soulkeeper - deeper

"deeper" was a track i heard through a ministry of sound mix cd and i have been loving it ever since. it's the result of one the many collaborations between peter hayo, walter merzinger & arno kammermeier but this time also with casey keth. should be noted that the names merzinger & kammermeier is more recognized nowadays as booka shade.

this track sort of sits between genres and when i first heard it i didn't know what to describe it. but i think in this day and age it's easily called progressive house but back then i was hesitant to call it that. progressive house was still much rooted in house but this had a more electronic feel and had an slight eighties new wave influence.

it starts of with some affected drum sounds that stands as it's foundation and then slowly a buzzing synth fades in and sets the tone for the track. the groove is firmly set as it brings the beat and bassline when the synth goes up and down in resonance as it's being phased. the vocal comes in two minutes into the track and it tries to be emotional and dreary but it really sounds like billy idol trying to do soul or gospel.

the lyrical topic at hand is stupid and while i've had problems with fitting this in sets i really like this tune. the original club mix is the version i would listen to on a regular basis but i'm more likely to play the trancesetters remix as it fits better in my sets. the original is to epic for the other progressive house records it really doesn't work with the trance records i play. something does tell me that it would work with modern epic trance but as i don't play that, i will never know how well it fits.
