Dembora’s Notes EP: A Deep House Gem from the UK That Still Slaps (Kinda)
Alright, let’s talk about Dembora’s Notes EP. Released in 2010 under Music Taste Records, this little slice of electronic goodness hails straight from the UK. It’s deep house at its core—smooth, sultry, and just a touch mysterious. If you’re into beats that feel like they were born in a dimly lit club but also wouldn’t mind chilling on your couch with them, this one’s for you.
Now, I’ll be honest: there are only two tracks here—“Piano Bar” and “Sunny Hole”—but man, do they pack a punch. Let me break it down for ya.
Track 1: "Piano Bar"
Okay, so imagine walking into an old-school jazz lounge where everyone's wearing fedoras, except instead of saxophones, there’s a guy hammering away on a synth piano like his life depends on it. That’s “Piano Bar.” The melody is simple yet hypnotic, looping around your brain like gum stuck to your shoe—you can’t shake it off, and honestly? You don’t want to. There’s something oddly comforting about how the keys glide over the bassline, creating this warm, fuzzy vibe. Like hot cocoa for your ears, if hot cocoa had a pulse and knew how to dance.
Track 2: "Sunny Hole"
This track hits different. At first listen, you might think, Oh cool, another chill beat. But then BAM—it sneaks up on you with these lush pads and groovy undertones that make you wanna grab someone (or yourself) and sway awkwardly in the middle of your living room. It’s got this laid-back energy that feels like lazy Sunday mornings when you’ve got nowhere to be. Or maybe it reminds you of those weird dreams where you’re floating through clouds made of marshmallows. Either way, it sticks with you.

So yeah, Notes EP isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel or anything. It’s short, sweet, and does exactly what good deep house should—it makes you feel things without hitting you over the head with complexity. Plus, it came out over a decade ago, which means it’s basically vintage now. Retro points!
But here’s the kicker: listening to this EP today feels kinda like finding an old mixtape in your car’s glove compartment. Sure, it’s not gonna blow modern EDM fans away, but there’s charm in its simplicity. And hey, isn’t that what music’s all about? Making moments stick—even if they come with minor errors and a dash of nostalgia?
Final thought: If Dembora ever drops a sequel, I hope they call it More Notes EP. Because who doesn’t love more notes?
