Somewhere between the reigning genres of yawn-inspiring minimal techno and the exhaustingly ear-piercing electro-blog-house sound is dance music. Remember house? Remember funk? Remember when party music made you dance sideways instead of just banging your head or scratching your chin?

Meet Jesse Rose, the Berlin based co-creator of so-called “fidget house” – although a better name for his music might be “Smile-House”. Rose just released his album, What Do You Do If You Don’t? and it just might be the resurrection of all-that-is-good in the electronic dance music world.

It is sample-based funky pop house. And it is fucking excellent.
