Seb Legrand has created a beautifully understated gem of progressive house with 'Deja'Vu'. A sparse and deftly understated track, the drums and keys work in perfect harmony to create a luscious tune coming straight out of left field, catching the casual listener quite off guard.The drums have an air of sophistication to them. They provide an enjoyable surging and pacing, whilst avoiding a 'noise clumping' effect. Legrand then begins chucking a whole host of melodies and synths into this progressive melting pot. The infusion builds up and up until you are clinging on for the drop.
The drop however never really materialises. Instead of an Axwell-esque overt slamming of the piano and kicking of the 'big drum', Legrand gently lowers the track again before beginning a subtle rebuilding, safely landing the listener back down for the final time.
The echo effect on the vocal noise is a pretty touch to a very neat package. Whilst not as in your face as some progressive house, you will struggle to find a track more lovingly crafted than this.
