Second Nico Szabo and Aske Izan track in this batch, this time with SAM SHI on vocals, and Aside shows a softer more song-shaped side of the duo. Where Paranoid was all tension, Aside opens up into something warmer and more emotional, with SAM SHI’s vocal floating over that signature Anjunadeep haze. The deep house framework is still here, the patient groove and the careful textures, but the vocal gives it a center of gravity that pulls everything toward the heart instead of the dancefloor. This is the kind of track that works as well on a quiet drive as it does in a club at the right hour. Anjunadeep has always understood that deep house can be a feeling and not just a function, and Aside leans into that fully. Two posts from these two in one week and I’m not mad about it, because the range between the tracks proves they’re more than a one-sound act. Beautiful understated stuff. Give SAM SHI the encore, because that vocal is carrying real weight.
