Matt Caines and Tooker’s “Between Silence” is officially out now on Magnetic Magazine Recordings, and it still feels like one of those deep house records where the title tells you how to hear it before anything else happens. The track does not push itself into the room too aggressively, and that is the point.
It sits in the quieter area where a vocal phrase, a steady low-end pulse, and a few carefully placed melodic parts can say enough without crowding the arrangement.
Snag It On Beatport Here
The single marks catalog number MMR067 for Magnetic Magazine Recordings and welcomes Matt Caines into the label’s roster, with Tooker bringing his own sense of live-minded musical depth to the record. Tooker’s name adds useful context here because his background as a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and DJ gives the track a little human looseness without turning it into something too loose or too jam-based.
That is the thing I keep coming back to with “Between Silence.” It has enough movement for a deep house set, and at 124 BPM in F minor, it can sit comfortably in a room without feeling too soft. At the same time, it leaves enough air around the parts for the smaller details to matter. The groove is steady, the musical phrases are patient, and the whole record feels like it understands that silence around an idea can make the idea hit with a little extra clarity.
The Track Leaves Room For The Details
The best part of “Between Silence” is how little it tries to force.
A lot of deep house records try to build tension by stacking parts every few bars, and that can make the track feel busy before it has earned the extra motion. Caines and Tooker go the other way here. The low end stays grounded, the vocal detail gives the track a human touch, and the melodic pieces move around the groove without taking over.
That restraint gives the record its personality.
Tooker’s background helps explain some of that patience, with years of experience spanning DJ sets, live percussion, and records on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Mobilee, and Sol Selectas. You can hear the difference between a track made by people filling space and a track made by people paying attention to what the room actually needs.
Matt Caines brings another angle into the record as well. 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 kind of background gives “Between Silence” a wider creative feeling because the track sounds built for a setting where music has to serve the room without turning into background material.
Magnetic Magazine Recordings Keeps It Patient
As a Magnetic Magazine Recordings release, “Between Silence” sits close to the label’s interest in melodic, organic, and progressive-leaning house that still keeps a human center.
It has polish, but it does not sound overly cleaned up. It has movement, but it does not feel rushed. It has a late-evening quality that could fit a warm-up, a sunrise set, or the deeper part of a night when the room is already listening.
The title still does a lot of work here.
“Between Silence” does not feel empty. It feels like the track is paying attention to what happens between the obvious moments. The groove stays in place, the melodic details come in with control, and the whole thing gives DJs something with mood and patience instead of another record trying to grab attention through size alone.
Matt Caines and Tooker built this one around tone, placement, and timing. That is why it feels right on Magnetic Magazine Recordings, and now that the track is officially out, it has room to find the sets and listeners it was made for.
