Deephouse
As an experiment, Stefan Boon made Did It Before after noticing that many people around him weren’t really into techno. Wanting to create something more people could vibe with, he took a more mainstream approach with this track.
Someone introduced Boon to the music of the artist Stoto, which inspired him to create a track in a similar style. This led to the creation of Sumo. The person who introduced him to Stoto described the track as having 'summer vibes'. Taking 'SUM' from summer and 'O' from Stoto, the name SUMO was born.
If You Leave Me is one of Boon’s most well-received tracks. The guitar sections and the mellow vibe are what people love the most about it. As with all of his songs, the guitars were played by Boon himself, adding a personal touch to the track.
Boon's very first release was The Watch, often referred to as people's favorite track. Fun fact: this track was made using the free demo version of PreSonus Studio One, proving that you don't need expensive tools to create a song with the character of The Watch.
If you’re into mellow deep house with an alternative touch and subby basslines, Des Vallées might just be the track for you. It’ll take you straight to the streets of Paris.
High-Tech Minimal
Life isn't always fun and everybody feels a little down sometimes. In those moments, Boon heads to the studio to express his mood. D-Pression was created during one of those times, as reflected in its dark theme.
The Bear tells the story of a powerful bear striding through the forest. Suddenly, another bear appears in the distance. The first breakdown of the track represents their cautious approach, studying each other as they move closer. Then, at the big drop, the tension explodes as the two bears collide in a fierce battle, roaring and clashing with intensity.
I Really Don't is a track with a heavy kick and melodic touches. It’s powerful, rhythmic, and keeps the energy going from start to finish. Just don't mind its cover.
