Alfredo Calderini & Juan Sandoval aka Deep Soul Duo return to Mistique Music this week for their debut LP entitled 'Ocean Of Joy'. The Argentinean duo made a huge impact on the progressive scene with their debut release in May of 2011. "Transfiguration' came courtesy of Michael Levan and Stiven Rivic's Mistique Music and Deep Soul Duo haven't looked back since. They've enjoyed an amazing year on Mistique which saw them release a follow single (Fellowship) and several floor burning remixes. One of those remixes (for CJ Art's 'Dyssomnia') was played by Markus Schulz on his Global DJ Broadcast show and was then licensed to Armada for release on their March Top 20 compilation. Deep Soul Duo's new Ocean Of Joy LP only sees them shining even brighter and with radio play already in from Markus Schulz it looks poised to be their biggest release yet.

 The album gets underway with two electronica tracks entitled 'Buddha' and 'Dharma'. The former begins with a wispy, distant atmospheric presence that has you immediately enthralled for what is to come next. Sets of broken beats and airy pads fill the air along with a distinct emotion of hope. The subtleties here are absolutely gorgeous, so emotional and perfectly restrained; a great start to the album. 'Dharma' follows with a similar vibe but with a slightly more pronounced melodic feel with sections of softly textured keys and sweeping atmospheric gates that fill the breakdown. Interesting beat patterns and a wealth of flawless transitions make the nine or so minutes go by extremely fast. Definitely a track to get lost in and a big DJs 'one for the plane' for sure! The album then shifts to more club oriented material for the next two tracks 'Distant Forces' and 'Genesis'. Both cuts come with a driving and energetic progressive trance groove that is liquid smooth and laced with wicked synth stabs. The bass line on 'Distant Forces' is stellar with an abundance undulating rolls and head bobbing chord changes. This is progressive trance done right with subtle slow builds and a huge atmospheric presence. Markus Schulz thinks so too as he's already featured 'Distant Forces' on his Global DJ Broadcast Radio Show! The album then shifts once again with the next piece entitled 'Krishna' which is a slower tempoed composition that comes with big fat beats and a lushly textured, washed out atmospheric vibe particularly during the breakdown which is absolutely spectacular. Sections of irresistibly gentle keys that cascade amidst a wispy wasteland of sweeps and a bass heavy rumbling underbelly. The title track 'Ocean Of Joy' is next and it's certainly a contender for the biggest track on the album. Huge drive and two layers of nasty bass lines set the track off early. Simple piano sequences add a relatively deadly hook that just adds to the forceful drive of the track. Monster peak time energy but with the restrained atmospheric vibe are what makes Deep Soul Duo so unique and they've nailed it on 'Ocean Of Joy'. 'Samadhi' once again shows another huge shift as it's a beat less ambient composition that would certainly be right at home on a Sci-Fi movie score. The collection then sets itself up for a big finish with the remaining three compositions being club tracks. The first 'Sublime' follows right where 'Ocean Of Joy' left off. After a DJ friendly intro a short drop introduces another growling bass line that's accented by razor sharp stabs, driving drums and the trademark soaring atmospheres. The real moment comes with the chord changes that appear right before the main breakdown, it's supremely epic and the wobbly bass line during the drop melded with the ethereal melodies is brilliant as well. One of the best on the album for sure! The second last track 'Suryadev' is actually one of the slower club pieces on the album. It's presents a much deeper vibe and you get the sense that the album is winding down. The closer though entitled 'The Gathering' is a large rumbling piece with big offset stabs and a wonderful lead hook that sounds killer with the choppy percussion. This will most certainly go down as one of the best albums this year. From the day it was uploaded to Release Promo the Hype on it has been incredible as it's appeared in countless charts and DJ sets already and with full radio support from Markus Schulz expect the buzz to just grow and grow now that's officially out! Congrats to Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic's Mistique Music and Deep Soul Duo for such an outstanding collection of music! Release Promo Hype Chart Top 25
