The Masquerade EP

Vanguard Sound! Returns from hiatus with The Masquerade EP. Live instrumentation "Soulful House" on the title track. With Tim Collins on Steel String Guitar and Amir on the Hammond B3 organ turning in a scorching solo. Reminiscent of the legendary Chicago House Artist Glenn Underground, and the avant-jazz-funk Trio Medeski, Martin, and Wood. Freaks of The Deep is a dancefloor tested, previously exclusive "secret weapon" that was premiered at a Circoloco party in Ibiza's DC-10 to devastating effect. Smokey chords, Insanely soulful vocal elements, and a wicked bassline all sit atop slamming beats. Guaranteed to take any set to the next level of intensity. Dick Pilates is a track that was often requested when Amir would tour. Never before released and only ever dropped in a podcast. A modern take on the classic Chicago elements. Served up in a way that only Amir Alexander can. Cheeky spoken word vocal, chopped and old-school stabby. Wild, jackin' beats, nuclear synths, and a killer, melodic bassline.

“Amir's first ever Soulful House track is the title cut with live guitar and Hammond B3 Organ. And two most treasured DJ secret Weapons finally available to the world. The subterranean Freaks of The Deep, and the Infamous Dick Pilates. A fan favorite.” — Amir Alexander
