The Sound and the Spirit
“Siente El Ritmo”—which means “Feel The Rhythm” in Spanish—is XIE channeling the vibrant spirit of Latin dance culture with a nod to old-school house roots. The track kicks off with a classic four-on-the-floor beat, a staple of house music that echoes the genre’s Chicago origins in the ‘80s, paired with crisp hi-hats and a funky bassline that gets you moving. XIE leans into the percussion hard, layering in hypnotic Latin rhythms that give it a fiery, danceable edge—think traditional drums that pulse with energy. ANGE’s evocative vocals glide over the beat, sultry and commanding, inviting you to lose yourself in the music. It’s a perfect blend of nostalgic house grooves and modern tech house flair, with a pop crossover appeal that makes it a standout on the Lady of the House compilation.
XIE, a rising star from LA, is a multi-hyphenate artist who’s been making waves in the house scene. Classically trained in piano and strings, she brings a depth and precision to her productions that’s hard to miss. Her background as a songwriter and vocalist shines through in her ability to craft tracks that are both club-ready and emotionally resonant. She’s already rocked stages like Coachella’s Do LaB, HARD Summer, and EDC Las Vegas, sharing the spotlight with names like Bob Sinclar and Kyle Watson. Following 2023 releases like “C’est La Vie” and “Birds In Paradise” on Thrive Music, and her recent single “LOVE LANGUAGE,” “Siente El Ritmo” marks her debut on the UK’s Lady of the House label, ahead of her upcoming Kick Drum Heart EP. XIE’s sound is a kaleidoscopic fusion of UK-inspired tech house and pop elements, and this track shows off her knack for blending cultures and genres into something fresh and infectious.
House music, especially with old-school influences, is having a moment in 2025—think of how artists like Peggy Gou are bringing back that ‘90s vibe with a modern twist. “Siente El Ritmo” taps into that wave, with its Latin-infused energy making it a perfect fit for playlists like Spotify’s Housewerk or Beatport’s tech house charts, where similar tracks have been gaining traction. XIE’s choice to highlight Latin dance culture also reflects a broader trend in electronic music, where global influences—like the Arabic drums in Rechelle’s “DRIP” or the Afro house beats in DJ Ferno’s “Andinalo”—are enriching the genre.
