  Deepsessions Recordings are a growing Greek imprint, and this latest 3 track EP comes from Cristian R. Greece has a fine reputation for producing decent progressive artists, so its good to see a label rise from the Mediterranean country too.

Opening up the EP is "Deserts," a neat progressive track with tight drums and subtle strings. Not an outstanding track, but one that is very tidy indeed, a solid start to the EP.

Next is "Flight Intense", which is in a similar style to "Desert" - a tidy progressive with understated atmospherics, solid drums and a workmanlike bassline. Definitely playable and useful especially for podcast play.

Wrapping up the EP is "The Secret", which is a little more epic than its two friends, setting the scene with some wide chords and strings. A deep progressive track which would work well in the set of someone like Nick Warren, for example.

The latest episode from Deepsessions Records is a solid one, 3 good tracks, all well produced. This EP is definitely something for the progressive purist, and well worth checking out.
