House of Wallenberg takes you back to the roots of house music with new single ‘I Believe’ featuring house legend Adeva.

In an age awash with whitewashed EDM, Swedish artist, DJ and producer Petter Wallenberg celebrates house music in its original form: queer, black and vocal driven. On the mic he has some of house history’s most legendary voices, such as Adeva who features on new single ‘I Believe’, out now.

The new single is taken from Wallenberg’s new album ‘My House Is Your House’ which sees him collaborating with some of the most important voices of classic house music. The single features Adeva, who alongside Frankie Knuckles was one of the early pioneers of the music style in the late 80’s. This reclusive ‘Greta Garbo’ of house has since long withdrawn from the limelight, so the guest appearance is not only a comeback for the powerhouse singer, but also a unique collaboration which celebrates house music’s roots in soul and gospel.

“Early house was inspired by gospel,” says Petter Wallenberg. “The music style originated in the black gay clubs of Chicago, with gospel vocals on top of electronic beats. The dance floor became the new church. That’s where I want to take you. This is gospel for sinners.”

The video to ‘I Believe’ (to be revealed soon) was directed by Petter Wallenberg himself and filmed on the streets of London, exploring the lives of real people. It involves a fascinating mix of characters, from inner city teenagers in school uniforms and dancers to the the famous 84-year-old British artist Molly Parkin, all sharing an insight into their beliefs and dreams.

‘I Believe’ ft. Adeva is out now.

The album, ‘My House is Your House’ is released on June 3.
