Rafa Santos - We Still Dance

Rafa Santos is here to blow away the winter blues with a seriously sunny dose of deep house finery on his own label Mate. 'High Voltage' deals in melancholic pads and strings with a classic TR727-esque beat, all Latin drum machine percussion pattering out the groove underneath the heavy-hearted soul. 'My Life Is A Bassline' is a slightly chirpier jam, but the mood is still resolutely deep and reflective like you would expect from Santos. 'Back To The Dancefloor' shakes things up with a more decidedly uptempo workout that looks optimistically ahead to a better time for dance music, and then 'Just One Way' completes the set with another supremely classy deep house workout.
