Review: Arabic deep house, anyone? Here, Deeper Shades take a punt on something a little different from up-and-coming producer Rocco, and by and large it pays off. In its instrumental form, "Saharien Child" is a pretty standard deep houser, propelled by a thick synth bassline and boasting some neat melodic touches. But flip to the Original Mix and you'll find the whole thing lifted by Middle Eastern instruments and a drifting Arabic vocal. It may not be to everyone's tastes, but it works really well - and certainly gives the track a distinctive feel. Lars Behrenroth provides a trio of melancholic remixes, including a heady deep house version and a beatless "Reprise".
