Review: Knee Deep – I Won’t Let You Down

KNEE DEEP
“I WON’T LET YOU DOWN”

Knee Deep USA

Soulful and thrusting grooves are the trademark of the infamous Knee Deep boys. Basti and Toddie, both in production and DJ-ing, are never too sophisticated or stuffed with loops, yet have managed to combine soul, funk and Latin into a sound that is downright charming. “I Won’t Let You Down” includes three mixes: the classic “KD Club Mix,” which comes with a slamming’ bass line, guitars and classic big drums. On the flip are two mixes: “KD Reprise” and “Bird’s JFunk Dub,” which has long guitar filters, brass and tight arrangements. Out now!
