Max Sinàl - Healing EP
SQR021
Tracklist:
Label co-founder and London deep house torchbearer Max Sinàl back for a new Soul Quest EP.
More than just a collection of club-ready cuts, Healing EP is a deeply personal body of work. The project is built around a narrative of Max’s mental health journey, with each track representing a different chapter in his life, moments where his mental wellbeing was tested, reshaped and ultimately strengthened. Sonically, each record inhabits its own distinct space, reflecting the emotional contrasts of those periods, before culminating in a closing statement of healing. Ongoing Max states.
Opening with “Reflection”, Max sets the tone with smooth, lush deep house built around warm Rhodes chords and a rich, rolling groove. Longtime friend and collaborator KingCrowney adds soaring trumpet lines, elevating the track into a heartfelt conversation between keys and brass…
“Maya” shifts gears into deeper, jacking territory, driven by a punchy, garage-inflected bump. A tribute to Max’s daughter, the track balances dancefloor toughness with unmistakable warmth, weaving swung drums and hypnotic bass into a celebration of love, responsibility and legacy. It captures a transformative chapter where fatherhood became both grounding force and motivation.
On “Alone”, Max ventures into broken beat territory, showcasing his versatility as a producer. Clever but mournful vocal sampling floats over infectious chords, intricate rhythms and detailed percussion, creating a moment of vulnerability and introspection. Rooted in West London’s bruk legacy yet firmly future-facing, the track represents a time of isolation and internal struggle.
The title track “Healing” featuring Liv East marks the inevitable reunion following 2025’s breakout anthem “Intentions,” A deep sultry house cut.
