“Keep House” is the agenda on A1 and everyone who shrugs now about what the house should be kept like – clean (?), tidy (?), locked (?) – should be taken to the next dancefloor by this joint. Of course we’re talking genre-aligned maintaining-mentality here. It needs to be House and it needs to be House forever – what else? When Rampa offers his service to the art form, you can expect a bit more than the usual 808-knitting pattern or jingling preset-piano. He approaches his mandate with a trademark percussive dryness and generous bass-embrace in the kick-range.
