A. DEA B. Kraftone The deep house genre is one that has, of late, become mutated and blurred beyond all recognition, so it’s a welcome return to Cadenza for Cesar Merveille, who serves up two new tracks of the real deal, except no imitations! ‘DEA’ is a cut that’s been bubbling for a few months, first premiered on Mirko Loko’s ‘Vagabundos’ mix CD from the start of the Summer season. Cesar’s appreciation for subtlety and the finer details shine through, a shuffling hat groove and the sweet, brassy melody line edging in over a backdrop of subaquatic swashes and effects and a minor vocal stab adding some extra warmth. Pure gold from Merveille, and a cut that reclaims the sophisticated and intelligent edge of the genre.
