Lotusz’s latest EP on Haustronaut delivers three distinct progressive house tracks, each showcasing his refined production and emotional depth. With Trump / Baby Dance Like A Freak / Friend, the producer strikes a balance between crowd-moving energy and introspective moments, making this a standout release for late 2024.
The opener, “Trump,” is bold and innovative, incorporating a speech by Donald Trump as a central element. Far from polarizing, the speech is woven into a harmonic soundscape, adding a layer of intrigue to the track’s driving bass and polished production. It’s a daring choice that pays off, setting the tone for the EP.
“Baby Dance Like A Freak” shifts gears with a vibrant, dancefloor-ready vibe. Its simple vocal hook and euphoric melody create an infectious energy that’s perfect for peak-time sets. The nostalgic undercurrent, paired with an expansive sound design, ensures it resonates emotionally as much as it does physically.
Closing out the EP, “Friend” leans into a retro-inspired aesthetic, blending rich arpeggios with contemporary progressive textures. The emotional vocals and intricate synth work give it a reflective yet groovy atmosphere, making it a perfect closer that lingers in the listener’s mind.
Artist Quote – “Track: Trump
I’ll tell you a little about this song. When I started production, I didn’t even think about adding vocals. It would just be instrumental. I finished the entire track and felt like something was missing. That’s when I got the idea of making a speech and I started looking for important people, but the only speech that fit was Donald Trump’s. I believe that added a lot of value to the song. A beautiful speech where he talks about hope, security and freedom! A Progressive House, with lots of harmonics, giving it that swing.
Track: Baby Dance like a freak
This track is very beautiful, creamy, that awakens deep feelings and takes you to another level of consciousness, not to mention the melody that is amazing, leaving a dance floor full of energy with a simple and repetitive vocal making the audience sing along. Whenever I produce a new track, I think about what feeling I want to convey. And this song brings back a lot of good memories!
Track: Friend
A very conceptual song, with a retro feel, featuring incredible vocals. I worked a lot on the synth and arp, giving it that swing. As for the melody, I used a lead creating a unique atmosphere giving that groove to the track.”
