Forget playing with fire: Roy LaCroix wants you to burn from the inside out with his sweltering new house track, “Tabasco.”
The Los Angeles-based DJ and producer creates a shaky beat with a seductive vocal hook, each line filled with sizzling innuendo. The result is a delightfully unconventional house anthem that scorches the senses with its fiery wordplay and strident bass lines.
LaCroix even used real peppers to bring the track to life, holding them with alligator clips and sending them to Ableton Live as MIDI through a Playtron unit. This innovative device allows musicians to transform everyday objects into a keyboard or synthesizer.

“Tabasco” is a passionate love letter to spicy condiments and the heat they provide, comparing a muse to a “sriracha queen” whose “spices don't expire.” Paired with a drop that slides and contorts with extravagant synths, LaCroix's lyrics manage to turn something as mundane as hot sauce into an auditory aphrodisiac.
All said and done, the new single is a party on a plate: strange, wonderfully twisted and guaranteed to reach for a metaphorical glass of water. Listen to the song, available now via Music is 4 Lovers, below.
