Album Review: Show Ya How by Tomas Marc
Alright, let’s talk about Show Ya How by Tomas Marc. Released in 2016 under Brooklyn Fire, this electro house banger is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. You think it’s just another electronic release, but then—boom—it sticks in your head like gum on a hot sidewalk. The vibe? Pure energy. The genre? Electro house with a splash of that US swagger.
First off, the title track, “Show Ya How,” is an absolute vibe. It’s the kind of song that grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you awake. The beat is punchy, the synths are sharp, and there’s this infectious groove that makes you wanna move—even if you’re just sitting at your desk pretending to work. I remember this one because it feels like a late-night drive through neon city lights, even if you’re stuck in your living room. It’s got this raw edge to it, like Tomas wasn’t trying too hard to make it perfect, and that’s what makes it so damn good.
Then there’s “Muffins.” Yeah, I said it—Muffins. Don’t ask me why he named it that; maybe he was hungry while producing it. But man, this track slaps. It’s got this playful bounce to it, like it’s daring you to take it seriously. The drops are wild, and there’s this cheeky layer of sound that keeps you guessing. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded of those random nights where you end up dancing in the kitchen for no reason. You know the ones.
What I love about this album is how unapologetically fun it is. It doesn’t try to be deep or overly artistic—it just wants you to have a good time. And honestly? That’s refreshing. In a world full of moody EDM and overproduced beats, Show Ya How feels like hanging out with an old friend who just gets it.
Here’s the thing though—listening to this album made me realize something kinda weird. Electro house might be all about the bass and the beats, but at its core, it’s kinda like muffins. Stay with me here. Muffins seem simple, right? But when they’re done right, they’re unforgettable. Same with this album. Tomas Marc isn’t reinventing the wheel, but he’s reminding us why we fell in love with electro house in the first place.
So yeah, check out Show Ya How. Crank it up, let loose, and maybe grab a muffin while you’re at it. Who knows? You might just find yourself dancing in the kitchen.
