Soledrifter - Need to Get Down

With multiple releases on Salted Music, Simma Red and Street King to his name, Soledrifter (real name Dimitry Mescheryakov) is well-established within the global house scene. Here the Canada-based Russian returns to Peppermint Jam with a second single for the long-running German imprint (his first appeared back in 2018). ‘Need To Get Down’ offers the perfect balance between rubbery disco and jazz-flecked deep house warmth, with rich chords, dewy-eyed female vocal snippets, jaunty synth riffs and short sax samples enveloping funky bass guitar and organic-sounding drums. ‘That Chance’ is deeper and more immersive in tone, with Mescheryakov tipping a wink to the spacey sounds of late ’90s UK tech-house/deep house fusion.
