Enter the world of S. Charles’ “Crime,” come out with déjà vu

 

Wow, I really dig the rattling percussion at the start. Feels like the background tune leading up to an epic samurai battle. Now the kicks come in; didn’t anticipate these elements working on a house track, but there you go. And here come some interjections of mid-heavy keys making their entrance through a subtle backdoor. Wait…those chords and that vocal sample—sounds like something Sam Gellaitry would throw down in a Boiler Room set. Who is this guy? Diving into his SoundCloud page—don’t his other four tracks all remind you of…oh my god. Sammy G follows S. Charles. Is the reigning Scottish champion of trap making a play on house music’s title belt? Even when (maybe) operating within a side project, Gellaitry’s magical touch shines through.
