1. Heavenlies (Original Mix)
2. Simplicity (Original Mix)
3. Simplicity (Jay Tripwire Remix)

Headset Recordings presents two deep and techy slow-groovers from Vex Vexino, a young South African producer. Simplicity also includes a more uptempo remix from the innovative and prolific Jay Tripwire.

Heavenlies is a melancholic search for self. It is simple in structure but complex in feeling. Unusual for Deep House, Heavenlies offers paradoxes in sound reminiscent of Eno. The drums are solid. Deep 808 sounds are countered by acoustic hand percussion turning the rhythm upward to polyrhythm. An abstraction of a Hammond modulates outward as a grounding element breaks open ethereal voices that sing of both jubilation and lament.

Simplicity, the title track, opens with a kick and a shaker that are startling in purity. The sound of each drum swells then collapses into implosion. A shamanic Giorgio Moroder bassline searches sub frequencies and magnetically cycles the track deeper into the unknown. Simplicity presents questions about what is real and what is imagined.

The Jay Tripwire Remix extracts the atmosphere of Simplicity's shamanic feel and fills a warehouse with it. Jay's mix is a love letter to warehouse parties and their altered states of reality. It captures the moment of the night when the body heat peaks and the walls begin to move. It is the sound and feel of a cathartic release felt in a flash.
