    Podcast 377: DJ Haus

    A master of excess throws down 90-minutes of high-octane dancefloor energy.

    DJ Haus is a master of excess, and anyone familiar with the DJ/producer/label boss/YouTube profligate likely knows this all too well. Heading up both Unknown to the Unknown and the Hot Haus imprint, the London resident has issued a seemingly endless string of reliable house, techno, and UK garage records via his labels, all with an insatiable taste for cheeky bombast and dancefloor theatrics. His own production output is no less unstoppable; both as DJ Haus and in his Trumpet & Badman project with DJ Q (not to mention the now-defunct Hot City duo), the consistently prolific artist has built a sizable body of jacking, bass-loaded club music with an ear for classic sounds, all of which reaches as far back as 2008. (Hot City did its XLR8R podcast back in 2010, too.) Just about every solo entry DJ Haus makes in that extensive catalog arrives via one of his labels or some quasi-official digital avenue, but his latest release, the four-track Helta Skelta EP, just dropped courtesy of Clone‘s busy Jack for Daze imprint (one of our 2014 favorites, naturally). Suffice it to say that we don’t need any more of a reason to ask a seasoned pro like DJ Haus to contribute a session for the XLR8R podcast series.

    Once again, it’ll be no surprise to the initiated that what DJ Haus has turned in to us goes big on everything. His mix is 35 tracks of high-octane dancefloor energy: an hour and a half chock full of twitchy ghettotech, restless house grooves, and nasty bassline monsters—plus a handful of unheard dubplates for good measure. Most of the podcast features material from contemporary producers (save for a couple trusty standards, like Paul Johnson’s “I’m a Freak”), but it all nonetheless pushes a classic aesthetic with rugged hardware workouts and blippy, adrenaline-hungry tempos. DJ Haus appears to have no trouble showcasing the crowded rosters of his label pool and other like-minded outposts, while also dropping his own productions into the whirlwind affair. Those ADD sensibilities can seem a bit fickle here, and yet they’re methods which pay off with striking regularity. In that sense, DJ Haus’ exclusive mix for XLR8R might actually be the perfect analog for his career on the whole.
