- Tim Vitá & Oliver Gehrmann's take on deep house owes much to the warm, organic-sounding approach of UK productions made at the turn of the 21st century. Heavy on the Roland TR-707 and Korg synths, Hammonds and congas, the Berlin-based duo keep it understated on the wistful "Remember," a chopped-up vocal sample contributing to the rhythm track alongside Latin percussion and a throbbing organ riff.
There are nods to the classic house tropes of Sandy Rivera on "Grand Peak," bursting with 707 cowbells and sun-dappled organs as it heads towards a clattering breakdown. The floaty "Second Dub," which uses a fairly liberal chunk of the S.O.S. Band's "You're The Finest" as an anchor, wafts around on a cloud of dreamy synths, guttural percussion and bubbly hi-hats. While there's little new ground broken here, it's the kind of solid, honest house EP that Vità and Gehrmann's compatriots Tiefschwarz would favour.
