DESCRIPTION:
Vocal Deep House & Soulful Vocal House 4 Tracker.
When great music minds get together, good things happen and this latest Freerange outing is testament to that. Bridging the gap between Toronto and Detroit, the Detoronto EP is the result of Mark Kufner aka Toronto Hustle’s vision of deep, underground house music and Sean Roman’s production prowess. With decades of experience promoting nights, DJing and running his own brilliant vinyl-only label Selections, Mark teamed up with production partner and fellow Toronto DJ, Sean Roman. Sean has worked with a diverse selection of imprints such as Nervous Records, Local Talk, Strictly Rhythm, as well as his own imprint Lately Bass.
On the vocals, Detroit’s ubiquitous Javonntte rounds out the artists for this heavyweight EP. Classic deep, raw, late night house sounds are the order of the day here. Deep In This is just the kind of fat, swinging groove to warm up the dance floor with. Simple yet robust, the square wave bassline brings the right amount of attitude whilst Javonntte’s vocal’s draw you into his world.
Next up, the duo give us their own Light Night Dub of Deep In This which strips out the harmonic elements, putting all the focus on the drums, bass and vocals. This makes for the perfect club tool, sounding massive on a nice system and guaranteed to get the floor locked into its unrelenting groove.
Flip over for a brilliant remix of Fall In Love by another legend of the Toronto house scene - Demuir. This guy is a production powerhouse whose soulful, funky, jacking house sound has seen him releasing on such diverse labels as Yoruba, Classic, Heist, Hot Creations, Robsoul and Desolat. Here he brings his trademark, loose and jazzy drums and funky AF Moog bassline which is accompanied by a beautiful, filtering piano loop.
Closing out this brilliant EP we have Fall In Love, another late night basement jam featuring the vocals of Javonntte. Classic rhodes stabs add a rolling energy to the chunky drum groove making this one of those classic B2 tracks destined to become a secret weapon in your sets.

sean roman is another as-of-yet undiscovered diamond in the canadian rough. he is making the best of the long, blizzard filled days and turning his cabin fever into soul infused mood tracks reminiscent of lee curtis and soul clap.
it's so refreshing when people forego the trend of producing in the vein of crunchy, electro blog house that might accrue 15 seconds of instantly gratifying fame and dig a bit deeper in musical influences of the past, constructing a true piece of art with enough substance to sink your teeth into like a medium rare filet mignon. so sit back, close your eyes and prepare to be consumed. this won't be the last we hear of him!
sean roman has got a few other buns in the oven, such as working on a group house music project called 'white lions' (of which he promised he would send over soon) as well as keeping up the solo project under his own name. more! please! now!
