Soul Of Hex – Square Bounce EP [DFTD]

Hailing from Tijuana, Sebastien Vorhaus aka Soul Of Hex has a rich, nuanced and grainy style with an authenticity that’s closer in sound to vintage Detroit or New York pastures, despite his Mexican heritage. Recently he seems to have hit upon a rich vein of creative inspiration and clearly loves every second of being in the studio making music. As a result, he is shaping a fresh new direction for the Mexican house scene.

‘Square Bounce EP’ demonstrates some seriously diverse influences, negotiating straight-up 4/4 beats on ‘Square Bounce’, Scandinavian lo-fi-esque synths on ‘Dolph’, 80s organ sequences over a grooving disco beat on ‘UFO Love’ and finally teaming up with Anttares for ‘Realm’, a fizzing dancefloor workout that injects some effervescence into the tail-end of the EP. Like a mini album, Soul Of Hex delivers something for everyone, executed with true finesse. Keep your eyes peeled for this one.
