The kick drum hits with a dusty thump, and suddenly you’re in a room where the air is thick with anticipation. Double Deuce’s ‘I’ve Been Down’ is a 70s-inspired vocal disco burner that wastes no time getting to the point.
It’s a track that builds from a simmer to a full-on strut, the vocal floating above the groove with an effortless cool.
The low end is thick and propulsive, the drums lock into a pattern that feels both familiar and urgent, and the whole thing glows with a neon-soaked after-hours energy.
That bassline, in particular, refuses to leave your head long after the track fades.
