Do you ever have one of those "Shut the Front Door" moments as you're listening to a mix? I define a "Shut the Front Door" moment as one where you literally have to stop everything you are doing in order to comprehend what just happened in your ears. People, I am talking about a certain track in a mix that you are completely enamored with. The kind of track that has you smitten and wanting more. The kind of track that makes you say, "Who did this and where did it come from?!"
A few months ago I had one of those moments as I was listening to the Aeroplane March 2012 mix. Specifically 9 minutes and 40 seconds into the mix was an unfamiliar track kicked in with a refreshingly funky beat that screamed "summer anthem" to me. As it progressed, built up and broke down into Whitney Houston samples at 12:37, I immediately stopped the mix, scanned the tracklist and realized this track was by Only Children.
Only Children are the DJ and producer duo from Chicago and described as: "Crate digging on house, funk, robofunk, tropical, and disco. Singles, remixes and edits mindful of the dancefloor." If you think that my love for this track is a little far-fetched, “Down Fever,” has also gotten the nod of approval from Dimitri From Paris, Zimmer and Chicago friend, Kid Color. Although their roots were originally based in the Indie rock show scene, their love of dance music shines through each track they create and release.
