Ross Couch Rmx Of Leanbacker – New York City Hits Traxsource Top 10

Posted on by rosscouch in News | Leave a comment

BSB003Art180x180I’m delighted to say that my ‘Ross Couch House Edit’ of my downtempo project Leanbacker’s latest single ‘New York City’ has broken into the Traxsource Soulful House top 10 and is currently sitting at No.9 as I type this. This is only the third release for Leanbacker on my sub-label Beats Since Birth, so it’s great to see it doing well.

Of course the main focus of both Leanbacker and this label is downtempo music, but I think a bit of cross-promotion via an occasional Ross Couch remix on BSB and vice versa with Leanbacker on my main Body Rhythm imprint (such as with the recent ‘The Way You Work’ track which is still No.12 on the Traxsource Lounge chart) can only be a good thing to help establish the new project and reinforce the fact that this is me under a new alias.

If you haven’t heard the single, it’s currently available on Traxsource promo HERE.

Beyond that, I’ve been lucky enough to have had as many as four tracks in the Soulful House top 50 on Traxsource at times this week with both ‘Falling Without You’ and ‘Back in Love’ from my ‘In The Skies EP’ on Body Rhythm in there alongside my remix of The Lucius Project Ft Diana Lynn – ‘Falling (Don’t Stop Me)’ on House Trip Recordings.

Meanwhile, over at Beatport I was happy to see that the ‘In The Skies EP’ was one of the ‘Staff Picks’ this week in the House section and also got a feature spot too.

Looking ahead I’m busy finishing off my next Ross Couch EP at the moment for release later in the month, while there’s also several new remix projects to sink my teeth into as well.

BSB003Art180x180There’s lots going on at the moment as you’ll no doubt have gathered from that overly long headline above, so let’s get right to it!

First up, today sees the launch of the next single from my Leanbacker alias called ‘New York City’ on the Beats Since Birth sub-label. As you’d expected the original mix is a downtempo cut, but I’ve also produced a house version under my Ross Couch name too for those who want something that’ll work on the dancefloor and has been getting early airplay on Richard Earnshaw, Lars Behrenroth and Niall Redmond’s shows.

I should also quickly remind you all that my latest ‘In The Skies EP’ is also still out on Traxsource promo at the moment and will come out on full release at all the other usual stores on Monday.

Finally, I’m delighted to say that the good folks over at Traxsource included me at No.18 on their list of the ‘Top 20 Soulful House Artists Of The Years So Far’.

It’s great to be in there, especially as the chart is absolutely stacked with big name producers, including some real legends and pioneers who helped shape house music as we know it.

Here’s what they had to say about me:

“Unsurprisingly, Scotland’s unstoppable-disco-machine Ross Couch finds himself in our chart, with his ‘All I Want’ track a stand out for us so far in 2015. We could have chosen pretty much anything that he’s put out this year, as Body Rhythm – essentially a home for some of Ross’s more soulful productions – consistently delivers the goods and has picked up props from the likes of house heavyweights Grant Nelson and CJ Mackintosh.”
