This slice of deep house comes courtesy of UK-based producer/DJ Simon Baker, whose debut album, Traces, comes out today. “L Train,” the second cut from the LP, finds the Leeds producer mining the deeper regions of a funky bassline and pairing it with a sped-up electro beat. As the track’s rhythm section happily rolls along, Baker creates vast atmospheres of epicly long pads and gurgling synth swells that pop up here and there along with sharply chopped vocal phrases and glimpses of cascading piano. Although his new record is said to bounce between the club and the more headphone-oriented side of house, rest assured that “L Train” definitely falls in the former category, as we can’t imagine it would have any trouble getting a dancefloor moving.
