Vol. 5

As something of a protege of Ron Trent, Trinidadian Deep has constantly excelled in infusing a traditional deep house sound with a broader palette that draws on African and Latin rhythms while ever focused on a warm, soulful end result. He's the latest artist to sign up to Hands Off, coming on direct and unfussy with this soothing balm of a two tracker. "Want You" is classic Trini, stirring up hazy lead lines over tumbling percussion for an endlessly flowing masterclass in deep house. "Father" meanwhile takes a brighter approach with its playful piano out front and sharper drum palette.
