The track "Without You" by dj duo and production partners 'Art Department' made up of Kenny Glasgow and Jonny White perfectly showcases the incredible uniqueness of their sound, featuring the down tempo vocals courtesy of Kenny Glasgow.
"Art Department's 2010 house anthem "Without You" was a simple idea, simply executed: gloriously uncomplicated snapping house percussion and a bassline that sounds like a sinking feeling, while over the top a ghastly corpse of a vocal (via member Kenny Glasgow) intones dully, "I don't know what to do without you/ I just can't make it without you." Glasgow sounds like an obsessive who's lost his grip on reality. Despite the emptiness it was a dancefloor favorite; perhaps dancers recognized its deep well of depression as the necessary flipside to all the good vibes, the dark outline that provides both definition and pathos to endlessly repeated big nights out."
