Ben Dragon & Juliet Mendoza fuse classic house vibes in “I Wish I Was Your Record”

Ben Dragon and Juliet Mendoza have joined forces to deliver something truly special in “I Wish I Was Your Record.” This track is a masterclass in what house music should be—stripped back, groove-heavy, and effortlessly cool.

From the moment the beat kicks in, you’re transported to a place where simplicity reigns supreme. There’s no clutter or over-the-top production here, just a clean, well-crafted foundation that allows each element to breathe. The vocal sample, “I wish I was your record, baby,” sits right at the heart of the track, repeating like a mantra, drawing you deeper into its hypnotic pull.

The magic lies in the chemistry between the crisp keys and the smooth, understated percussion. The instrumental interplay creates a vibe that’s both fresh and familiar, giving a nod to classic house while keeping things firmly rooted in the present.

Big names in the house scene are already taking notice. Noizu labeled it as “sick,” Jamie Jones is feeling it, and Black V Neck called it a “nice one.” The praise is well-deserved, as this track perfectly encapsulates that deep, soulful house vibe that’s been missing in so many modern productions.

Released on Walker & Royce’s RDA Records, “I Wish I Was Your Record” feels right at home. It’s the kind of track that works just as well on a packed dance floor as it does in your headphones during a late-night session. Dragon and Mendoza have nailed the balance between keeping things chill yet danceable, offering something for the true house heads who appreciate subtlety over flash.

There’s no need for any fancy tricks here—just good, old-fashioned house music, done right. If you’ve been craving a track that embodies the essence of the genre without veering into the mainstream, “I Wish I Was Your Record” is exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
