Mixerr Album Reviews #2,168

The OLN ‎– Oporto Deep Cuts EP is some of the best house music from Portugal. The EP has some deep house cuts with a tribal house sound. Reboot 144 and Places Of Pleasure are the highlights as both songs have exotica. Oporto Deep Cuts is perfect enough to be played at classy gatherings. This EP was released as a digital download in 2017 by Kaos Music Group. This EP was released in the formats of .AIFF, .flac, and MP3.

Reboot 144 (Original Mix) uses a processed funky electric synths and kicks. Those processed funky electric synths are not bass notes or bass lines. Treble has been reduced significantly. Reboot 144 (Original Mix) is an example of perfect deep house. The entire song is an electronic soundscape.

Reboot 144 (Acid Error Mix) is an acid house remix of Reboot 144 (Original Mix). A shaker has been added to the instrumentation along with a small set of bongos along with other Afrocentric percussion. This version of Reboot 144 is more Afrocentric. Instruments used in this song were bongos, congas, marimba, tambourine, clavs, and a glockenspiel. OLN made a wonderful decision on adding more instrumentation to the music layers.

The beats on Places Of Pleasure (Original Mix) are driven by kicks, toms, cymbals, and those well known claps. An electric organ is used all over the place on this song. Places Of Pleasure has such a raw organic feel that you hardly ever find in electronic music these days.

I rate this EP 4/5****!

*Kaos Music Group is Kaos Records.
*The EP was originally released in .AIFF and MP3 format.
