- The name Santos may be familiar to many of you after their massive club track, ‘Camels’, made a big impact worldwide not so long ago. They return to their beloved Mantra Vibes label to deliver their 4 Traxx EP, which continues in their filtered disco house sound.
Ashra gets straight to the point with a quirky melody that rides the deep funky baselines that Santos is known for. Santos uses a good arrangment that sees the track build in and out, and also uses cut ins and random effects for the dancefloor to react to.
The uniquely named Toilet is far from the quality that the title suggests. In fact this may be the strongest production on the EP for me. The baseline yet again does the damage while an electro synth melody gives it a good vibe in the breakdowns. Quirky yet bags of fun.
We Desire is the ladies friendly anthem on the EP with the use of a housey vocal sample looped over the baseline fuelled beats and somewhat retro vibes. Not bad but perhaps the weakest link on the EP.
It’s Time cranks the tempo a little bit and makes good use of higher end sounds, while the beats and deeper base chug along in the background.
Not a bad EP from Santos, and one that will definitely appeal to the house heads looking to take the tempo up in their sets. It appears Santos definitely knows how to work the floors, with this EP a clear example.
