The air is full of intoxicating fumes of revolution, as if a riot has erupted in a perfume factory. Right up in the thick of that rebellious aroma is House of Allegro, comprising DJ Alec B and vocalist Michelina, truly a powerhouse duo. Their new album, “Evolution,” is a 10-song electronic dance, house, and psychedelic hybrid built to blow your mind.
Alec B’s production is pure mastery in the manipulation of sound, turning what might otherwise have been humble sounds into golden waves of pulsating energy. Michelina’s vocal is the perfect complement-a kind of captivating lure that weaves in and out of the music like a strand of pure enchantment. They build a sound that is both explosive on the dance floor and captivating to the introspective ear.
But “Evolution” is something more than the compilation of high-energy tracks; it’s a manifesto, a battle cry-a vivid appeal for the liberation of the human spirit. It is meant to embrace chaos as beauty, to let oneself go into the unknown, and find liberation amidst turmoil. It’s as if the Velvet Underground’s “White Light/White Heat” collided with Daft Punk’s ecstatic futurism, sprinkled with a touch of cosmic stardust.
Well, with “Evolution,” I couldn’t help but think about the Dadaists-those original anarchists who attempted to rip apart convention with art. House of Allegro carries this same ethos onto their music: boisterous, noisy, and fascinating cacophony that will leave you winded and asking for more. Well, are you ready for revolution?
