Led by the single of the same name, Fluttert released his fourth EP “Teach Me” in 2014 on the Dirty Soul Music division of Be Yourself Music. With label backing Bakermat released his “Uitzicht" EP in 2013 which propelled the producer into several dance charts acrosss Europe and brought Fluttert international acclaim. The EPs brought Fluttert to the attention of a number of electronic house labels and he subsequently signed with the dance agency Soulmax in 2012. The latter of which “Vandaag” features the single “I Have a Dream” which samples Martin Luther King Jr.’s infamous speech and got a rerelease by Sony Music in 2014. The young DJ began honing his skills and following his interests and released a pair of EPs “Zomer” and “Vandaag” in 2012. According to his own website, if he can make feel-good music that's something people might not have heard before, his job is done.Fluttert’s earliest musical excursions began when the Dutchman was studying psychology at Utrecht University, and after discovering deep house music started moonlighting as a DJ in his spare time. Although he certainly has some musical chops in his blood (when he was growing up his mother was a professional opera singer), Bakermat doesn't want to overcomplicate things. What does Bakermat want you to feel when you listen to his music? Happy. By the time we get to the end of the album, Bakermat has gone full tech-house and even trancey with the songs essentially just being one long build. The mid-section of this album still contains catchy samples (looking at you, "Drunk Baby on a Saturday Night") but Bakermat starts to break away from his usual formula with more a-typical song structure with longer builds that sound more like a typical "big room" electronic song. A normal Bakermat album would stop there but lucky for all of us, Bakermat got a little more experimental in the middle and towards the end of his latest release. It's a formula for success and one Bakermat has mastered.
What's that? Your hand is suddenly flopping through the air too? Trust us, we know the feeling. Each song builds slowly with new drum and snare loops until about the 1-minute break where there's a synth or piano melody that enters and BOOM. The first four songs of the album contain old-school house music samples layered in with the classic Bakermat sound of a sexy saxophone penetrating the sample at every new 8-bar break.
Bakermat has us covered on this release from just last week. An electronic album that's diverse, easy to listen to, has something for everyone, and is chocked full of catchy samples? Say no more.
