Single Review of Lars Behrenroth: “Deep Ocean” (Deeper Shades Recordings)

Every so often, so house music comes across my desk that’s exceptionally cool. Something that can be appreciated beyond just core house music fandom because it has elements than can appeal to more traditional music fans, as well. Lars Behrenroth‘s “Deep Ocean” is a song like that. It’s something you might hear at a mainstream dance club because of its insanely danceable rhythm. In fact, it reminds me a little of the dance music I used to hear when I’d visit my friends in New York in the early ’90s. The New York part of that statement is probably less important, since those visits were the only times I’d go to this particular type of club. The early ’90s bit, though, may be more relevant, though “Deep Ocean” has a more modern house music veneer.

Again, I don’t often review house music, but this has some familiar elements and musical nuances that help it appeal to a broader crowd – including me, for example – so you don’t need to be a hardcore fan of the genre to enjoy the song; click through and check it out.
