The World As I See It
Dennis Ferrer
Screw drugs. Ditch the fake sexy attitude. The mothership has landed. It’s time to get real. This is purist house.
Dennis Ferrer presents house music as an underground culture separate from the rules and conventions of the rest of the world, where a 4/4 beat is as commonplace as the soil beneath your feet and organic instrumentation and African percussion intertwine to create fertile landscapes on the polished dance floor. The atmospheres span from aggressive to dreamy, feeding intentions of mandated salvation, deflated romance, starry-eyed love, and the belief that “one man can change the world.” Aside from Mia Tuttavilla on “Touched The Sky,” all vocals throughout are refreshingly male including Tyrone Ellis, K.T. Brooks, Selan, and Danil Wright on the disc’s initial single “Church Lady.”
Ferrer’s distinctive tracks have been included in innumerable compilations framing disparate genres ranging from big-room tribal to sunny, sandy Ibiza anthems, and has contributed remixes for names like Blaze, Fish Go Deep, Copyright, and Junior Jack.
