If I’m going to spend one more night in this city,
then some doors better open up for me.
how about you mr weekend warrior?
mr Patron of the arts?
Invite me to you party,
because I’ve noticed you stole from mine
and gimme my drugs back
they were my friends first
we were happy together in that dirty back room of the collective imagination
I wanna be bad again
lemme show ya what that looks like
You better make room on the dance floor
your taking up all the room
you better get used to seeing me
I’ll be coming back every night
I wanna see the good life
show me what a million dollars does for you self-worth
you better be happy
make me believe it
keep me believing in the American dream
keep me working
keep me wanting what you got
make me believe it
and keep me from getting it
keep me from getting it done
well, I got some news for you
I ain’t leavin,
I ain’t going anywhere
I'm not leavin!
You better make room on the dance floor
Your taking up all the room
You better get used to seeing me
I’ll be coming back every night

Since the arrival of E-Prime with their debut single, August is an Angel, the duo, consisting of siblings Trevor & Jaclyn Blumas have been steadily making impressions with diggers and groovers with their infectious blend of 80s pop, old school house, new beat, 90s R n' B, balearic and more. Thanks to some crucial support from global club DJs and nods from LA's legendary KCRW and London's NTS, E-Prime has cemented a solid grassroots following in their short existence thus far.
Longtime purveyors of the underground might be familiar with the Blumas siblings music from their old project Doomsquad. Gone is the politically charged, late-night rave spirt of their former project in favour of sunnier anthems about love and self-determination more suited for daytime cruises & sunset sets. However, their next single No Guestlist represents a sort of bridge between their former project and this new one, as it was originally written back in 2019 as a Doomsquad song before the band abruptly decided to call it quits with the arrival of the pandemic. Now, reworked and repurposed, the song places the activist rallying cries of constant marginalization and toxic gentrification at the hands of late-capitalism, overtop of a classic ballroom house groove supported by MC-909 samples and Neptunes inspired keys.
Essential remix support comes from Toronto's Active Surplus (Pacific Rhythm), who rework the song into a twisted collision of acid and electro. Rounding out the Maxi single comes a complete revisioning of the original song from Planet Euphorique label boss, D. Tiffany. Her moonlight transformation places the song deep into rave territory with a 134bpm progressive techno head trip.
