About:
Staying consistently to its house music roots while openly embracing the evolving styles in the ever-growing music industry is what Salted Music does best. Established by the iconic music producer and DJ, Miguel Migs, Salted Music has garnered its place as one of the well-known house music labels in the world-- both in name and in sound.
Featuring the sounds of Thor, James Dexter, Arco, and Franco de Mulero, "The Flavor Saver EP" Volume 8 is a palette of definitive tunes from both new and old artists on the label that further solidifies the fresh, groovy, and eclectic sounds of Salted Music!
Sounds Like:
First in the release is the intoxicating deep-tech and vintage-sounding track from Thor, "Underground Sound (Git Dowichazz)". Next up is the smooth-flowing classic house track from James Dexter, "Give Me Something"-- the vocal snippets, rhodes, and the bustling snare-clap interplay really get the groove on!
Coming in with higher energy and intensified groove, "Don't Hold Back" by Arco really is one floor-filler! Of course, expect more rhode slicks, body-moving bass, and a fantastic snare roll on this one. "Soul Mood Mallorca" may be the last track in this release, but it definitely is not the least. . . Franco De Mulero brings this release to a close with a dazzling array of soul-shaking sounds straight from the Balearic Islands!
Recommendation:
If you're a house music DJ and you're reading this review, get this release right now. You'll never know-- The Flavor Saver Vol. 8 may just save your life one day. . .

Break it Down (Original Mix)
The first track is a result of pouring together groovy basslines, infectious chord progressions, and vocal-led fillers! If you need something to start those legs movin old-school style, then "Break it Down" is what you want. Let's break it down like this!
Talamanca (Original Mix)
Something bass-led as the second installment in "Fundamentals EP". Aside from the head-nodding basslines and laidback pads, expect crunchy hi-hats, rightly-timed vocal bits, and livening strings for a change!
Motor City (Original Mix)
Of course, the third release carries the trademark sound of Detroit house music-- reverbed swaying chords, bustling percussion, deep techno-influenced pads, sky-reaching strings, filtered vocal snippets, and body-moving bass! Well, if you're keen enough, you'll realize that the title, "Motor City" gives it away.
