Classixx Releases Retro-Influenced New Song “One More Song” Featuring Roosevelt

Los Angeles based electronic duo Classixx, composed of DJs Michael David and Tyler Blake, just released “One More Song” featuring German singer/songwriter and producer Roosevelt, according to Pitchfork. The song is the duo’s first new single since they released “Love Me No More” last year.

The song is heavily funk and disco influenced, as the driving beat is accompanied by playful synths and a groovy bass line inspired by bassist Louis Johnson, who famously played on Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall, Thriller, and Dangerous. Roosevelt further pushes the funky vibe with his vocals, that resonate brightly along with the melody lines. The song is strictly positive vibes, and the retro style of the tune is a refreshing blend of modern electronic and dance infused with 1970’s funk and disco that pioneered EDM as we know it today.

While Classixx is able to provide heavy versatility in their music, they have only released two studio albums; the duo released Hanging Gardens in 2013 and Faraway Reach in 2016. With the duo released a new single last year and then again this year, perhaps fans could remain hopeful for a new album sometime in the near future.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
