REVIEW BY ARTAN TELQIU

DJ Bullent Billie Dee - In Da Music
-------------------------------------------------------
This ep comes in 11 mixes. The overall vibe which can be found in most of the mixes is soul tech house like, rather laid back with positive sound scapes and amusing rhythms. Mixes which pop out of the crowded bag of mixes to me are the "Ali Blackblast Remix, Babylon Club Edit" and the "Claudio Climaco Remix". Ali Blackblast seems to understand how to recreate a vibe anno 1996-97, namely a vibe often found in records on Dutch labels such as Work, Fresh Fruit; sounds and sound patterns present here, were their trade mark at the time. They gained huge success with it. Let's hope history repeats itself and Deep Nota Records receives the credit it deserves. The element which keeps hanging in this version , is the repetitive snare-like high hat. It provides this version with a different angle, making it stand out from the bunch. The "Joe Nolan - Babylon Club Edit" seems to take us back to the beginning of the eighties when disco was fading away and synthesizer music was in an experimental phase to most of us. With the previous sentence I'm referring to the overall vibe; this version sounds completely different than the other mixes and adds more value to this package. In my opinion this version is open to a wider range of clubs and audiences; it steps away from the techy music-cloud and takes on a more clubby approach, this can be played in straight clubs as well as the gay scene can appreciate this sound. Claudio Climaco goes for peaktime with a firm and tight tech house big room party anthem. A build up crafted in a way it doesn't give the best part away to soon. A repetitive stripped down pattern gets thrown in at around 3.30 minutes, with a wink to Plastikman in his spastik period. Hands up for shure.. Deep Nota Records is widening its wings, with these last ep's I can hear a variation of sounds and approaches towards quality and true house music. Micky K and his artists are taking on the challenge and the risk of surprising us with every ep released on Deep Nota Records. Those who are looking for the same thing over and over again with every release on a label, won't last long. But I would recommend to check Deep Nota out on every ep they release. Because seriously, it's something to look forward to..

Goiko & Josh - The Aperitif ep / Deep Nota Records
------------------------------------------------
The aperitif ep he?! Well that's exactly what this ep is about. "The beginning" can be ... the beginning of an evening out, a dinner, a barbecue with some friends or played in a DJ set at some chique lounge bar. I'm only saying this to make sure you understand where this track will fit in. I would even play it in a late night set as the groove has a certain hypnotic feel to it. Build according the latest moods in electronic music, the rhythmical patterns sound fresh and renewing. Again several completely different elements are combined to build a majestic pleasure for the ears amusing song. There are the subtle jazzy keys which add a calming tone to it and the synth melody which adds tension and builds this tension up as it is gently floating to the surface of the track. I would dare to call this composing, modern composing. There's a lot more going on here than just putting sounds together and making sure it all fits in. Another excellent track for my radio show on http://www.zenfm.be. "Captcha" seems to be inspired by authentic african drums and dito rhythms. The way the rhythmical structure is programmed, you can hear there's a producer at work who loves his trade and takes the time to create music which will keep people's attention on it, one hand and on the other, music to be proud of. A feel of mysteriosity is on its place here with the little voice-esque high hats that pop in on a regular interval, pouring in some hypnotic drops. It makes the track sound friendly and sensual too, always a good thing for us humans." We are your friends" is a right on 4x4 track aimed at the floor of the better house clubs, a rather classic build up with stripped down organic sounds, providing us with a feel good track. Jazzy keys form the main part here and partly responsible for the positive vibe. Again, hypnotic female effect-isized voice stabs put in a certain human feel and emotion. A remarkable fact is the variation between the male and female repetitive voice, doing so the track is more vibrant and alive. "Ayahuasco"'s tight and nervous rhythm is a track to be played in an advanced build up towards peak time. The contagious groove drenches the track in a time to get loose spirit. The subtle breaks holds the tension, just to release it at the right moment. This track is perfect material to tease your crowd with. It prepares them but keeps them on a certain level, makes them ready for peak time anthems. So, a crucial track for your DJ sets if you ask me.

Imaani Brown-Pieces EP

Imaani Brown on Deep Nota Records, can't go wrong. In fact, when I think about it ... it's only logical these 2 titans of quality music have found each other. I recently had some contact with Mr. Imaani Brown through Soundcloud, an excellent platform to get your music listened to. I admire his style and respect his producer skills a lot. It's a good thing for Deep Nota Records they got him signed to their fantastic label. Now about the ep, Dis Poem is a rather energetic track with a soulful twist; energetic for its rhytm structure and soulful for the synth which adds most of the instrumental body to the track. It's a rather fresh approach by Mr. Imaani Brown as he mixes two completely different elements together and creates a track which sounds original and shows us Mr. Brown's sense for creativity. So, excellent material for Deep Nota Records; quality comes first as we're used from Mr. Mickey K and the other Deep Nota artists. Down flirts with a percussive nervous rhythm which gives the track a unique vibration. When played on a decent sound system, it will be hard not to start dancing. One thing I find remarkable in Down is the little, practically unnoticeable sounds which make this track more alive even though there's a certain repetitive pattern going on. These little sounds are there for this purpose only but they are so needed to give the track its unique character. Leave them out and you'll probably end up with a track not worthy to be released on Deep Nota Records. But Mr Brown masters his craft as he shows us on this fine pieces ep. On to the next track, Naked Truth, which goal is to get those hands up in the air and to lift the night or party into utopian heights. The element taking care of that is some nasty string like synth which opens up to those subtle harsh and high "party anthem" frequencies as the micro breaks progress and to disappear in the tight and right on rhythmic groove as soon as the kick drops in. Not to much sonic fantasy here but a 4 to the floor funky and sexy smooth tech party anthem. Pieces, one of my favourite here, resides in the jazzy house pool. Sensual keys and phat high hats are the elements which are the melodic tasty juice on this soulful and atmospheric track. One definitely to be played in my next radio show on www.zenfm.be and in my Easy Notes Podcast (cupa-events.be). A track perfect for those lounge bars, even restaurants and shops can play this. It's pleasant and sociable and its funkiness will work those female hips to. Trouble keeping the ladies amused? Play Pieces. Street Dreams has the pleasant spirit like the other tracks on this ep, its sound is some what different though as the approach seems to come from a totally different angle as the other tracks. I would say its inspired by some semidarkness with the last sun sparkles still just above the horizon. It has that laid back atmosphere which I like so much. It's like tracks with this atmosphere emit a special sense of calm, it brings out a spiritual dimension, a stimulation for inner piece. My general thought on this ep is that it's a good thing for Deep Nota Records to bring another talented and gifted musician like Imaani Brown in to the Deep Nota stable. Though the label has a high standard and reputation to keep up with when it comes down to quality, Mr. Imaani Brown's Pieces ep definitely delivers a fresh sound on Deep Nota Records.

Plastic Heaven-Falling EP

Deep Nota takes on the challenge of releasing some rather experimental ep. "Femme Fatale" sounds like a ballade on speed. Lo-fi sounds and a pitched up voice make this an eccentric and out of the ordinary track. With this kind of tracks I'm always asking myself "where am I going to play this?". I know it's hard to put on in the middle of a set but I always end up purchasing a track like this; why? Because it's quality and has an artistic value you can not find in 4 to the floor tracks. Releasing tracks like this one, adds a certain artistic flavour to a label.So, Deep Nota you keep surprising me and hopefully not only me but the rest of the world to. If I was playing the closing set on a night, I would play this as one of my last tracks. The surprising ending also opens up possibilities for the creative DJ. If you're one of those, you'll know what I mean. "No score" is a nasty and dirty 80's-esque house track with a tight kick and seducive voice. Definitely a track for my 15-Track Podcast hosted on www.culpa-events.be. The bells bubbling in are of huge sonical value for the completeness of this track. "Keep Falling" is like a combination of 80's sounding rhythms with 70's stripped down disco stabs arising in the rhythm. That's only the beginning of the track. When the track continues, it's overall sound scape seems to be influenced by balearic freedom; a sound which creates a feel inside hard to describe, a feel which can cure your deepest inner grief and replaces it with a feel of freedom, happiness. What do you want more? "Mess Today" is a slight melancholic modern ballad, a bit like "Femme Fatale" but deeper and darker. This is a song for the radio, to be programmed day time on the better alternative radios. Surprising and quality music on Deep Nota Records.
