HOUSE SHOES – NEWPORTS

I love that when I Google House Shoes‘ name it comes up first over actual house shoes. But then again, I shouldn’t be surprised cause that’s how long and how hard (pause) House Shoes has been putting his stamp on the game, not only in Detroit but worldwide. Here’s a new joint entitled “Newports,” featured on the fourth installment of All City Records LA 10” series alongside another Detroit to Los Angeles transplant, Jordan Rockswell. All City Records LA 10” Series featuring House Shoes and Jordan Rockswell is out now via 10″ Vinyl, and on iTunes on May 18th. Till then….partake of the freshness.
