Master H & Alice Orpheus

Out of this life take 1 EP

If you are a purveyor of pure house music, then Master-H's Komplex De Deep imprint is one that should always be checked. From the deepest of the deep to the most euphoric and melodic. Smokey jazzy touches to throbbing basement bass and beats, we have seen it all and we are only on release number eight. Chymera, Francois Dubois, Greg Oreck, Matthias Vogt and Aubrey have already graced releases, but today its the turn of label head Master-H to lead the way...

Teaming up once again with the silky toned Alice Orpheus, Master-H presents 'Out Of This Life Take 1'. Alice is a classically trained, award winning violinist and Professor of Jazz Composition. His career has seen him travel the world, from his studies in France and the US, to his teaching in New Zealand. Now signed to Komplex De Deep, he has embarked on a production spree alongside Master-H. Their first release, 'My Lady' was an instant hit with the DJ's and Music Press, and introduced us to the diamond duo in the finest of fashions.

'Out Of This Life Take 1', is a sublime piece of mastery. From the opening tambourine strikes we are immediately introduced to the velvet tones of the Rhodes. Muted horns and cowbell play their part in creating a wonderful atmosphere. As the vocal creeps in accompanied on every note by violins, our thoughts are confirmed. This is a truly special piece of music.

Having also provided us with delightful dub, Master-H present's a second original composition in, 'Talking House'. Aimed directly at the dancefloor, this beauty sees Alice really working those vocal chords. Deep throbbing keys stab away as the shiny ride sparkles alongside. The keys grow in intensity as an oldskool synth sweeps us off our feet and carries us away. Superb!

Yet another stunning release from Master-H and Alice Orpheus, and Komplex De Deep. We can't wait to see what they bring us next!!

Deejay Magazine Spain - El sello de Master-H nos regala otra gran jugada bajo mi criterio. Ya en la release octava, el galés nos sigue mostrando un sello con un amplio espectro sonoro, desde el techno emocional de Chymera al deep house azucarado de François Dubois, pero en sus proyectos con la vocalista Alice Orpheus es donde pone toda la carne en el asador. En “My Lady” ya dio muestras de clase jazzy, y en esta release nos ofrece otra obra maestra. Está claro que el corte principal, con esos rhodes aterciopelados, el cencerro y esa loca batalla entre el vioíln y el vocal no va a funcionar en el 99% de las pistas de baile, pero eso no es motivo para dejarlo escapar. “Talking House” si que funcionará; deep house en su máxima expresión, con un riff de piano que crece en intensidad a través del sublime vocal de Alice y esa bassline que nos lleva a Chicago. Impresionante.

goaclub.es : Komplex de Deep llega a su octava referencia con este nuevo maxi de Master H -con la colaboración del violinista Alice Orpheus-, una auténtica delicia que, sí, se podría calificar como música house, pero que traspasa todas las fronteras musicales gracias a su inteligente uso del órgano Rhodes, el imprescindible cencerro -por lo menos para servidor, fan total de tan percusivo instrumento- y el violín. Música con mayúsculas. En la otra cara, “Talking House” nos lleva directamente a las pistas de baile más deephouseras. Muy bien.

Debug (Germany) – Für mich mit jedem Release wieder das Houselabel des Jahres. ”Out Of This Life“ hat soviel Soul in der Melodie und ist dabei so einfach, klingelt in den Glöckchen statt Hihats, und bewegt sich auf abenteuerliche Weise mitten in die 70er hinein, unterfüttert von afrikanischen Sequenzen der besonderen Art. Und das übersoulige Monster ”Talking House“ mit den Vocals, die fast nur noch Geschrei sind, ist einfach völlig unglaublich. Massiv.
