Up first we have the pacey, rhythmic deep house grooves of Water On Mars which intros with a tight drum arrangement that dishes out that emphatic rhythm. Smooth, deep basses settle in on the low end providing a solid groove to get down to. Soft, airy pads fill out the background as the drums really start to become infectious. Supremely mesmerizing from start to finish, this track is an absolute must have for your crate.

Fragmentation delivers a rich and powerful deep house cut thanks to punchy kick drums and a very strong plucky bassline. Rhythmic percussions get the feet tapping as wistful pads swirl around overhead. The bass really ties the track together beautifully despite the fragmented persona, it carries a lushness that pulls the rest of the sounds into its core resulting in a super tight groove. A wonderfully hypnotic slice for the late-night session.

Velvet rounds up this latest Piston release with a track that really lives up to its name. The intro boasts an inviting drum section with an up-tempo rhythm and distinct, snappy percussions. Dark elements including eerie FX and soft, chilling pads become involved bringing a hypnotic trait to the sound as a bubbling bassline lurks subtly on the low end. A robust sound that will definitely grab attention in the darker rooms, not to be missed.
