Review: 'Deep River' by the dynamic duo of Drivetrain and Melodymann is a transatlantic journey through the heart and soul of house music. Hailing from Detroit and Belgium, respectively, this collaboration is a harmonious blend of old-school Chicago and Detroit house vibes, paying homage to the genre's rich history while injecting it with a fresh, modern twist. It starts with a this retro-meets-ultramodern fusion with 'Music Got Me', a rolling bassline carries a melodious string accompaniment, all tied together with an arresting vocal hook that's like a siren's call to the dancefloor. The 'Afterhours Mix' takes a slightly different route, adding an electronic touch to the retro syncopation making it a late-night delight. Following, 'Keep It Movin' by Melodymann is a masterclass in intelligent house music. Uplifting vocal drops, spicy horn fills, funky basslines, and electrifying beat oscillations come together in a symphony of groove that's impossible to resist. 'Up & Down' maintains the energy but adds jazzy keyboard riffs to the mix, creating a dynamic contrast to the vocal slices that continue to drop over bouncing subfrequencies. Soiree Records has served up a delectable dish that leaves you craving more.
