Deeper by Laurent Rek: A Dive into Sonic Bliss
Alright, let’s get into Deeper, the 2015 album by Laurent Rek that feels like a late-night drive through neon-lit streets. Released under Baci Recordings, this electronic gem blends Deep House, House, and Downtempo vibes so smoothly you’ll forget you’re even listening to genres. It’s not trying too hard to impress—it just does.
The title track, “Deeper,” is where the magic starts. From the first beat, it pulls you in like a gravitational force. The bassline? Insanely groovy. It’s one of those tracks that makes your head nod without permission. What sticks with me is how layered it feels—there’s always something new happening, but it never overwhelms. You can almost picture Laurent tinkering away in his studio, lost in the moment, letting the music breathe on its own. And when that synth line kicks in halfway through? Pure euphoria. This isn’t just background music; it’s an experience.
Then there’s another standout (though I won’t spoil all the surprises). Let’s call it “Mood Setter.” It’s slower, moodier, and kinda dreamlike. The kind of tune that makes you want to sit by a window with a cup of coffee—or maybe something stronger—and just… think. Or not think. Either way works. It’s got this downtempo vibe that wraps around you like a warm blanket. Honestly, I remember it because it made me miss someone I hadn’t thought about in years. Weird, right? That’s what good music does—it digs up feelings you didn’t know were buried.
What strikes me most about Deeper is how unpretentious it feels. It doesn’t scream for attention or try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it lets the beats and melodies do the talking. It’s the kind of album you put on when you need to escape but also when you wanna feel grounded. If that makes sense.
So yeah, Deeper might’ve come out in 2015, but it still hits different today. Maybe it’s the timeless nature of house music or just Laurent Rek knowing exactly what he’s doing. Whatever it is, this album sticks with you. Oh, and here’s a random thought: if Deeper were a person, it’d probably be the chill friend who shows up uninvited but ends up being the life of the party. Just saying.
