QT-HIGH, Viel (IT), ARYMÉ 'Falling (ft. Cecilia)' on Deep Root Tribe

'Falling (ft. Cecilia)' is Deep Root Tribe's third release of 2023 on Beatport, matching the label's full count for the year to date. The Extended Mix, filed as Afro House, arrived on the label in June, and Francis Mercier placed it fifth of 15 in his Strangers chart on 4 July, a field where four of the 15 records already carry the Deep Root Tribe name.

It marks QT-HIGH, Viel and ARYMÉ's first release on Deep Root Tribe since 'Ndauya', in the Enoo Napa Remix, a gap of about seven months. The drums run this record, with a moderate count of hits to the beat. The mix sits middling, with some give beneath its peaks, and the highs sit forward, a present, driving read built for a room already warmed up. Fifth of 15, matching the label's own release count for the year, is a fair result for a track that leans on rhythm over texture.
