Seraphine- Costa Lounge

About:


DeepWit Recordings takes us into the depths of audio perception once again, this time with Seraphine's brand new release, "Costa Lounge". Seraphine, for starters, is the guise of Polish deep house producer and DJ, Sylwester Gębczyk. But don't get us wrong, Seraphine is no new name on the label. In fact, "State of Mind and Memories" was Seraphine's debut release (together with Silt) on DeepWit back in May 2011, while "Just a Dream", also another track from him was included in the highly-acclaimed DeepWit Recordings Autumn Sampler. 


"Costa Lounge" is a four-track release that not only features Seraphine's two originals: "Costa Lounge" and "Another Boring Love Story", but also showcases the sounds of fellow-Polish artist, Tom Bednarczyk and DeepWit head honcho, Alvaro Hylander!


Sounds Like:


"Costa Lounge", the original mix is all about the deep Rhode chords, resonant vocal samples, and punchy hi-hat work. Of course, the bass is a given-- deep, groovy, smooth. This original mix, in addition, is something one would fully appreciate on a roof-deck or on a balcony far away from bustling cities. 


The Tom Bednarczyk remix of "Costa Lounge" on the other hand intensifies the energy of the track by adding more resonance and by giving more emphasis on the percussion-- brilliant.


Things get a little darker with "Another Boring Love Story"-- a track dubbed with a seemingly seductive dialogue sample and patched up with a strongly filtered and flanged chord. 


Last, Alvaro Hylander takes "Another Boring Love Story" and turns it into one of his own. Expect the trademark sound of Alvaro Hylander: a sound of discriminating shade of deepness that will definitely seduce you to the deeper side of sound.




Recommendation:


"Costa Lounge" from the elegant title itself seemed promising-- it was something that enticed us into expecting something of pure quality and class. The actual release didn't deviate far from our expectations: Seraphine walked the talk with this fantastic release and it also made us want to look forward to more of his productions!


We also think it would be premature to end this review without recommending the fine fine FINE craft from Alvaro Hylander, so guys, don't even attempt to check-out your cart without the Alvaro Hylander remix of "Another Boring Love Story"!
