Dee Montero returns to Anjunadeep with his latest EP, ‘Headspace’. The EP’s title track sees the Belfast-born, Ibiza-based producer thread classic house piano stabs and hard-hitting percussion under Meliha’s alluring topline. The Kuala Lumpurn singer’s powerful vocals are then further accentuated in the dreamy ‘beatless' mix of ‘Headspace’. Heavy on the arpeggios and piano leads, the EP’s third track is the high-energy club-filler ‘Rise’, followed by closing piece ‘Rapido’ - an animalistic arrangement of vocal chops and gated synth lines.

Summary
I'm waiting always with excitement Dee Montero releases on Anjunadeep and he has manage once again to impress me with his Headspace EP. The title track is the usual deep dream melodic house production that is warm cinematic hypnotic moody and tripping out highlighted from the incredible vocals that sound abstract and out of this space and beyond. The beatless mix is perfect chill out material that you can enjoy in the living room by the fire place and some nice chestnuts and good red wine. Rise as the title implies is a very upfront tribalish pumping number with truly eccentric sound. It's positive statement with electro pop 80's style synths and uplifting piano chords to encourage the listeners to rise above their worries and reach their goals. Rapido is hypnotic and bouncy with some very strong synths, chopped vocal samples and anthemic atmosphere perfect to carry the listener to the next level. Jaw-dropping material for sure. #PureGold Love IT.
