After ending their four year hiatus from the label with the fantastic "Beat Organ EP" earlier this summer, 16 Bit Lolitas aka Ariaan Olieroock and Peter Kriek are back with another huge three track EP.
Title track "Deep In My Soul", was an instant office favourite, and picked up it's first play live on BBC Radio 1 from none other than Pete Tong during his Essential Mix with Sasha at Privilege in Ibiza. Fusing their trademark melodic grooves with an infectious vocal loop, Ariaan and Peter deliver a real anthem - one as equally potent poolside as it is in the main room, as Tong and Sasha can testify.
Equally memorable second track "Premium Emo" takes a more leftfield approach, built around gliding guitars and soaring vocals over a breakbeat groove. First heard in their ABGT guest mix earlier this year, "Premium Emo" is yet another 16BL classic.
"Higher State" rounds off the EP in style, showcasing the deeper end of Ariaan and Peter's musical spectrum. Soulful, jazzy melodies make way for rolling low end grooves and energetic synths in an another complex gem.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Anjunadeep is about to release the 6th installment of its official compilation mixed by James Grant and Jody Wisternoff. Many exclusives will be included in this must have compilation and one of them is revealed as part of the new EP by 16 Bit Lolitas. Deep In My Soul is part of the top EP under the same name and includes Premium Emo and Higher State. First of all Deep In My Soul is an amazing hybrid of melancholic moody deep house with progressive house vibes so actually the most accurate description for it would be deep dark progressive house. It lasts for 8 minutes and carry away the listener for an emotional hypnotic journey with deep funky basslines, bubbly tribalish grooves, cool vocal sample that repeats "Deeeeep In My Soul Yeah" while on top cinematic strings and emotional melancholic chords are added to support the listener to feel this great track deep in his/her soul with analogue underground feel that definitely wins the ear, mind and heart straight away. Higher State is an incredible beach house / balearic house anthem with laid back / lazy relaxing groove, deep funky basslines, jazzy influences, colourful sun kissed melodies, fantastic synths and heavenly distorted vocal sample. If you search a selection that can stand out in your Cafe Del Mar style dj set this top production will help you to reach that higher state of mind as it manages quite easily to minimise negativity, maximise positive thoughts and also that human need to travel, escape and discover new sonic experiences. Premium Emo starts with cool indie rock style intro with great rock guitar riffs and them moves on the main section with techy chunky groove and the fantastic guitar riffs on top that build nicely something truly inspirational, spiritual and truly emotional with stunning breadown with heavenly vocals and rock guitar riffs delivering an unforgettable moment that will calm your senses and uplift your spirit to a higher level. It's one of those tracks that you can easily imagine being used in a film soundtrack! #PureQuality #PureClass #PureGold Love iT
