Déepalma EP, Vol. 8 brings a pleasant blend of four upfront house cuts

Returning for the eighth volume of their self-titled VA, the latest edition of the Déepalma EP brings a pleasant blend of four upfront house cuts from artists around the world.

Opening the release, Mathias D., Kocham & Guibour’s ‘Yemen’ sets an appealing tone with a chugging 4/4 beat and an exotic vocal hook. Beyond that, its building keys drive deep into the track, intensifying to carve out a certified floor filler.

Ucha comes next with his re-twist of ‘Shosholoza’, bringing swaying energy and melodic focus from the outset. An emphasis on percussive elements gives the track an elegant allure, with the rise and fall of striking keys meeting captivating strings, brass and fills throughout.

Meines’ Paradise Beach mix of ‘Ajuti’ follows, bringing more sultry energy and resonating factors. Silky strings and synths slide in and out of a hypnotic female vocal, driven gently by sturdy drums and percs, sweeping you up in its ambience – with ease.

Some & Different closes the EP with ‘Work It Out’, a rolling groover with a pleasantly surprising vocal presence. Its terrace tech rhythm provides the perfect contrast for an undeniably compelling combination of dazzling piano lines, sharp strings and a momentous vocal hook.

‘Déepalma EP, Vol. 8’ is out now on all major platforms via Déepalma Records.
