Soul Express France Vinilo y CD

Review: On their second EP together, this Italian duo lean fully into a sun-drenched, acid-laced strain of deep house that pulls from all corners of the genre's golden eras. It feels rich with references but still sharply executed, never sounding like mere nostalgia. 'Insatiable' wastes no time getting to work. It's a classic-styled acid house heater, built around a tight, jackin rhythm and a vocal that punches right through. The drum programming is sharp and restless, giving it that club edge while staying warm and human. 'Acid Memories' goes lighter, almost balearic in its dreamlike glide. The acid lines are gentle, swirling around a beautiful keyboard motif that feels like an afternoon fading into dusk on the coast. 'Mimosa' taps into something deeper and sweatier. It's got that Wild Pitch vibe, all shadowy keys and late-night thump, straight out of a dim New York basement. Flip the record and 'Computer Machine' brings a more tech-leaning flavor. Think early 90s dream house with a machine soul. Then there's 'Cala Bassa'. which is a total comedown moment. Lush pads, jazzy flourishes and a slow, beachy tempo that lets the record end in a breath of sea air. A proper journey.
