Louis La Roché - Peach EP Review

Brett Ewels is from Lowestoft, England. He has recorded and remixed music under two different aliases (Louis La Roché and Night Facilities), he's currently recording his debut album "I Delete Myself", and he's even gained himself a shitload of exposure after one of his tracks was falsely believed to be a new Daft Punk song. Not many people can say they've done all that at 17 years old.

Brett's first release under the Louis La Roché alias, The Peach EP, is something that proves that us Brits still have the magic. Most of the dance music in britain nowadays is nothing but sugar-coated commercial trance, but this lad is different. This EP has a distinctly French sound to it.


The first track, Peach, is a lively chunk of Eric Prydz-style disco house with stuttered beats and a high pitched vocal sample, while On The Floor and Get On Down could be from the 70s if you wished hard enough. Love (yes, that's the fake Daft Punk one...), loaded with diva vocals, IS very Bangalter-esque, perhaps its no wonder that mix-up happened, and Do You Remember is a full-on disco assault, complete with piano chords and put-on-an-afro-wig-and-sing-into-your-hairbrush vocals.


This up-and-coming producer is going places. He's not just a child prodigy, Louis La Roché is a soon-to-be national treasure.


I give Louis La Roché's "Peach EP"
5 STARS!

For fans of:
Daft Punk, Eric Prydz, Cassius, Michael Jackson
