House of EL links up with Reuben James and CARRTOONS on latest release “The Start”
Born Kieron McIntosh, House of EL initially rose to prominence as a jazz trumpeter, deeply rooted in the traditions of jazz and improvisational music. Inspired by a spectrum of musical greats like Massive Attack, Gorillaz, Joy Division, Bootsy Collins, Stevie Wonder, and Miles Davis, his sonic landscape reflects a profound versatility.
His latest offering ‘The Start’ which features Reuben James and CARRTOONS, aims to cement his position as a trailblazer in the contemporary jazz scene. This track serves as a vivid showcase of his unmatched creativity and versatility, underlining the unique artistry that distinguishes him as a standout figure in the ever evolving musical landscape.
“Reuben James and I, under the banner of ‘House of EL,’ are brothers in arms in the sonic underworld. We’ve been weaving our musical magic behind the scenes for quite some time, and it’s a thrill to finally unleash a creation into the world. Reuben, a true maestro, and I embarked on a UK tour, and this track emerged from the tapestry of our road adventures. There’s a Midlands heartbeat in this, a nod to the roots, with a twist of that timeless indie vibe. Carrtoons sprinkled his vibe too, but our aim was simple – raw, real, and a return to the primal. It’s about rediscovering that initial passion, whether it’s in your career, creative pursuit, or with a kindred spirit. There’s a universal resonance in the journey back to where the heart first danced and jumped with excitement, that’s ‘The Start’.” — House of EL.
