If you’ve caught on to the wave of deep house tracks for 2012, Him_Self_Her should be a name to add to your list. The rising work from the Midlands, UK act was dropped by Pete Tong’s Radio 1 show last week. Only recently signing onto Cream Coture records, and having released singles onto Bubba’s Running Wild this fall. They’ve risen quickly to becoming one of the labels most played songs on Cream Coture’s Resident Advisor page. The likability of Him_Self_Her comes with bold bass tones and a monotone diegetic, whose demanding presence calls for attention in the most dominatrix-like ways. While the underscores in their name signify an attachment to technology, however, the song’s feeling is anything but robotic, almost a parallel vision to 2011’s Azari & III with r&b-like vocals & rhythms.
Here’s a Him_Self_Her track “Gone Too Long.” Check it.
