Now making his Proton Music debut, the conceptual ‘Orchid’ EP opens with the stunning title track. Through a trademark rolling groove and heavy beat, smooth melodic patterns filter into sonic range before weaving a magical pattern at the breakdown. Intwining sonic textures and delicate harmonies, these then evolve into a subtly cadenced motif in the second half that gradually opens up into a delicately shimmering crescendo.
‘Passionflower’ makes its presence felt with a club-friendly rhythmic backdrop that paves the way for a huge sub-bass to add to the groove. Trademark muted chords syncopate effortlessly with the percussion as haunting pads and atmospheric effects drift across the breakdown. Building throughout, the tracks waxes and wanes in dynamic fashion to create an emotive work.
The final piece of the musical triptych sees, ‘Sunflower’ offering a chunky rhythm and ticking hi-hat accompaniment. With its delicate organic house vibe, a searing synth line melds with counterpoint motif and gently pulsating pads that come to the fore at the beatless breakdown. Full of filmic quality through its woven sonic textures and immaculately production technique, the result is a production of rare quality and craftsmanship.
With stunning new music blossoming on Proton Music Music, Paul Deep is in full bloom with ‘Orchid’.
