Deep Therapy is a techno label based in Canada, and its new release features remixes from The YellowHeads and Sam WOLFE alongside original tracks by Karim Alkhayat.
Karim Alkhayat is a Syrian artist who along with previous releases on Deep Therapy, has also featured on the likes of Codex, Reload, Orange Recordings and Say What? Currently based in Dubai, he is a regular performer at many of the country’s top clubs and festivals.
The YellowHeads had previously worked with Karim Alkhayat when they signed him to their label Reload, but this time, the duo of Spanish techno titans are remixing his music. Regularly located inside Beatport’s Top 10 techno tracks, the guys have released music on imprints including Kraftek, Filth on Acid, We Are The Brave, Octopus and Suara.
American artist Sam WOLFE is fresh off a recent release on UMEK’s 1605 and has also featured on other labels ranging from Tronic to Senso Sounds. In the past he has collaborated with the The YellowHeads, but this time he is working as a solo producer.
Blending thundering percussion with acid stabs and compelling vocals this fast and furious release has an explosive energy tailor made for the dance floor.
“The Last Trip” opens the release with its fluttering synths, rumbling bassline and pounding kick drum. Leading towards an epic breakdown it builds dramatic tension before reaching a crescendo when the percussion slams back in.
Track two is The YellowHeads remix of The Last Trip, which strips back the track to its core elements to focus on the kick drum and dark atmospherics. Building suspense, this sinister version unleashes a ferocious barrage that’s set to light up the dance floor with frenzied excitement.
“System Error” is second of the originals, and its swirling, acid synths combine with stabbing synths and crunching claps, while the spiralling lead raises the roof. Something of a tried and tested sound, it’s a nice example of something that done well never fails to blow the roof of a nightclub.
Sam WOLFE closes out the release with his remix of System Error, which adds a twisted euphoria to the original with a compelling synth line that adds uplifting atmosphere to the high velocity of the original. It also has a magnificent acid section after the main breakdown, which lifts the momentum up another gear.
Release date: October 22nd, 2021.
