Seraphine- Going Deep EP

About: 

Seraphine (Sylwester Gębczyk) is without a doubt, one of the few breakthrough artists in the deep house scene in 2011. He has nailed releases on A-list labels such as DeepWit Recordings, Brown Eyed Boyz Records, and Cromarti Records to name a few, and this release on Solardish Records, "Going Deep EP" simply shows how in-demand Seraphine's crafts are in the scene. 

"Going Deep EP" essentially features two tracks remixed by Seraphine, two tracks that will demonstrate that anything this guy touches turns into gold!

Sounds Like:

Let's keep it short but sweet. Both Seraphine remixes of Cike's "Dramamine" and Multiphase & Keen's "Afterglow" are on their own flawlessly deep reworks. "Dramamine" caters laid-back vibe from the Rhodes and a resonating pattern of stabs and vocal snippets. "Afterglow", on the other hand, rains down a smoother array of sounds from Seraphine, and expect it to be, obviously, deep.

Recommendation:

These are the kinds of tracks a deep house DJ can easily rely on-- they work well in dark club rooms or in laid-back open-air bars. Well, to be more specific, take "Dramamine" with you in your main room escapades while trust "Afterglow" to do its job in the cozy outdoors. Either way, both tracks will definitely not disappoint you.

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"!

DeepWit Recordings Autumn Sampler

Tracklist: 

1. Andre Detoxx- Over The Hill (Original Mix) 
2. David Oniani- One Piano (Original Mix)

About: Deepwit Recordings, the Denmark-based deep house label founded by Alvaro Hylander and Sierra Chandler, have been through quite a lot in their almost-one-year of existence. Since the day the label saw light earlier this year, DeepWit has been releasing special seasonal releases to complement their listeners' mood, on top of the regular single releases they make. Now to celebrate the serenity of autumn season, DeepWit is back with their Autumn Sampler that features brand new productions from Andre Detoxx, David Oniani, Deep Spelle, Distortion, and Serpahine.

Sounds like: Autumn. For the first two tracks of the release, you can expect gentle rhodes, saxophones, chimes, and some delicate vocal snippets. For the last three, however, things get deeper as you get to hear flickering rhode slicks, bold basslines, and groovy monotonous vocal snippets. 

Recommendations: "Over the Hill" and "One Piano" really captured the essence of this release, these two tracks you definitely have to listen to. On the other hand, "End of the Line" is our favorite among the deeper tracks in this release-- the sparring combinations of deep bass, rhode slicks, and the panning vocals really did the job!

Alvaro Hylander- Feels Right

Soundscapes by Motionmigs is very grateful to have received this special four-track release, "Feels Right" from Spanish deep house producer, Alvaro Hylander! Before we, however, go through the tracks of this spectacular Alma Soul Music release, let us first talk about the man behind all of these. Alvaro Hylander, although of Spanish descent, is currently based in Denmark. As a producer, he has worked with various labels like Da Funk's Acryl Music, Solardish, and a lot of other labels including Alma Soul Music. For those who do not know yet, Hylander is currently working on his biggest project to date-- his very own deep house label entitled, DeepWit Recordings. 

Feels Right (Original Mix)

The unadulterated deep house sound of Alvaro Hylander is clearly manifested in the original mix of "Feels Right". Smooth, laid-back and eclectic in nature, "Feels Right", with its sliding bass, is definitely something for the true deep house connoisseurs out there!

Feels Right (Seraphine Remix)

Dubbed with a couple of stylish Rhode organ chords, and a slightly-electrifying bass, "Feels Right" takes on a hipper route from the original.

Visions of Maydell (Original Mix)

"Visions of Maydell" drifts to a more hypnotic atmosphere with its eminent deep rhythms and dropping bass. Aside from which, its heart-pounding kicks do their job in pumping more energy into the track.

Visions of Maydell (Dario RC Deepness Remix)

Louder kicks, louder bass, louder everything-- Dario RC's Deepness Remix is a certified mind-blowing tune! It's quite difficult not to groove to this masterpiece. . .
