PENTHOUSE PENTHOUSE w/ Bobby Saint & HOODBOI in The Lab LA
The Penthouse Penthouse crew operating in The Lab LA means we're getting a masterclass in how to make populist house music sound incredibly cool, and we are here for every shamelessly catchy hook. The vibe is a rooftop party at 3am, all warm air, shared drinks, and tracks that make you hug the person next to you. This is house music with a capital H, bouncing at an average of 128 BPM and harmonically glued together by the ubiquitous 12A key. The energy is perfectly pitched for a party, with a strong low-end pulse (0.58), infectious mid-range melodies (0.31), and well-timed high-end flourishes (0.11) for those hands-in-the-air moments.
The selection is a joyride through contemporary dance floors, blending originals with smart edits. They kick off with Aden's slick, percussive roller 'Whip' and later drop Kaytranada's timeless 'Go Ahead' for an instant vibe shift. Leon Benesty & Divine's 'I Don't Know' is a soulful, piano-driven anthem, and Mr. Oizo's 'Positif' is a wonky, French-touch curveball.
Throwing in Armand Van Helden & A-Trak's 'Anyway' is just showing off, in the best way. The journey is one of sustained euphoria, starting with that infectious opener, peaking with the anthemic sweep of The Weeknd's 'Take My Breath,' and floating home on the dreamy, Balearic chords of PromNite's 'Through The Night.'.
