House music pedigree meets fresh creative energy on a groove-led collaboration packed with piano hooks, infectious rhythms and dancefloor charm.
When you bring together Harry Romero, Brothers Macklovitch and Austin Ato, expectations are naturally high. Between them sits an impressive cross-section of dance music history, from Harry Romero’s long-standing house credentials and Bambossa Records legacy to A-Trak and Dave 1’s work as Brothers Macklovitch, plus Austin Ato’s steadily growing reputation as one of Europe’s most exciting producers. Thankfully, The Corner more than justifies the combined talent involved.
Opening with the Piano Mix, the EP immediately establishes a warm and uplifting mood. Built around bouncy drums, rolling piano lines and playful guitar flourishes, it carries the kind of effortless energy that feels tailor-made for daytime festival sets, terrace sessions and packed dancefloors alike. There is a looseness to the groove that feels refreshing, with each contributor bringing something unique to the table without overcrowding the production.
The piano work is particularly effective throughout, adding both musicality and momentum while the crisp percussion keeps things moving with purpose. It’s one of those records that manages to sound instantly familiar whilst retaining enough personality to stand out from the sea of modern house releases.
The Deep In Jersey Dub takes things deeper and more stripped back. Here the focus shifts towards tension, groove and atmosphere. The filters are worked beautifully, gradually teasing elements in and out of the mix before rewarding listeners with satisfying drops and rolling bass pressure. The guitar touches remain, but are deployed more sparingly, adding texture rather than dominating proceedings.
What makes the dub especially successful is its restraint. Rather than chasing obvious peak-time fireworks, it allows the groove to do the heavy lifting, nodding respectfully towards classic New Jersey and East Coast house traditions while maintaining a contemporary production aesthetic.
Throughout the release there is a sense that everyone involved understands exactly what makes house music work. Nothing feels forced or overly complicated. Instead, the EP thrives on groove, feel and musical interaction, qualities that have defined Harry Romero’s best work for decades and continue to resonate with modern audiences.
With Rekids once again providing the platform, The Corner delivers two highly effective interpretations of the same idea. The Piano Mix supplies the sunshine and uplift, while the Deep In Jersey Dub heads for darker, more heads-down territory. Together they form a package that feels versatile, authentic and highly playable.
A classy collaboration that brings together multiple generations of dance music talent and reminds us that great house music is often built on the simplest foundations: groove, soul and great musicianship.
