As a DJ, Berlin’s Sebo K has a reputation for mixing it up: while grounded in contemporary house and techno, he injects his sets with forgotten gems and stone classics, ever mindful of the fact that dance music is a continuum, not a top-10 list. He brings that same spirit to his productions, which rank as some of the deepest in Mobilee’s catalog. That formerly “minimal” dancefloors have opened up to deeper, sultrier strains of house is a result, in part, to his 2006 cut “Moved featuring Prosumer,” a cut that helped kick off the current return to a classic, Chicago-influenced aesthetic. Following up on December’s one-sided single “Far Out,” Sebo K returns with “Diva,” another track so deep that it doesn’t need a B-side. Don’t let the title scare you: there are no wailing divas here, no garish melodies. Just a brief vocal sample looped throughout the mix—a highvoltage call-and-response that sends sparks flying at just the right moments. As for the production, control is the watchword: unadorned drum machines do a lithe, high-stepping forward march while cool, syncopated chords bounce in place. From its copious empty space to its irresistible groove, it feels a lot like some B-side dub mix from a long-lost Chicago classic.The vibe hangs deliciously between tension and release, moving and soothing in equal measure. This one’s for going the distance. Accompanying “Diva” is a digital-only package of “Far Out” remixes from Agnés, Joris Voorn and DJ Sneak, who closes the Chicago-roots circle!
