SG LEWIS disco & house set in The Lab LDN
SG Lewis in The Lab LDN promises a disco-infused escape, and it delivers a masterclass in sunny-side-up house music. The vibe is pure joy, a welcome respite from chin-stroking techno, all filtered through a lens of impeccable taste and groove. Sonically, this is disco house and deep house, gliding at a comfortable 124 BPM average and harmonically lush, spending significant time in the uplifting 12A and complementary 3B keys. The energy profile is remarkable for its extreme low-end dominance at 0.80—this is all about the bassline and the pocket, with highs almost entirely absent, creating a warm, immersive, and irresistibly funky soundscape. The mixing is smooth and musical, prioritizing groove continuity over flashy tricks.
The track selection is a delight from start to finish. 'Paul Epworth - Voyager 2' is a cosmic, funky opener. 'COEO - Cabrio Mango' is a perennial weapon of sunny groove, and its placement as the closer is perfection. 'Cassius - Go Up (Butch Remix)' and 'Butch - Dope' showcase a techier side of funk. 'Tech Support - Friends' is a deep, jazzy cut, while 'Mochakk - Da Fonk' and 'Dan Shake - Daisy's Dance' are modern funk-house essentials.
His own marathon track 'Impact' with Robyn is the undeniable centerpiece, a soaring, vocal-driven moment. The journey glides from the interstellar funk of 'Voyager 2', peaks with the anthemic 'Impact', and cruises to a perfect sunset with the tropical bounce of 'Cabrio Mango'. This is the sound of a smile spreading across a dancefloor.
