Since its release in May, “Tides of Mind”, the second album of Oxia turned 2012´s cloudy Springs into a shining early Summer. The experts praised its deep and classy characters, while the club-goers massively enjoyed it on the dancefloors. For all, a majestic tour de force for the mind and body.
“Housewife” featuring Miss Kittin is a standout track taken from the album, which did not have to be released as single to make it to specialized radioshow playlists. In one way, this track pays tribute to a certain tradition of House Music in North America, in the other way, it upgrades the good old recipes with some modern flavors. On the mic, Miss Kittin sensually sings a passionate (and almost conjugal) love song for the musical genre. The (ware)housewife achieves emancipation through relentless dancing and self-forgetfulness. Regarding Oxia´s production, needless to say vintage synths, groovy rhythms and funky bass are their best.
