immersif: indian ocean drive
Francisco Espregueira
GLBDOM has been delivering some of the highest-karat gold in deep house rotations. Their latest release introduces us to the french producer Immersif and his first EP in the russian imprint. Indian Ocean Drive is a four-tracker of warm, sunlit bumpin' house groovers for the summer ahead. It is also a sophisticated affair… classy in its keys, bouncy in its basslines, kicking deep into our souls.
Opening up with "Indian Ocean Drive", Immersif sets the tone for the eponymous EP. The blend of classic house drums with warm basslines and g-funk inspired organs, makes it a perfect track to hit the open road with the sun setting on our side. "Rendez-vous au Skatepark" melts hip hop and funk samples taken from Immersif's old records collection, providing nostalgic moment to remind us of the good old days. "Sex, Rhodes & Lockdown" keeps that nostalgic feeling with a nice melancholic piano melody driving us, before
"Straight Outta Quinson" closes the EP in a sunny register. Combination of bongos and congas, jazzy chords and a soulful vocal samples. Indian Ocean Drive is a strong EP from Immersif. One that we will vibe with in the summer months to come. Available on Bandcamp, courtesy of GLBDOM.
