djqwest Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 In smaller circles, hes known by his given name of Jesse Houk. Members of the worldwide underground community, however, know him better as The Scumfrog, a twisted DJ/producer combo whose trippy trademark of grungy industrialized beats has made him an increasing presence on the decks at clubs across the globe for the better part of three years.Though originally from Amsterdam, 10-year turntable veteran Houk made the jump to New York City in 1997 to pursue his career on the other side of the Atlantic. The leap resulted in a musical meld that incorporated the best of European-styled funk with some of the darkest progressive grooves to emanate from U.S. shores in years. From his gritty treatment of Kylie Minogues Love at First Sight to his blazing re-do of George Michaels Freeek and a downpour of original productions including Learning to Fly and his breakout single, the Ibiza anthem We Love You, Houk has honed a unique mixture of late-night basslines that have seduced dance floors the world over. His catalog of music continuing to grow, the longtime beatmaster recently announced plans to release a disc composed entirely of Scumfrog originals. Simmer , Houks debut artist album, is set to hit the streets this October. To what does Houk owe his dark influence? Does Simmer represent the beginning of a new era in the Scumfrog sound? And what precipitated Houks move from Europes dance-friendly shores to the more downplayed scene here in America? Find out on Wednesday, September 15, at 8pm when The Scumfrog joins THE REVOLUTION.
