#38 Feat. Staff Picks in Deep House

DJ and producer Agrabah is a sound researcher who draws from the classics of Dance Music, crafting arrangements that connect emotional memories across generations. With releases on labels like the Australian Clipp.art, the British &Friends, and Gop Tun Records, Agrabah now joins the Heels of Love catalog with her new EP Chokehold, featuring two tracks that embody her identity as a producer and her passion for House Music. Rooted in the theme of female empowerment, Chokehold features vocals by Brazilian model and singer Pat Selbach, highlighting womens authority over their own bodies while making space for sensuality. Diving into the aesthetics of Deep House with hints of British house, Agrabah blends analog elements with digital synths, creating a meeting point between old-school and contemporary sounds. In Lilly, sensitivity, lightness, and glimpses of childhood emerge through the arrangement and the tracks expansive grooves. A Garage House-inspired drumbeat drives the chemistry between lead synths-featuring tones from the classic Roland PROMARS-and sampled anime vocal cuts, channeling the energy of the dance floor.
