Paul is a fresh new name on the scene this year and with appearances on Mistiquemusic and now Deepsessions it appears Paul's production career is moving in a great direction. Paul's first offering for Deepsessions is entitled '30 Seconds Before The Dawn' and comes with a great selection of mixes from Deepsessions regulars : T-Dallas, Stanisha and Franzis-D. Paul's original begins with an authoritative kick, a big clap and some nice foreboding atmosphere. A mean sounding synth fades in the mix and has an amazing rumbling quality too, really electric and alive sounding. The atmosphere and general tension of the piece is really impactful as it builds towards the breakdown. Here an ominous vocal pad comes sweeping across the mix. It's a spine tingling moment that's accented by a wicked section of break beats that carries the track near it's conclusion before the straight kick drops back to close things out. Certainly one of our favorite originals on Deepsessions this year, awesome stuff from Paul Key.

Greek producer and Deepsessions resident T-Dallas provides the first remix in his always exceptionally cool and refreshing progressive style. Intricate drum work and a big set of bongos draw you attention at the outset before a thunderous bass line drops. A selection of airy synths soon fades over top of mix for a lovely angelic type feel, it quite a trancey element but over the tough, dark groove it works amazingly well. The key changes in the bass line are also really nice and add the heavenly emo vibe of the record perfectly. Another outstanding production form T-Dallas!

One of the most unique and inspiring producers this year has been Stanisha, his fresh sound design and borderless genre style is exactly what very few producers are able to achieve but he continues to impress even at a prolific production pace. He done that in spades here on his '30 Seconds Before The Dawn' remix. A punchy groove that's accented by amazing drums and super unique chord changes in the lead synth set the pace early on and as the piece builds you get to here more of Stanisha's interesting sound design as little intricate parts are added in towards the breakdown which is actually quite late in the record which is a nice change, Here the ominous vocal pads come to life with sweeping energy and the bubbly analogue styled synth modulates wonderful underneath for a great musical interlude before a driving finish. Great stuff again from Stanisha!

Spanish producer Franzis-D closes the package out with a great compliment as he's gone with a very warped sounding tech house interpretation. It's a really unique and challenging sound that Franzis has come up with here, it's funky and great for the dance floor. The beats and beat patterns are quite inventive and should get the full attention of even the most critical dancefloors. It's a relatively stripped down vibe that Franzis has constructed but the overall groove is absolutely killer with all the parts working perfectly together for a great sense of swing and the chord changes on the wobbly bassline give it a greater sense of momentum. Great remix from Franzis and one of our favourites from him this year. Monster package from Deepsessions and Paul Key is certainly a producer to keep an eye on in the future.
