This second installment from HouseHeadz Records not only met my expectations but exceeded them. It’s a compelling collection that brings together the rich roots of house while also showcasing the forward-thinking future of the genre. From the vibrant grooves of ‘Recuerdo’ to the soulful finale of ‘Ever,’ this EP takes you on an immersive journey through house, deep house, and disco.

HouseHeadz00

HouseHeadz00 Series: Black continues to push the boundaries of house music while honoring its origins. With a dynamic fusion of house, deep house, and disco influences, the EP delivers a well-rounded and captivating listening experience. As the brainchild of Simone Mascali (aka Steal Tapes), HouseHeadz00’s passion for crafting intricate, emotionally resonant tracks shines through, making this release a standout. Let’s take a deeper dive into each track and explore the layers of sound and emotion that define HouseHeadz00 Series: Black.

Full track reviews:

1. Recuerdo

The opening track, Recuerdo, immediately sets the tone for the EP with its vibrant grooves and classic house energy. The title, which translates to “memory” in Spanish, feels perfectly suited as the track evokes a sense of nostalgia, paying homage to the golden era of house music. The interplay of uplifting melodies and rhythmic basslines takes you back to the foundational sounds of the genre, while subtle modern touches keep it fresh and exciting. The syncopated claps and hi-hats guide the track forward, creating a dancefloor-ready anthem that is both soulful and energetic. This track is bound to become a favorite for DJs seeking a feel-good opener for their sets.

2. Desire

As we move deeper into the EP, Desire switches gears, bringing a more hypnotic and atmospheric vibe. This track masterfully blends deep house elements with lush, ethereal textures, creating a rich soundscape that envelops the listener. The deep basslines, combined with soft pads and a pulsating rhythm, create a sense of tension and release throughout the track. What really stands out in Desire is how the layered sound design pulls you into a trance-like state, making it ideal for late-night sets or intimate underground venues. The emotional undertone of the track adds depth, as the listener is drawn into its immersive, almost meditative energy.

3. Dream

Dream continues the atmospheric journey with a slightly more experimental edge. The track begins with a soft, ambient introduction that gradually builds into a textured and intricate rhythm. It truly feels like a dreamscape—where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. The melodic structure is both subtle and captivating, allowing the listener to drift into a reflective state. The use of organic sounds and intricate percussion adds a layer of unpredictability that keeps the track feeling fresh and engaging. Dream is a perfect example of how HouseHeadz00 can craft deep house that’s both introspective and forward-thinking.

4. Ever

Closing the EP, Ever brings a more soulful and emotive touch, wrapping up the journey on a heartfelt note. Smooth, velvety vocals glide over a laid-back groove, adding a warm, human element to the production. The harmonies are beautifully arranged, blending seamlessly with the deep basslines and subtle percussive elements. The track’s structure is simple yet effective, allowing the emotional weight of the vocals to take center stage. The soulful energy makes Ever the perfect closer, offering a satisfying conclusion to an EP that explores multiple layers of house music. It’s a track that resonates long after it’s finished playing, leaving the listener wanting more.

One of the key strengths of the HouseHeadz00 Series: Black EP is the attention to detail in its production. Each track feels meticulously crafted, with layers of sound that unfold as you listen. The sound design is top-notch, balancing modern production techniques with a classic house music sensibility. Simone Mascali (HouseHeadz00) has a unique ability to blend the emotional depth of deep house with the rhythmic energy of classic house and disco, resulting in tracks that feel both timeless and innovative.

The EP flows seamlessly from one track to the next, creating a cohesive listening experience that takes you on a journey through different moods and vibes. Whether you’re a house music purist or someone who enjoys a more experimental approach, this EP has something for everyone.
