And just like that we're into double figures. This week going back into the depths, slowed down the bpm's to a chugging, hypnotic 124 and this mix is full of a much deeper, beautiful sound than the slammers of last week. Unlike my usual 3 deck smash it all together style with this mix I was going for a trippy, relentless, hypnotic vibe so there's very little dj'ing, just trying to blend the tracks really smoothly and get out of the way of what these talented producers are doing.
Tracklist:
1. Gabriel Rei - All And This
Stunning deep house with great pads and some lovely "real" drums and a great squelching bass that keeps things moving along nicely.
2. Game Plan - Club Negotiations
Lovely twirling synths matched to a really simple bassline make this a proper vortex of a slow deep house track.
3. Christopher Ledger - Initialisation
One of those tracks that just sounds massive. I don't know what studio trickery goes into it but this one just seems to fill the speakers and gives the sub a proper workout.
4. Secret Witness - Have You Ever (Club Mix)
Deep.
5. Gene Tellem - N'you
I just discovered this producer and all her stuff is pure fire. This one with the ace vocal sample that just gives it that moodier edge and then a full on wall of sound trippy synth action. Love it.
6. Gene Tellem - Chipped
See above,
7. Audio Soul Project - Damelo Dub
Those that have been around the block a bit will remember this guy from the undergound anthem "Back to Joy" that he produced in the early 00's, He's been releasing a long series of dubs on his bandcamp, most of them fantastic.
8. Mr G - Toi Toi
The don back at it. Still keeping up with my rule of not making a mix without a Mr G tune in it.
9. Kolter - Washed Away
I've been rinsing this lad's stuff, most of his productions are either ace or daft, this one does something a bit different and goes a bit deeper. A nice driving bassline helps keep things moving along here.
10. Mr G - Let Down
More brilliant vocal snippets and massive synths from G
11. Hiraku Nagasawa
Found this tune on a Brawther comp and it's amazing. Quality synths just take you to another dimension.
12. Gene Tellem - Tender as a Rhodes
She's the business.
13. Hiroshi Morohashi - Two
A deeper dig - check this guy out, insane stuff.
14. Matt Spiaggi - Are you ready (Tomas Pizzelli Remix)
Continuing my fondness for ending deep house mixes with a breaks track, and this one's a doozy.
Let me know what you think!
Sorry about the terrible video quality at the end, my camera had some sort of failure.
