I really don’t know the first thing about Laura Ingalls (other than it’s one of the illest DJ names I’ve come across). The story on Laura’s Soundcloud page is really quite something, and they’re getting loads of attention both in discotheques and on radio like BBC. Currently in Shanghai, China, Laura (real name Raphaël Valensi) is apparently a DJ and producer who has dropped a flurry of dope disco edits and original tracks. She (he?) is also involved with Acid Pony Club which appears to have morphed into another project called The Horses (which features Clement Pony & Laura Ingalls).
What I like about this “Dub Piano Tool” track is two fold: one, the sample which I recognized immediately from “Funkin’ For Jamaica” by Tom Browne is almost indiscernible unless you know the song really well. There’s an industrial quality to the vocal interspersed towards the end of the track. At it’s core, though, is a nearly perfect execution of acid house.
As a companion, I’m including a track from The Horses, a solid piece of disco-house entitled “Soul Tool #2″. Tell me what you think.
