Kyle Watson Makes hau5trap Debut with “Late Night Phone Call”

South African-born DJ/producer Kyle Watson has been absolutely crushing it over the past couple of years with his multifaceted and infectious track releases. He’s captured a wide-ranging audience all over the world and has gained tremendous recognition from prominent artists like Chris Lake, Diplo, and Gorgon City to name a few. After releasing on top-notch labels including Realm, Higher Ground, Atlantic Records, and more, he’s back on the release radar with his debut single on deadmau5‘s house-centric hau5trap imprint, “Late Night Phone Call.”

The infectious fresh tune encompasses that bass-house heavy Kyle Watson sound fans can’t seem to get enough of, and intertwines subtle percussive notes and tech-house elements all throughout to add a specialized stimulating touch. Amongst all of its already hypnotic soundscapes, the flourishing producer mixes in a reverberating classic sample of a ringing cell phone with a completely unexpected “Hello? Can you hear me?” female vocal before each electrifying drop. With a catchy and magnetic sound like that, there’s no doubt “Late Night Phone Call” is bound to air at nightclubs and music festivals across the globe throughout the spring and summer.

“I worked on ‘Late Night Phone Call’ for ages, tweaking it over and over to get it to this point. I wanted to keep it really simple, with a groove and drums that had to be strong enough to pull the track energy along. The sense of anticipation in the buildups contrasts really well with the drops, so when that bassline pops back in after that memorable vocal sample it just seems to hit right every time.” – Kyle Watson

In addition the highly-awaited release of “Late Night Phone Call,” Kyle Watson is scheduled to perform at a wide selection of shows and festivals across North America beginning in March. Fans can look forward to witnessing his intriguing house grooves at The Ave Philadelphia, Quantum Brooklyn, Treehouse Miami, CRSSD, Ubbi Dubbi, Lightning In A Bottle, and more.
