The Sound Of Reflection 27
Evaluation and Summary
The Sound of Reflection 27 is a one-hour DJ mix show hosted by Joram S with guest DJ Cleev on Data Transmission Radio. The episode is positioned as a curated selection of house, deep tech, minimal, and tech house music. The tracklist spans 18 tracks, predominantly featuring deep house and tech house productions with a focus on groovy, soulful elements. Notable inclusions are classic house touchstones like Loleatta Holloway's "Dreaming'" (acapella intro), alongside contemporary deep house and tech house tracks from artists like Route 94, Chinonegro, and Paul C. The mix emphasizes extended and remix versions, suggesting a DJ-focused curation designed for continuous listening or club play. Track selection leans toward feel-good, uplifting house music with titles like "Sunshine," "Sun is Shining," and "Feeling' Love" indicating an emotionally positive arc. The episode promises "extra energy" from guest Cleev's contribution, though the specific breakdown of which tracks are Cleev's selections versus Joram S's is not detailed in the notes. The show is part of Data Transmission Radio's ongoing archive and appears to be a regular series focused on showcasing different artists' interpretations of house music subgenres.
Verdict: A straightforward DJ mix episode with solid track selection but minimal editorial content, context, or insight to justify the listening time beyond the music itself.
