Product Description
In the 11 years since he made his debut on a split 12″ of techno productions, Melchior Sultana has developed into a fine producer of smoky, evocative deep house. Here, he more than proves that point, returning to Jus-Ed’s Underground Quality imprint with his fourth solo full length. Seemingly inspired by his Maltese roots, Mediterran is chock full of the kind of warm, mature, impeccably produced deep house that sounds like it was designed to soundtrack dusky St Julian’s sunsets and baking hot afternoons amidst the ancient walls of Valetta. There are nods towards the bluesy jazz-house of St Germain (see “One Take”), classic Balearic deep house (“Paradise”) and the emotion-rich grooves of Jus-Ed (“Lead The Way”), with the overall feel being lazy, relaxed and groovy.
