    Into Your Soul

    Marvin Sykes

    Beatport New Releases

    Some house records are built for the moment when the room properly lets go. Marvin Sykes' Into Your Soul is one of them. Marvin has been making records for over twenty years, with releases across labels including WH0 Plays and Ultramoda. He knows how to build a groove that works on a real dancefloor, and that was clear from the first version of this track. The drums hit hard. The stabs had bite. The piano drop had energy without falling into obvious 90s pastiche. Everything was there for a proper peak-time house record. What it needed was a vocal hook strong enough to match the groove. Close your eyes. Lose control. Let the rhythm into your soul. That line captures exactly where this record lives. Heads down, hands up, bodies locked into the beat. Musically, Into Your Soul sits in the same kind of high-pressure house space as the records Kevin McKay plays peak time at Roast in London: driving, modern, hooky and built for serious room movement. For DJs into the CASSIMM on Rekids, Tiger Stripes and Club De Combat lane, this should make sense straight away. A thumping, peak-time house record with vocal lift, piano pressure and full dancefloor release. Genre: House Key use: Peak-time house sets, high-energy club moments, vocal house floors
