“Deliver Me”, a favorite from Motorcitysoul’s Technique, gets the house single treatment on this remixed release from Simple. Kruse & Amp and Prosumer present us two heavy house tracks that are sure to shake rooms and rumps everywhere. 

Kruse & Amp’s take is pure old school house. The kick is a satisfying four on the floor that bounces against open hi hats on the upbeat. Subtle shifts in volume of crash cymbals, drum machine bongos and claps dictate the song structure as various layers of keyboard and samples are filtered in and out. This duo takes the original vocals  and twist them into tons of micro samples that glitch and screw in and out of the beat. As these samples expand and contract, the chords of the song build into the break. This large open space makes the song. Finally all of the nuances of the sample-chopping and texture-swelling swath my ears until I can’t wait for the kick to come back. Ah, house music, that OG shit. 

While Kruse & Amp take it back, Prosumer shows us the state of house music today with his minimal exploration of “Deliver Me”.  This mix, as “Reprise” implies, is more related to the original song. Ernesto’s vocals are given new life through meticulous reorganization and layering. Prosumer picks his choice moments and uses a slow groovy drum beat and squishy synth pads to shift through space and the spectrum. At times the vocals drift away through the deepest reverberations, the drums strip down: Prosumer makes the smallest shifts the most enticing. He creates an amazing space to explore in this track, the simplicity of the structure allows the vocals to shape the entire experience and deliver us into house music of today.

This is definitely one to add to the arsenal, and if you grab it in a digital release you will be awarded with both the original track and a special acoustic mix. Enjoy.
