Phree Direxion - Frequencies [Music Review]

July 29, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Deep House
“Phree Direxion is a vibe and his latest release, ‘Frequencies’ captures that in smooth glorious notes that rise and build into a an outright mood. This is the kind of Deep house music you can close your eyes and lose yourself while completely straight. Of course with the right bit of pharmacology you can go even deeper and lose yourself for a time.”

    The Smallest Number - Don't Let Go [Music Review]

    May 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Deep House, House
    “Love can be fleeting and ‘Don’t let Go’ from The Smallest Number is a Deep house track about trying to hold onto a love that you feel slipping away. The emotional track builds and swells in both arrangement and emotion pulling the listener along while also settling over you like the feeling of a warm hug from a friend.”

          Tiesto x Soaky Siren - Tantalizing [Music Review]

          November 11, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Deep House

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Getting out on the dance floor and losing all sense of place and time is what we all need from time to time. ‘Tantalizing’ by Tiesto and Soaky Siren is the perfect track to do so.

          Clean production and a tasty build keep you leaning in. No, this offering isn’t going to shatter expectations lyrically, but then again it doesn’t need to. It says and does enough to be perfect for just letting everything go and getting your body moving.”

              Rating: 3.5 out of 5

              “This Deep House track from Doppe & Kokke has a slowish build over the first minute which fits the genre. The track sets a mood and vibe quite nicely and the smooth clean production is without a single misstep. The vocal performance is every bit as engaging and the emotional side of the track builds in a tangible way carrying the listener along for an exquisite journey. ”

                “CZTRM does a nice job of blending the produced side of this track with emotional and tender, heartfelt vocal delivery. The track has a Dance/Deep House vibe in the beat and overall build. The energy is light, but engaging.

                Vocally, the delivery sparkles with life and just calls to the human soul. This is the kind of track that can turn your entire mood around. Uplifting without being too obvious about it.”

From the catchy vocal cutting through the perfectly side-chained production, to the chords setting the perfect bed of emotion, this record feels like summer in Ibiza. The record is hypnotic and understated, but has peaks and valleys in all the right places. Expect to hear this all summer.”

                            “Sydney based producer, ZUSO teams up with the vocal talent of LA’s Jaki Nelson for this after hours vibe that wraps around the listener like a firm hug. A track that simply feels right and comfortable, ‘Take Me’ is sort of tranquil and calm, yet still uplifting.

                            The production is spot on and the vocals sync perfectly to create the exact track you need after a long night of being on the dancefloor.

                            Call it a coming down song if you will but don’t dismiss this one as an afterthought, as it certainly has strong legs of its own.”

The first beat drop launches the track forward and sets the hook. VAVO and Clara Mae utilize their talents in tandem to create ‘Take ME Home’ and the result is fantastic.”

                                “If Tom Waits were to drop a Deep House track, it would sound a whole lot like this.

                                End of Code delivers a brooding track that offers enough heartbeat and emotion to keep you leaning in. ‘The Fall’ is a nicely balanced track allowing the build and progression to do as much work as the lyrics and vocal performance.”

                                  CHEL - Nasty Woman [Music Video Review]

                                  “Labeled as so-called nasty women in certain political circles, the strong and fiercely independent ladies of this world have something to say and damn it, they refuse to be silenced. CHEL is among the proud, the brave, the bold — and on this Soulful Pop track, she makes her ‘Nasty Woman’ proclamations in loud, talented tones that draw a line in the sand for anyone looking for a fight.”

                                    Jon Sine - About You [Review]

                                    “Jon Sine follows up his biggest song as yet, ‘All About,’ with a new single ‘About You.’ Featuring the vocal talent of Diandra Faye, this new track is a light and airy, with engaging lyrics that are easy to sing along with. The energy of the single delivers an island vibe as it explores a renewed independence after having a relationship where everything was about the other party.

                                    ’About You’ is about that breath of fresh air on the other side of a break up.”

                                      “This track delivers an exotic, almost dangerous vibe that instills an eager anticipation as you listen. Beneath that is a melancholy undertone that adds yet another layer to the single. Matter of fact, layered is the best way to describe this single from wrs.

                                      The production brings different elements over the top of a steady beat and the various embellishments all add to the emotion of the track. Lyrically, ‘why’ deals with a love, or at least infatuation gone bad.

                                      The imagery of the video brings all of this alive with vivid, understated imagery.”

                                        “The beat and vocal vibe work well together here to instill an attitude that goes well with the groove. The build is subtle, but effective making this a nicely produced track all the way through.”
