Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the finest deep tech house anthems of the year has landed and is absolutely brilliant. The very talented Wankelmut continues to impress us all with his ability to add his very personal unique sound to whatever his touching. His new personal single My Head is a Jungle features the sweet and melancholic vocals of  the singer Emma Louise. The Extended vocal mix is an emotional tech house ride with great percussion, funky basslines, guitar riffs and the velvet like voice by Emma Louise. Its deep, hypnotic, relaxing and Emma lyrics will make instantly in your mind mental images while you dance or tap your feet along with it. The awesome Gui Boratto is on board and he offer us our ticket to musical paradise or jungle if you like. His bubbly wobbly beats, deep basslines, warm melancholic strings create the perfect soundscape for Emma to sing her intoxicating and rejuvenating vocals. If you feel on a non vocal mood there is a dub remix on it as well. Kasper Bjorke delivers his tribal tech house vision with strong percussion, distorted guitar riffs and the use of some of the vocals lines. Deep dark and very inspired version for eclectic ears. Solee remix is an 8 minutes deep tech house minimal journey with superb percussion, 80's electro pop influences and some parts of the vocals. Tracks like this one is precious jewels made from the highest quality gold. Love iT!
