Owen Jay Mechior Sultana – WGD12006

Placid aka Paul Wise is the chief in command at ‘We’re Going Deep’ – an online community and record label, born out of a lifelong affair with the many shades of electronic rhythm and obsession for collecting records since 1988. For the latest solo series edition, Paul reaches out across the Mediterranean straights to the island nation of Malta to the formidable Owen Jay & Melchior Sultana – two of Europe’s finest purveyors of heads-down House and sultry deep grooves. Having both worked on solo projects and together for well over a decade now, their joint projects have graced the likes of Underground Quality, Moods & Grooves, Deep Explorer alongside their own imprint Batti Batti: a perfect match. Laying down 4 cuts of impeccable late night fuel, the EP opens with A1 ‘Going Deep’ a subtle yet expansive 4/4 mover that holds the floor with a trance inducing lead and dubby effects. Sweeping in with sun kissed melodics and spacious percussion – A2 ‘Dub Setting’ is an ode to the Maltese morning haze if there ever was one.
