Lea D- Black Soul

"Black Soul"-- the spoken-word deep house tribute to Martin Luther King Jr.-- is Lea D's  latest from In Deep Records. Lea D is the guise used by Baradero-based producer Leandro Dutra who cites deep house, progressive house, and tech house music as his forte. His crafts, moreover, have landed on various labels which include Witty Tunes and Proton Ltd., among others. "Black Soul" comes in three variations-- the original from Argentina's Lea D, and two high-profile remixes from Estonia's Ricky Inch and Russia's Evren Ulusoy.

Black Soul (Original Mix)
Lea D's craft caters dusky atmosphere that perfectly blends with its strong head-nodding stabs and ever-inspiring recording of one of MLK Jr.'s declamations. Superb track right here!

Black Soul (Evren Ulusoy Remix)
Evren Ulusoy constructs a more dance-floor-oriented tune with dubbed vocals and punchy stabs. The breakdown also caters an array of soothing flanged melodies that adds more dance-value to the track.

Black Soul (Ricky Inch Remix)
Ricky Inch-- a well-respected deep house producer hailing all the way from Estonia-- kicks off the last track on the release with his chic interpretation of "Black Soul". This remix caters soulful house elements topped-off with a dash of saxophone samples!

"Black Soul" is already available on your favorite online record stores. Do yourself a favor and grab a copy today!

Claes Rosen- Grenadines

It's been a while since we last heard from the "man of melodies", Claes Rosen. Well, it may have been quite a wait, but with his latest release on Silk Music, "Grenadines"-- the wait was surely worth it! In addition, accompanying Rosen's release are remixes from fellow progressive house producers, B.O.N.G. and Oleg Izergin.

Grenadines (Original Mix)

We know it's a Claes craft when we hear it! For this one, we have our ears feast on his ever-groovy basslines, his chill and poignant piano climax, and not to mention, his echoing leads similar to the ones in "Delirious". Always having ear for very melodic tracks, Claes Rosen provides us with another delightful sunny day soundtrack-- "Grenadines".

Grenadines (B.O.N.G. Remix)

Argentine producer, Juan Carlos Villaba, or simply put B.O.N.G. is one of the most-sought progressive house producers this year! His grounding basslines and warm atmosphere always find a place to belong to.

Grenadines (Oleg Izergin Remix)

A Swedish, an Argentine, and for the third and last artist on the roster, we have a Ukrainian producer. Claes is known for his melodies, Oleg, on the flipside, is known for his very lush and atmospheric sound. Taking "Grenadines" to higher ground, Izergin gives the release package a heightened close!

It's good to see producers make a come-back with fresh releases! Claes, B.O.N.G., and Oleg Izergin have once appeared on Soundscapes, and having them once again is of great pleasure!

B.O.N.G.- Back to Floripa

Summer is just around the corner, and my system, once again, starts to yearn for warm, sun-drenched melodies to stimulate and indulge.


As I allowed my senses to carefully pick tracks out there, I stumbled upon B.O.N.G.’s Back to Floripa track. Actually, Argentina’s talent is not a new name to me; Juan Carlos Villalba’s tracks have been made familiar to me through frequent appearance on various progressive house portals. Aside from that, it was in Jaytech’s music podcast where I first heard and appreciated his sound. Released under the humble and promising Silk Digital Records, it is a pleasure to review B.O.N.G. - Back to Floripa (Original Mix).


Back to Floripa is a melting pot of a minimal version of Dinka’s sound and a denser-sounding Mango. Aside from its stubby basslines, a very melodious and soothing riff brush the track. Surprisingly, Floripa is also an atmospheric track— its subtle echoes add more essence to it. Simple—yes, once again, I use this word to describe something exploding with bliss and crisp.


It’s not yet summer, like what I have said, but I can already imagine my buddies and me on a Sunday morning driving from coast to coast while listening and chilling with this wonderful record from B.O.N.G.
