New Bloody Beetroots Single "Awesome (feat. The Cool Kids)"

When the Bloody Beetroots dropped "Warp 1.9" earlier this year I was ready for it. Downloaded it immediately the minute it was available and stuck that track on repeat for the 24 hours afterward. After listing listening, playing it at parties and seeing it live, it's safe to say that it gets better every time I hear it. The song has become the hottest song in the Beetroots' repertoire and is a staple in any DJs live set today. The day that single dropped was hands-down one of the most important days for house music in 2009.

Since then the Beetroots have been on the 'Til Death Tour and working on their new album Romborama which will release later this summer. Today they have released the first single from the album, entitled "Awesome" and it features alternative hip-hop group, The Cool Kids.

Though I got a preview of this track when the Beetroots released a mix of their newest stuff on their Twitter a couple weeks ago, I still feel some ambivalence about the song. First off, it's another venture into the hip-hop electro crossover that's been popular lately. It's reminiscent of the U-God remix I mentioned last post but it's one of the better tracks that crosses the two genres. Secondly, the track is really rich in sound. Lots of depth to the different synths and basses going on with the vocals. After awhile though, It's not nearly as intense as Warp and that is what I love about the Beetroots. That aside though, this is definitely a track worth checking out.
