Freedom Soundz Sampler Vol 1 vinyl

Swiss label Freedom Soundz serves up a menu of four deep house variants with their latest VA Sampler Volume. Opener "Blue Note" from Attias brothers Alex and Stephane is an upbeat and percussive mind bender; long synth notes and a mellow bass line give a languid style, serving as a pleasing contrast to its dancefloor-centric vocal line. A Side counterpart "City Drum Central" exudes jazzy piano riffs and an upbeat, straight house beat. Shuffling along with metallic snares, a heavy electronic keyboard comes into play and punches its way through till its bitter end. On the flip, Aldo Kapone's "Just Dance" begins with a crisp rhythmic intro and heavy kick, before steering us into an unexpected but hypnotic swagger. Maurice's "Still", with its delayed stabbing echo, steady piano and suave jazzy hats, stands out at the sophisticated deep house fan's choice cut on this release.
