Ben Dragon and Juliet Mendoza have come together to release “I Wish I Was Your Record,” a track that smoothly pulls listeners into the heart of classic house. The silky production highlights both artists’ styles, blending their skills into one tight package. The line, “I wish I was your record, baby,” hovers over gentle keys, while the beat stays light yet undeniably strong, giving the whole piece a seamless flow.
The reception has been strong. It’s pretty clear-cut: Noizu calls it “Sick!”, Jamie Jones admits he’s “Feeling this,” and Black V Neck? Just says it’s a “Nice one!” It’s the kind of track that doesn’t need extra flair – it simply delivers.
Before making waves in house, Ben Dragon cut his teeth in LA, working in studios alongside Grammy winners in pop and R&B. Eventually, he pivoted, bringing the same energy to house music. His journey led him to stages across Europe, festivals like KAABOO, and performances at underground spots. Juliet Mendoza, on the other hand, comes from LA’s underground, rising through the mid-90s club scene as a dancer and DJ, now holding her own across the globe. In 2022, Defected Records recognized her as an Unsung Hero, giving her solid recognition where recognition was needed.
