After the success of his Do It Right EP, Mr. Bootsauce returns to Viva Recordings for the stellar new cut “Open Senses.” Known for top tracks on labels like Salted, Large, and Good For You Records, Mr. Bootsauce honed his craft at Los Angeles’ weekly UNITY party. His DJ’ing motivated his productions, developing a deep, thumping sound that transmitted musical emotion on the dancefloor.
“Open Senses” is a swirling slice of deep house, featuring a tight rhythm track propelling warm, filtered chords and a ‘relaxing’ repeated vocal drop. Wooshes and booms accentuate the smooth vibe, fitting the sound right in the Viva pocket. Things get deeper still with the Deep Mix, adding an infectious bass run and sparse breakdown moments. This one will prove that it’s possible to dream hard while the feet are grooving.
On 1980 Recordings, “4/4 #40” nails the ominous element of techno & deep house, delivering dance songs with an ominous edge. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2019
