Vince Watson – The Awakening / Flashback | Progressive House & Deep House 12 Inch Vinyl Cat No: ESOL030Label: Everysoul AudioGenre: Progressive House, Deep HouseSpec: Picture Sleev eDisc Colour: BlackFormat: 12 Inch Vinyl Description: Long-serving Scottish DJ and producer Vince Watson — now based in Amsterdam and operating at the peak of his powers — lets loose with his big summer track for 2026 on his own Everysoul Audio imprint. The Awakening / Flashback is a three-track 12 inch vinyl release that sits beautifully between the futurist, melodic, Detroit-influenced techno sound with which Watson originally made his name and the cultured, forward-thinking deep house and progressive house that has defined his more recent output. Classy stuff, as ever. 'The Awakening' hits right on the money — Octave 8-style synth strings, sun-bright pianos and original Belleville Three electronics rising above a hybrid techno and house groove, with an E-Dancer-style bassline providing the low-end foundation. Ultra-emotive, life-affirming and full-on hands-in-the-air from start to finish, this is a genuine summer anthem of a record — piano-heavy, euphoric and built for festival moments and peak-time open-air sets. The 'No Strings Attached' version follows on A2, stripping back the orchestral elements to let the E-Dancer-style bass breathe and deliver a leaner, more club-focused tool with every bit as much heat as the original. On the B-side, a faster BPM edit of 'Flashback' — taken from Watson's acclaimed 2023 album 'Another Moment In Time' — brings a more dancefloor-friendly tempo alongside extra heat and intensity in the build-ups. Ultra-melodic, rushing and constantly building, it is a peak-time progressive house workout steeped in the kind of nostalgic emotion that only Vince Watson does quite this well. Perfect for DJs and collectors into progressive house vinyl, deep house 12 inch records, Detroit-influenced electronic music and the essential Everysoul Audio catalogue.
