It seems like the deep house movement’s got everyone scrambling to establish their street cred – but we’re not complaining, because “Ori Tali Ma” by Sander Van Doorn accomplishes exactly that. A bold departure from the Dutch DJ/producer’s staple hard-kicks-and-hoover-synths style, the track leads with inventive percussive elements and primal vocal samples that remind you of when progressive house was still progressive.
Tastefully understated, the video for the “Ori Tali Ma” (which Spinnin’ released shortly after the track itself) shows live footage from one of Van Doorn’s live performances. World music elements in both the song and its accompanying imagery will undoubtedly make it a staple across the globe this festival season.
Tell us, do you appreciate Sander Van Doorn‘s nod to proper progressive house, or do you prefer the mass appeal of his more characteristic big room house anthems? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
