Deep In Your Soul

When the first lockdown hit, Ben Westbeech ended up stranded in Walthamstow aler months spent driling through India and Thailand, unable to make it back to Ibiza. Armed with liMle more than an SM58, a Korg Minilogue and a soundcard, he pieced together a temporary setup in a friend's flat and got back into the habit of writng music in splendid isolation. Somewhere in the middle of all that, Deetron sent over a sketch that instantly hit a nerve. Ben wrote and recorded the vocal for Deep In Your Soul in one sitting, then the track quietly sat and evolved over the next couple of years until Sam resurfaced with the finished version. A final vocal session in Ibiza sealed it properly. What emerged is one of those records that feels lived-in rather than laboured over: warm, soulful and naturally unfolding across different places, phases and points in time. Another chapter in the long-running musical conversaton between Deetron and Ben Westbeech.
