With his debut on Mule Musiq, Saint Petersburg-born and Dubai-based producer Kito Jempere delivers a four-track statement that feels like a love letter to the many shades of deep house. Known for his genre-blurring sensibility, Jempere approaches this release with precision, warmth, and a keen ear for emotional nuance.
The opener immediately sets a bold tone: an anthemic dancefloor number built on springy breakbeat house foundations, animated by spoken-word snippets and a bright, uplifting piano line that’s impossible to resist. It’s a track designed to lift spirits and ignite movement, capturing the joyful abandon of a packed, smiling crowd.
Next comes “Infinite Azure”, a luxurious deep house excursion with a jazzy touch. Its rolling groove and fluid chords conjure the late-night elegance of late-’90s Guidance classics—tracks that seemed to float effortlessly between soulful intimacy and club-ready energy.
The third cut, “Mid 0000s”, takes a more abstract route. Minimal yet richly detailed, it nods toward Isolée’s off-kilter, textural approach, where every sound feels deliberately placed yet organic. It’s the sort of track that works just as well in a deep, exploratory DJ set as it does in a solitary headphone session.
The closing moment, “Teaser”, is pure, bittersweet beauty. A tender piano melody intertwines with understated vocals, evoking the quiet poignancy of the night’s final song. It’s a slow fade from the dancefloor into memory, leaving an emotional afterglow long after the needle lifts.
By balancing club dynamics with introspective storytelling, Kito Jempere crafts a debut Mule Musiq release that’s as thoughtful as it is danceable. It’s a work that rewards both the dancer and the listener—proof that deep house, in the right hands, still has the power to surprise, seduce, and move.
