Onysia’s My Soul Is… Split Series Finds Detail Inside Deep House And Minimal

Onysia continues its Split Series with My Soul Is…, a four-track vinyl release built around J Gabriel, Thomas Melchior, and Bruno Pronsato.

The record sits in that part of deep house and minimal where small changes do most of the work. The grooves stay controlled, the arrangements leave room for detail, and the psychedelic side comes through gradually rather than forcing itself into the front of the mix. That gives the release a useful dual purpose. It can stretch comfortably across a longer set, and it still rewards the kind of listening where every shift in timing, texture, or repetition starts to matter.

J Gabriel appears throughout the project, opening the release with “Bells Spells,” then collaborating with Bruno Pronsato on “Hey There” and Thomas Melchior on the title track. Bruno Pronsato closes the record with his Soulcircus Mix of “My Soul Is,” giving the central idea another route through the same restrained, slightly strange club language.

J Gabriel Holds The Split Series Together

The collaborative format gives My Soul Is… its personality, but J Gabriel provides the thread connecting the four tracks.

That matters on a split release because records like this can easily feel like a loose collection of names rather than one coherent statement. Here, the recurring presence of J Gabriel keeps the release connected while still leaving room for Melchior and Pronsato to pull the material in their own directions.

“Bells Spells” introduces the record on its own terms, while “Hey There” shifts into a shared space between Gabriel and Pronsato. The title track brings Thomas Melchior into the center of the project, and the closing remix gives Pronsato another chance to reshape that collaboration.

The structure feels considered. Each side expands the same general language through a different creative relationship, which suits Onysia’s approach to minimal house as something flexible rather than rigid.

Built For The Longer Parts Of A Set

My Soul Is… feels especially suited to extended sets, where tracks need to create movement without constantly demanding a reset in energy.

Deep house and minimal records often do their best work in those longer stretches. The DJ can let the groove settle, introduce another layer slowly, and build a room through accumulation rather than a sequence of immediate peaks.

The collaborative structure also gives selectors several shades of the same mood. “Bells Spells” can introduce the record’s language, “Hey There” brings Gabriel and Pronsato together, and “My Soul Is” provides the central statement before the Soulcircus Mix turns it in another direction.

Released on vinyl as ONYSIA013, My Soul Is… gives Onysia another focused entry in its catalog. The label keeps the music tied to the floor while leaving enough space for detail, personality, and the slightly crooked moments that make minimal house worth following over a full side.
