Collection: [Sacred Medicine]

While many have imitated, no one has ever really come close to crafting the sort of spiritually affective deep house that Ron Trent kicks out with apparent ease. 'Black Magic Woman' is a prime example - an ode to the power of the feminine form with vocals from Harry Dennis, most known for his previous work with Larry Heard. The original is a deep house epic with jazzy chords and organic drums, lashing of bass and spoken word musings from Dennis. The Joaquin edit & Overdubs version is more intense and bright and the Coflo remix is more soft, mellifluous and warm. Epic stuff with great artwork, too.

American house music royalty Ron Trent and Joaquin Joe Claussell’s imprint Sacred Medicine presents “Tsunami’s Muse” by Coflo. His debut on Sacred Medicine brings a rich, immersive sonic journey across three transcendent tracks. The title track, “Tsunami’s Muse,” blends syncopated grooves with lush synth layers, anchored by an emotive piano ballad. “Tsunami’s Groove” deepens the experience, its encapsulating synth lead creating a recurring melodic motif. The EP concludes with “Tsunami’s Muse (backside mix),” a beat-less reprise that expands on the piano’s story, enriched by the earthy resonance of a large wooden kalimba. This release promises a distinct vibe, weaving an atmospheric and evocative narrative from side to side.
