With the undeniable rise in popularity of what we has been dubbed “tropical house”, there was bound to be one song that truly defined the genre. That definition has come by way of the Round Table Knight’s Calypso EP, released digitally earlier this week on Made To Play. The release not only solidifies Calypso and the must have tune of the moment, but also solidifies Made To Play as electroTO‘s top contender for the label of 2010 thus far.
Not only does the release of the Calypso EP mean that the tune is bound to get rinsed out in every club around the world if it hasn’t been already, but it also proves that the praise and attention that Round Table Knights have been getting since their remix release on Sound Pellegrino in 2009 is more than well deserved. The B side on that EP – while not entirely as infectious as Calypso’s melodic steel drum rhythm – does well to maintain the tropical feel. Although not a peak hour track, the pounding organic drums in Drop the Dow ensure that it still bangs out and vibrates speakers and bodies in the process.
We implore you to go to beatport and buy Calypso right now. It is a record that you don’t want to miss out on. Click here to buy it now.
