Dj Aakmael - Aakmaeledits 02 [Unknown]

Format: 12".
CAT: AAKMAELEDITS02

Silky jazz vocals elegantly envelop the grooves of DJ Aakmael, a veteran deep house exponent from Richmond, Virginia, across four magnificent re-edits.

‘Crazy’ builds on a powerful Theo Parrish-style kick drum, accompanied by dramatic strings and frantic snare hits. ‘Luva’ takes a more relaxed path, with delicate guitar riffs floating over the beat, while ‘Strange Fruit’ is driven by a crispy, irresistible rhythmic base and discreet keyboard chords, with vocals resonating in an enveloping, almost ghostly way.

The closing track is ‘I Didn’t Know,’ a luminous piece that combines an elegant house groove with refined jazz nuances. A perfect combination that seems to have been conceived very close to paradise.
