Matt Caines and Tooker’s “Between Silence” is one of those deep house records where the title tells you where to start listening. It is not loud about itself, and that is probably the whole point. The track sits in that quieter space where a vocal phrase, a low-end pulse, and a few well-placed melodic parts can do more than a crowded arrangement trying to prove itself every few seconds.
Magnetic Magazine Recordings is premiering the track a week ahead of its official release next week on May 29, with the single marking catalog number MMR067 and welcoming Matt Caines into the label’s growing roster. Tooker is listed on the record as well, and his presence gives the track a clear sense of depth, especially when you know his background as a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and DJ with years of live percussion and global electronic music experience behind him.
That context helps because “Between Silence” has a live-minded feel without turning into a jam. It stays measured, but there is a sense that the groove is being held by people who understand the room, not by a grid alone.
The Space Between The Parts
The thing I like about “Between Silence” is how much room it leaves around the main ideas. The track is listed at 124 BPM in F minor, and that tempo gives it enough movement for a deep house set, but the production does not feel rushed. The parts sit with patience, and that makes the quieter details feel more important.
Tooker’s background makes sense here. He has played across more than 30 countries, with appearances connected to ADE, BPM Festival, Lightning in a Bottle, Burning Man’s Robot Heart and Mayan Warrior, Scorpios Mykonos, Woomoon Ibiza, and the Brooklyn Mirage, and his music has appeared on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Mobilee, and Sol Selectas. That kind of experience usually teaches a producer what to leave alone.
Matt Caines brings a different perspective. Based in Miami and New York, he is also the co-founder of Art With Me, a festival centered on art, music, dance, food, and environmental awareness. That background gives “Between Silence” a wider creative context, because the track feels built for a setting where the music has to serve the room without flattening into background material.
A Deep House Premiere From Magnetic Magazine Recordings
As a Magnetic Magazine Recordings release, “Between Silence” fits the label’s interest in melodic, organic, and progressive-leaning house that still keeps a real human quality at the center. The track has enough polish to sit comfortably on streaming platforms and enough restraint to feel useful for DJs who want something with space, mood, and movement.
The title is doing real work here. “Between Silence” does not feel empty. It feels like the track is paying attention to what happens between the obvious moments. The melodic phrases are not overloaded, the groove stays steady, and the whole record has a late-evening quality that would make sense in a warm-up, a sunrise set, or a deeper section of the night.
For a premiere, that makes it easy to talk about without overstating it. Matt Caines and Tooker are not trying to force a massive statement here. They are building a record around tone, patience, and a sense of placement, and that is exactly why it feels right to introduce it early through Magnetic.
“Between Silence” is out May 29 via Magnetic Magazine Recordings.
