Javier Varez- You Are Here

It's no surprise that Spanish producer, Javier Varez had pulled off a remarkable debut on DeepWit Recordings, the Denmark-based deep house record label by Alvaro Hylander and Sierra Chandler. Weeks before we got word about his debut release, we have already been frequenting Javier's releases from different labels including his remix on "Turn it Around", released on Solardish Records. We discovered that Javier Varez is always a step ahead of his game, producing sounds so different from other deep house artists-- and his sound is something that constantly changes release by  release! His debut release, "You Are Here" brings to DeepWit territory Varez's ingenious yet organic sound consequentially featuring the smooth and deep sounds of Dirty Culture and Alex Sosa!


The original mix of "You Are Here" actually caught us off-guard. A few seconds into the track, we thought that Javier would be dropping some deep and subtle sounds-- but we were wrong. Javier surprised us with a dashing arrangement of groovy bass so groovy that we couldn't stop tapping our feet for about an hour while playing the track. On top of the bass, you'll be able to hear some thin-layered synths, panning vocals snippets, suave flanged chords, and more groove factor! Excellent track, you can never go wrong with this one!


To keep things short and sweet, here are the things you need to know about the remixes and the B-side of the release: first-up, Romanian DJ and producer Tudor-Radu Barbu sets forth a groovy chord-led reinterpretation as his celebrated guise, Dirty Culture. Alex Sosa also puts together a somewhat deep tech-inspired remix for the release. 


The last track that brings the release to a close is "Round Numbers", also by Javier Varez. "Round Numbers" uses some elements of his remix on "Turn it Around" while at the same time introducing a different kind of approach to his productions. Upbeat and brilliant-- this is "Round Numbers"!
