- Sultan and The Greek (aka Tone Depth) have been responsible for countless remixes and productions over the years, working together on tracks from people such as Portishead whilst having original productions showcased on high-class compilations such as Deep Dish’s Toronto Global Underground.
Rezin encapsulates smooth beats and rhythms with gorgeous synths which constantly take effect throughout the track. The breakdown is long and teasing with soft, stabbing synths and low sounds but is brought back in with solid double beats and distorted effects. The track remains quite minimal throughout with the element of groove around each corner.
The Valentino Mix of Rezin picks up the beats showcasing a strong percussive element with the original melodic loop and rolling, acid effects. Some strings are introduced into the breakdown and give off a moody feeling which are then greeted by some wiked synth chord action alongside building melodies. Short, pounding bongo samples come in every 32 beats and really add to each section from breakdown to mid climax. Nice interpretation on the melody by Valentino.
Wadi is another minimal, emotional piece which features beautiful vocals, atmospheric sounds and simple baselines. The melody rotates as it drifts in softly or is looped and reverbed but the main feature here is the vocal as the lyrics push the track along.
Quite an impressive release with deep house on the menu. Valentino’s mix will give you that dance floor hit.
