All This Before (Part 1) EP
If there’s a healthier way to kick off a Friday morning than with a steady diet of refined, tasteful house music, well… that’s news to your trusty Music Ninjas. Luckily for us, filling our Friday morning prescription of House music is Bordertown, the illustrious duo of Ministry of Sound Radio host Ricky Simmonds and UK club staple Luke Saunders. The duo’s latest single “All This Before” has already begun receiving loads of credible support from the likes of The Magician, Thee Cool Cats, Roger Sanchez and Tensnake, and from one quick listen it’s quite easy to hear why. Based off of an exquisitely rendered and expertly pitched vocal sample from Whitney Houston’s timeless “It’s Not Right But It’s OK”, “All This Before” builds its groove quickly behind crisp, shuffling hi-hats, and a rolling set of club tuned kicks and snare. The real star of Bordertown’s latest single however comes in the form of wobbling sub-bass, which plays in succinct harmony against the tune’s air of sophisticated club production.
