Ben Dragon and Juliet Mendoza’s latest collaboration, “I Wish I Was Your Record,” serves up a nostalgic yet fresh homage to the roots of house music. From the opening beat, the track is all about vibe—smooth, refined, and effortlessly cool.
The standout feature of the track is the vocal sample, “I wish I was your record baby,” which loops throughout with an infectious groove. It's simple, catchy, and cuts through the mix like a classic house anthem. Layered atop that are mellow, polished keys that offer a soulful warmth, while the subtle but effective percussion keeps the rhythm flowing without overpowering the other elements.
What makes this track really stand out is its balance of restraint and richness. There’s no overproduction here—just pure, unadulterated house music at its finest. Ben Dragon and Juliet Mendoza masterfully showcase their ability to create something deeply rooted in house’s tradition while making it feel relevant and new. Each element finds its space, blending seamlessly into a fluid whole.
The track has already caught the ears of heavy hitters in the scene, with Noizu calling it "Sick!", Jamie Jones giving it his seal of approval by saying he’s “Feeling this,” and Black V Neck labelling it as a “Nice one!” Their co-signs speak volumes about the track’s authenticity and impact.
In a world of over-the-top electronic productions, Ben Dragon and Juliet Mendoza strip it back to the essentials, delivering a tune that speaks to the heart of what house music is all about.
