originals and remixes from: Purple Disco Machine, Ricardo Baez, The Carry Nation and IPF.
Review: Last autumn, Eli Escobar delivered a swathe of rather good single-track salvos. It's these that have been gathered together on Night Class, a five-track mini-album that showcases the increasing musical diversity of his dancefloor-focused sound. That much is proved by the first two tracks, where the bold, beautiful, vintage-sounding synths and throbbing bottom-end of 'Blue Magic' is followed by the glassy-eyed, nu disco-tinged piano house bliss of 'Give Love'. Escobar's increasing use of late 1970s and early '80s synth sounds continues on 'Night Class', while 'This Is Not Going To Be An Ambient Track' sits somewhere between revivalist Chicago jack and slow-burn deep house warmth. As for closing cut 'What You Said', it's pleasingly crunchy, foreboding and sweaty.
