RA.199 House Of House

The NYC house duo rushes to paradise on this week’s RA podcast.

It may not have been the originator of the genre, but New York certainly has its fair share of house music heritage. As House Of House, Olivier Spencer and Saheer Umar are one of the latest acts to take their place in NYC’s house lineage, causing a major stir last year with their dance floor-slaying debut single, “Rushing To Paradise (Walking These Streets).” Its slick synth pulses, cascading pianos and
visceral climax made sure that it found its way into the boxes of DJs looking for a dance floor track with plenty of emotional clout,and our panel of critics here at RA couldn’t get enough, placing it at #20 in our Top Tracks Of 2009 poll.
When they both get behind the decks as House Of House, though, don’t expect a straight up set of deep house. As this week’s podcast proves, Spencer and Umar are a wild and diverse pair when they get down to mixing, managing to traverse from organic house through to dark minimal techno and back, even managing to work in a bit of pitched-down dubstep. We caught up with the duo by e-mail to ask them about the mix,their recent activities and what revellers can expect when House Of House hit their local clubbing establishment.(RA)
