“I have been seeing more house music in the underground spaces as hard techno starts to reach the mainstream dancefloors. It’s nice because the Bay has such a rich history of house and I’d love to see that spirit revitalized.”
Daria Lourd aka Bored Lord
In our recent interview with Bored Lord, she suggested that house music would return to the underground spaces as hard techno becomes increasingly welcome in the mainstream. It’s just the natural cycle of things. She also named Agropol as one of her favorite up-and-coming local artists in the Bay.
And just like that, Agropol delivers a new three-track EP of house music entitled Peacekeeper. With BPMs around 135, this still isn’t chilled out disco-inspired deep house, but more of an uptempo progressive style ideal for lifting up crowds still lingering on the dancefloor in the late club hours. “Test Me” plays with a bobbing tone reminiscent of Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” while “My House” weaves a trance of pulsing funky techno. “Peacekeeper”—a harmonious bridge between the underground and the mainstream?
