SASCHA DIVE - BACK 2 LIFE

(Vyslo 12/2021)

Seven years after his last full-length outing hit stores, long-serving Frankfurter Sascha Dive has finally got round to recording and releasing album number three. In keeping with his highly experienced status, Back 2 Life is impeccably produced and polished, with Dive opting for a melodious, atmospheric and hypnotic sound that cannily combines elements of Teutonic tech-house, deep house, All Day I Dream style progressive house and dub-flecked minimalist house. It's a formula that guarantees ear-pleasing thrills throughout, with our picks of a very strong bunch including the hazy outer-space shuffle of 'Let's Get It On', the deliciously tuneful and picturesque title track and the immersive, sub-heavy hypnotism of Whispering Voices'.
