WITH U x Joshua Baraka - Girl In Ibiza [Music Video Review]

March 22, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Deep House, Dance, Pop, Afro Beats
“No one deny Tik Tok’s influence on the music industry and this is a track that first found life on the social media app but is now poised to be a breakout Summer hit. The Deep Huse/ Afro Beat song, ‘Girl In Ibiza’ is a track that’s hard not to move to.

WITH U and Joshua Barakea brings continents together in this collaboration spanning from Germany to Kenya.”

      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.”

        “Wade unleashes an infectious Deep House build with his latest track, ‘Hurricane.’ If you don’t want to get up and move you just might be dead ont he inside.

        The lyrics blend well witht he beat and build and while you won’t be listening to this one to uncover the deep meaning of life, you will be pulled in and invested for the entire ride as you move to that beat. ”

          Doppe & Kokke - Run To Me [Music Review]

          February 19, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Deep House, House

          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. ”

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “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.”

              “This Deep House collaboration brings together the talented trio of TORQ, James O’Hea and Derran Day. The smooth vocals of Day, do a great job of delivering TORQ’s story driven lyrics on this track. Meanwhile, O’Hea’s production dials in on both the emotion and musical build, to bring it all to life.

              A fun track that grows on me with each and every listen. ”

                  “House is back in a big way in 2023 and Better is making that wave well… better. 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.”

                            “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.”

                                “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.”

                                    Music P & Marque Aurel once again prove their wide range of house music skills as producers and prepared this gem for every DJ set, that's aimed to get people moving. "Deep Downtown" is an ode to Deep House music in the form of a peak time banger.

                                      “This tracks feels like an instant club classic.

                                      Get up! Hit the floor! Don’t hold back!

                                      ’Discrete’ is the kind of single that makes it possible to lose yourself to the music for a short time. ”

                                        “Wry and danceable, ‘Sadist’ is track we can all relate to, and despite the title, listening to this entertaining track certainly is far from painful. The underlying truths are delivered here with a inescapable beat and rhythm that keeps you engaged to the bitter end.”
