The Black 80s, aka veteran house purveyors Hollis P. Monroe and Overnite, make their single debut on Defected Records with ‘Give Me Something’. Hot Chip main man Joe Goddard starts off proceedings by combining an elevated synth arpeggio with long drawn out pads and subtle vocals to create an epic haunting journey, whereas Jullian Gomes’ rendition provides a confident, energetic, four-to-the-floor house version. Overnite takes the mood much deeper, as seductive synths and a deep, bassy kick drum combine to create a raw and classic 808 house vibe, and his The Black 80s cohort Hollis P. Monroe puts his own retro spin on things with organ stabs and a dance floor skip.
