DSF Vinyl & CDs

Review: This is the fourth compilation installment in Peace Symphonies' series that features multiple artists they are working with. Since starting up two years ago, this Moscow label is fast becoming one of the top avenues for house music in the country. DSF offers us 'Yes, Of Course' and 'Zorbas' for the A-side. The first one is a melodic builder that is equally beautiful as it is driving, giving us some soft trance vibes. The latter is a grooving techno jam that is spacey and ideal for stargazing on the dancefloor. For the second side, 'Ashwaganda' by Ventt & Keparys has a more tribal and African flavor to it. The EP closes out with the pair doing a fast-paced tech house gem in 'Saltwater', tinged with some superlative Balearic sounds.

Review: If you're looking for some dreamy and cathartic deep house sounds for either the early hours or those zoned out 5 am sessions, look no further. Peace Symphonies comes through with the goods on the various artists' release which Madraas opens in a seductively snoozy fashion on 'Madraas', which has ethereal pad work and angelic vocals. Molac's 'The Lisp' pairs more cuddly drum loops with heavenly chords and Cocho's 'Speaking Eyes' is more meditative deep house deliciousness. DSF's 'Agape' closes with tumbling melodies that fall like rain directly from heaven. A sensitive house EP if ever we heard one.
