Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep In Sound continues it’s prominent rise with a seven-track various artists package featuring exclusive material from the likes of Leftwing & Kody, Luca M and Moonwalk, ahead of the label showcase at Miami Music Week 2016.
After a stellar year in which the label hosted several events at clubs & festivals Worldwide and released productions from Booka Shade, Noir, Mendo, Claire Ripley et al, Knee Deep In Sound warms up for a trip stateside with a fine selection of house cuts geared for the sun and sands of Miami.

First up, returning duo Leftwing & Kody’s ‘Keep Moving’ initiates the sampler in style with thunderous kicks and a skipping groove line before Moonwalk’s ‘Reflection’ continues the energy fuelled feel with a powerful lead, infectious vocal loops and driving sweeps. Luca M’s percussive-led ‘Exhibition’ follows with shuffling claps and swinging hats before an eruption of energy spirals the production into a dance floor focused workout.

Arnhouser & Who Else join the action next with their bubbling cut ‘Apology’, built around a central lead hook and subtle raw percussion shots, while OC & Verve’s ‘Symphony’ follows and lays the focus on melodies and a slow blooming progressive feel. ‘Galosha’ takes things right back into the action, with Ukranian duo Outstrip’s choice of natural drums and hypnotic synth flourishes creating a fluid, ever unfolding groove. Closing the release, Mano Andrei’s ‘Willing’ again switches up the aesthetic via echoing vocals and stripped back percussion paired with melodic synth stabs.
