Carl Cox and Bushwacka! Team Up for Soulful House Track, “Music Is Life”

Carl Cox and Bushwacka! are leaving nothing to the imagination in their cathartic new track, "Music Is Life."

Out now on the latter's Oblong Records, "Music Is Life" features the iconic Chuck Roberts, who is prevalently considered "The Voice of House Music." Paired with the track's thumping snares, his soulful vocals and ad-libbing lend to a carefree jam you'd hear when the sun starts to creep in through the windows after an all-night rave.

Meanwhile, the track's "Deep Mix" takes it to the White Isle with its chugging bassline and hypnotic, swelling pads. Here, the tech house sound of the influential Bushwacka! shines through as Cox's propulsive techno production ebbs and flows through the arrangement.

"It's such a great vibe and there is nothing that sounds like it right now," Cox said of the new release. "It’s paving the way forward."
