SUPER FLU deep melodic house set in The Lab
at #Smirnoffhouse
Super Flu in The Lab at the Smirnoffhouse—this is a deep, melodic house immersion from the German masters of the emotive groove, and we're here to get pleasantly lost in layers of synth and subtle rhythm. The vibe is a cozy, after-hours intimacy, where the sound system feels like a warm blanket and every melodic turn is a shared secret. Technically, this is a masterclass in melodic and deep house, locked into a hypnotic 122.4 BPM groove and harmonically centered on the deeply satisfying, minor-major tension of the 12A key. The energy is overwhelmingly low-end focused (0.68 avg), providing a warm, cushioning bass bed over which intricate mid-range melodies (0.26 avg) can dance and intertwine.
Their mixing is patient and textural, allowing tracks to unfold and reveal their detailed productions, with transitions that often use filtered drones or rhythmic elements to blend seamlessly. The harmonic journey is subtle but profound, using slight key shifts within the 12A spectrum to create a narrative of melancholy and hope without ever breaking the spell. The selections are exquisite: Reepah's 'Tomorrow Is My Turn' is a deep, atmospheric opener full of longing. Eli & Fur's 'My Shadow' is a driving, vocal-tinged pearl of melodic house.
Daniel Dubb's 'Empty Pockets' is a lesson in minimalist, bass-heavy suspense. The Eric Kupper club mix of 'What Do I Gotta Do' is a timeless, soulful house injection, while their own re-ding of Klangkarussell's 'Netzwerk' is a lush, epic centerpiece. Even the Sonny Fodera remix of 'Promises' is deployed with taste, fitting the melodic framework perfectly. They start with the contemplative pulse of 'Tomorrow Is My Turn', build to a euphoric, acid-tinged peak with Andy Compton's 'That Acid Track', and drift off on the deep, hypnotic loop of Shosho's 'Fishing People'.
