Deep, funky with smooth mellow beats over perfect lyrics and it's totaly addictive! These are the few keywords to describe my favorite album at the moment: Electronic Music From The Swedish Left Coast by Plej. Although entire album is great, specially "Blue" and "You" are just fantastic tracks and already in my all time favorites list. definitely I'm gonna play these in my next mix.Like one of their fans said on their myspace page;
"How can you find so much warmth without sun?"

"Deep and Funky with smooth mellow beats over perfect lyrics and it's totaly addictive!"

Paul Sullivan of BBC reviewed this amazing album immaculately:
The name Plej was originally created for the record label of Swedish siblings Arvid and Ertik Niklasson. But as their studio antics progressed, they decided that making music was more fun than selling it - and adopted the name as a production moniker. The hazy, black and white images of forests and mountains that adorn the cover of their debut LP Electronic Music From The Swedish Leftcoast seem to somehow suit the wobbly, wistful semantics of their nom-de-disque, hinting simultaneously at the dreamily organic contents that lie within.

Plej's previous output hasn't been abundant but it has been frighteningly consistent. Anyone who has laid ears on their Shimmer and Sky series EPs or their recent "You" track will know already their penchant for creating naturally unfurling deep house which occasionally dips into more experimental micro-house territory - a style they endearingly refer to it as small house.

For those that haven't yet been seduced by the duo's velvety caresses, this album is as good a place as any to get acquainted. Opening cut "Lay Of The Land" immediately offers an example of how they like to infuse their studio beats with a sense of outdoorsy lushness, glazing their 4-4 chugs with delicate layers of coruscating synths and not a little magical moonlight.

The LP unwinds in a similarly rustic manner. The smudged, glacial "Blue", the trumpet-enhanced "Seasons" (the first single from the LP), the insouciant harmonies on "Song", the shimmering disco tendrils of "Jabo's Night Out" and the soft-as-snowflake funk of "Shimmer", all conjure up unashamed feelings of well-being and optimism and make for a thoroughly addictive record.

"Soulset" and "A Jabo Thought" provide the obligatory downtempo moments, but really this LP is about moving club sounds into arenas of experimentation and sexiness. Lying somewhere between the whispered grooves of Herbert, the quirkiness of Isolee and the lush depth of Naked Music, it's the sound of deep house getting its kit off and running joyously through the hills.

CSS / Cansei de Ser Sexy

Download MP3: CSS - "Let's Make Love and Listen To Death Above"

This band rocks! Period. Their video "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above" has been rolling on one of the local music televisions for awhile. Finally I downloaded the track today and played it over and over and over. I just loved thier sub pop music with elements like funk, electronica, rock and even dance which can be called electro-rock!

I couldn't listen to their self titled debut album yet but I'm sure rest of the album is just fine like the first single. Here is what sub pop website said

"From São Paulo, Brazil comes CSS, the first South American band Sub Pop has foisted upon the global marketplace. Cansei de Ser Sexy, Portuguese for "Tired of Being Sexy," is improbably, unbelievably and nearly eponymously their debut. It is a thick, pulsating thing full of haphazard synths ("Alala") and a come-on of call and response that tears down any attempt at posturing ("Art Bitch," "Patins"). It is equal parts rock mantra and throwback into something new, transcending boundaries of genre and geography. It careers full speed into dance territory, into the unknown and untouched, to emerge all hot and bothered with wild electro-rock. Pretension? Absent. Friction? Probable. They are the un-pretension: unfinished, exposed, and throwing all they have right at you. It is quick, tightly-wound, unfastened and supreme. Not a sneer but a giggle. To paraphrase from the Portuguese: "Not only music, but a new way to live with it. An unfinished group that, unlike preserving itself until getting 'to the point,' was bravely showing off, turning everything into style." Fashion. Art. Design. Cinema. Panties thrown and received. Micro shorts and dirty legs. How does it happen? It happens like this…"

Filespoint.com is totally fucked up, no downloads for awhile

The site where I keep my files for this blog; filespoint.com is now totally fucked up and gone out of business (I don't know the details but its domain name is for sale on godaddy.com which means its fucked up level is critically high...) So there will be no download and more dead links for awhile until I find another .com doom survivor file holder website. New sets are on the way though, come back soon if you can.

Robert Burian / Esplendor

I was really excited when I first listen Robert Burian's fantastic deep house piece "Esplendor" on Soultonic Mono Launch Sampler and I thought "Oh here comes another Timewriter" but my excitement faded as soon as I find his website and read his welcoming message.

"I am starting to make different styles of music. My home production is and forever will be "TRANCE" and this style I am producing at project name "BuRo" , other style I produce is called "progressive" where you can find also some new releases under project name "Rob B" and the third and the last style is "deep funky vocal house" which I present under my real name "Robert Burian" there will be also releases in this style, so stay tuned and check for updates..."

According to me,he should focus all of his energy on Deep House productions since he came with such an amazing track like "Esplendor". I quess his interests on Trance music is related with his age I hope he'll find the right way when he gets a little bit older. :-)

Robert Burian was born in a small town with the name Nitra in Slovak Republic which is situated about 100 kilometers from capital city Bratislava. At early age he started to be interessted in music. He started piano lesson and kept them for two years.At this time he is studying and producing trance and house tunes, so and from this you can see that main hobby in his life is music. He has started producing trance music about 10 years ago and while this years he haslistened to different styles of music, but he prefer trance music and he has learnt much about this style. He has caught many important informations, read many books and at this time he has signed stuff with many labels and he has big support from big names.

Here, I share this beauty but I won't upload it again when this link expires in 30 days.

Madonna You Thrill Me / Erotica

Ok, some of you might roll your eyes when you see a Madonna post on a deep house blog but please don't :-) As a former Madonna Fan I've been hungry for her Deep House Mixes for years. Let alone the deep house mixes it's really hard to find quality house mixes of Madonna Tracks except few mixes from Vasquez and Masters at Work back in the beginning of 90's. I don't know why but she insists on releasing Trancey productions instead of something smooth and soulful whenever she comes up with new material. So I decided to do some simple house bootlegs and came up with 2 mixes. I wasn't planning to post'em but after I realized that she added Erotica/Thrill Me to playlist of her latest confessions tour I thought it's the right time.

Hot Shot Debut : Laid - A Room For You

Swedish duo Laid's debut album "A Room For You" is finally out now on Loaded records!

John Andersson and Johan Emmoth, aka Laid, are the creative force behind a raft of aliases, including Zoo Brazil, Cuba Computers, Nars and Outcold. The pair has steadily carved out a reputation for themselves as one of dance music’s most innovative and respected production teams. In a club-oriented career they have released over sixty singles and forty remixes in less than six years.

"it's a collection of groovy, hypnotic, laid-back (no pun intended!) house, and there's no filler in sight!"

The pair have worked with some of the world’s largest artists, including Fatboy Slim, Human League, Nitin Sawhney, James Holden, Blaze, Dirty Vegas, and Zoot Woman to name but a few. The boys have also notched up releases or remixes on top labels, including Music For Freaks, Paper Recordings, Yoshitoshi and 20:20 Vision in last six years.

From the first swirling strains of album opener ‘Home’ and across the following ten tracks,Laid takes you to a journey through the genres of House Music while very nice vocals, addictive basslines and electro-tinged work outs are flying around.

Bonus track "People" (Buick Project mix - bonus track) is simply amazing with all its solid bassline, drums and electro samples. I'd love to hear Emma on Vocals though. There are more nice tracks like "Home", "People" , "Believe in Me" making this album definitely a hot shot debut.

Born With A Sweet Tooth (Asad Rizvi vocal pass)

Born With A Sweet Tooth (instrumental)

After his amazing "Slippery Heights", whenever I see Asad's name I get exited. Although he couldn't came up with something as big as "Slippery Heights" since then this Deep/Tech House record released from Asad's own Wrong Recordings. With Hip house and Breakbeat flavors it is more exiting with his Vocal Pass interpratation. My favorite; "John Larner(Inland Knights) Remix" contains few samples but the fantastic bassline and catchy vocals make you move instantly.

Asad's Disco-funkin' "Duality" on the A-side is not the Asad we know but yet pure fun! Nice deep touch with that tasty Rhodes, plus some quirk to boot.

Boo williams / Demarkus Lewis' New Ep

I've been waiting Williams and Lewis to come together again and release some stuff since their amazing track "Keys To City (Dees Dub)" got into my all time favorites list last year. "Keys To City" is one of the most uplifting deep house track ever. I saw a 140 kg totaly stoned man got up and danced to it as soon as I play it and I thought "yeah, this record has some side effects" For those of you who doesn't know what it is to be fat and stoned, let me tell you that its fucking hard to move.

On june 16 2006 Capture US records released Boo williams / Demarkus Lewis' New "The Peak Hour" Ep which is nice and warm, carrying vocals, bionic pulses/beeps and synths with a rolling - catchy- bassline. Vey nice track again, thumbs up!

Plus I bought the last one in Adidas Originals store in Istanbul almost 30 Euros cheaper than the ones in german concept stores on the internet. Thus, now I adore it :-) Finally, it's nice to have cool things in istanbul and more and more are coming. Now it's even possible to buy limited edition legendary onitsuka tiger sneakers! Hurray!

Delia gonzales & Gavin russom - Relevee (DFA Mix)
please respect the artists and buy records.

When I listened installation artists Gonzales & Russom's "Relevee (DFA Mix)" on their double 12" "Relevee" released from DFA Records UK last week, first I thought "yeah it's absolutely a Hot Shot Debut!".

With it's very nice intro, dreamy vocals and amazing disco/electro feeling, Down Tempo "Relevee (DFA Mix)" is one the best tunes I've listened in past few weeks. After millions(!) of replay I decided to dig a little bit deeper for getting more from Gonzales & Russom but I end up in dissapointment.

Unfortunately "Relevee" single is full of weak remixes from Carl Craig and Baby Ford. Well, it's way too much experimental for me and "Relevee (DFA Mix)"is shining like a star among the others. Thumbs up!

Chris Brann / Ananda Project

On May 9 Nitegrooves US released Ananda Project's new 12", "Suite Dreams" with supporting remixes from one of my all time favorites The Timewriter and we'll take an extreme close up look on Chris Brann who is the talent behind this project as well as so many other personal Garage/House projects such as Ananda Project, Feral, P'Taah, P'tang, Relight, Santal, Wam Kidz, Wambonix, Wamdue, Wamdue Productions, Wamdue Project and groups; Delilah, Jackass & Mule, Wamdue Kids so far.Although it seems like Chris is having a personality crisis, the truth is, he achieved pretty distinctive works under those aliases.

Ananda Project feat. Terrance Down - Falling For You
(G-Pal's Child Of the Sun Remix)

Growing up in Atlanta, Chris discovered house and electronic music by the somewhat long-winded way of getting sent tapes from Europe. He began assembling a home studio but it wasn't until 1994 that he began his music career in earnest and formed Wamdue Kids with DJs Deep C, aka Chris Clarke, and Udoh, aka Chris Udoh. In 1995 they released the classic 'Higher' on the Acacia label, which led to the seminal debut album 'These Branching Moments'. In 1996 Chris' prolific attitude to work came into its own solo album 'Deep Fall', reflecting a diverse direction to that of his productions with Wamdue.

Chris started The Ananda project in late 90s and it was a side project in the beginning. Brann never set out to make the Ananda Project the crown jewel of his musical legacy. When the outfit began in 1998 - inspired through a chance meeting with Lancelot and Bryan of King Street Sounds and Nite Grooves labels. So, Ananda Project's amazing first single "Cascades Of Color" with singer/songwriter Gaelle Adisson came. it was massive for house music addicts, "indeed sounded like a sunrise; an illuminating and rejuvenating orchestration of deep, soulful house, punctuated by Brann's understated melodichues and Gaelle Adisson's angelic, honey-coated harmonies."

It didn't take long time for Mother(Danny Tenaglia) to find this secret weapon because "Cascades Of Color" was really distinctive from any other house production of its day. John Digweed, Deep Dish and Pete Tong followed him but it was Tenaglia's edit of "Cascades Of Color-Saffron mix" which made it a big smash. "Cascades Of Color" released 8 times (As different remixes on 12"s and a 5" CD) between 1998 and 2004. After tremendous demand from house scene, following Ananda project single "Straight Magic" came in 1999 and after that Ananda Project released 3 more Garage/House records (" Glory Glory", "Release" and "Bahia/Expand your Mind"), for me, none of them was as big as "Cascades Of Color" but in 2001 Nite Grooves released the amazing 12" of "Falling For You" featuring angelic vocals of Terrance Down which eventually became one of my all time favorites especially with the support of dreamy bassline and drums of G-Pal's "Child Of The Sun Remix" of the score.

Yet, that was not the time that my appreciation for Chris Brann (and for his all other names) hits the top but it was when I first listen to Delilah's "Be Strong 4 me" relesead by Yoshitoshi (ah! it was such a nice label back in the beginning of 2000s, what the heck happened?). Both original 12" and remixes were fantastic! When I hear the first words of Heather Johnson, I realized Chris Brann raised the standards of Vocal House music and no one's gonna buy those cheesy tracks with meaninglessly screaming female vocals as easily as before. But they did anyway :-)

Ananda Project's new 12", "Suite Dreams" is in stores now

Move! Chicago House Music Festival

America is full of contradictions: it is the ‘land of the free’, but its civil liberties, as we know from Guantanamo Bay, are laughably insecure. New York is billed as ‘the city that never sleeps’, but in the last few years a war on nightlife has led to the closure of tens of the city’s nightclubs and bars.

Clubbers are vilified by the media, and in 2002 the Senate tried to pass the infamous Reducing Americans’ Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act (or R.A.V.E. Act), which if it had become law, made landowners responsible for their patrons drug use.

But now Chicago’s local authorities have given the thumbs up to the city’s first ever house music festival. Illinois’ Department of Economic Development and the Bureau of Tourism are supporting Move!, a two-day international house music festival which takes place for the first time this year on 22nd and 23rd July.

Move! will feature some of the world’s most famous house music DJs such as Danny Tenaglia, Frankie Knuckles, David Morales and Steve Hurley as well as celebrate the city’s long and fruitful history with the genre. Unbelievably this is the first time that the city has organised a house music event of this kind.

Wallpaper From Fhe 70s

I love 70s. Maybe it's because of sexual liberation of HIV-free generations or those funny hairdos and pants but one thing for sure, I adore furniture from 70s. When I decided to re-decorate my flat I realized that I want something retro on one of my walls which will fit my mom's 35 years old coffe table and armchairs perfectly and finally I found this: you're gonna love it if you like 70s.

Deep House Music

House music is a collection of styles of electronic dance music, the earliest forms of which originated in the United States in the early- to mid-1980s. The name is said to derive from the Warehouse nightclub in Chicago, where the resident DJ, Frankie Knuckles, mixed classic disco and European synthpop recordings. Club regulars referred to his selection of music as "house" music. However, since Frankie was not creating new music at that time, it has been argued that Chip E. in his early recording "It's House" defined this new form of electronic music and gave it the name "House Music".

The common element of most house music is a 4/4 beat (a prominent kick drum on every beat) generated by a drum machine or other electronic means (such as a sampler), together with a continuous, repeating (usually also electronically generated) bassline. Typically added to this foundation are electronically generated sounds and samples of music such as jazz, blues and synth pop, as well as additional percussion.

House music is uptempo music for dancing and has a comparatively narrow tempo range, generally falling between 118 beats per minute (bpm) and 135 bpm, with 127 bpm being about average since 1996.Far and away the most important element of the house drumbeat is the (usually very strong, synthesized, and heavily equalized) kick drum pounding on every quarter note of the 4/4 bar, often having a "dropping" effect on the dancefloor. Commonly this is augmented by various kick fills and extended dropouts (aka breakdowns). Add to this basic kick pattern hihats on the eighth-note offbeats (though any number of sixteenth-note patterns are also very common) and a snare drum and/or clap on beats 2 and 4 of every bar, and you have the basic framework of the house drumbeat.

This pattern is derived from so-called "four-on-the-floor" dance drumbeats of the 1960s and especially the 1970's disco drummers. Due to the way house music was developed by DJs mixing records together, producers commonly layer sampled drum sounds to achieve a larger-than-life sound, filling out the audio spectrum and tailoring the mix for large club sound systems.Techno and trance, the two primary dance music genres that developed alongside house music in the mid 1980s and early 1990s respectively, can share this basic beat infrastructure, but usually eschew house's live-music-influenced feel and black or Latin music influences in favor of more synthetic sound sources and approach. As new recordings adhering to this general style emerged, The house genre divided into a number of subcategories and one of them is probably the reason you are here: Deep House Style.

Deep house is a style of house music. It is loosely defined by the following characteristics that distinguish it from most other forms of house music:

- relatively slow tempo (110-125 bpm);
- de-emphasized percussion, including:
simpler drum machine programming;
gentle transitions and fewer "build-ups";
less "thumpy" bass drum sound;
less pronounced hi-hats on the off-beat;
- sustained chords or other tonal elements that span multiple bars;
- increased use of reverb, delay, and filter effects;
- a featured solo R&B vocalist, often male, exhibiting soul, jazz, and/or gospel influences;
- jazz influences or samples in the instrumentation.

Not all of these need to be present or fully satisfied in order for house music to be called "deep house"; fans of the style typically just identify it by its subjective "feel" rather than by the presence or absence of specific elements. The term "deep house" first appeared in the music press in the late 1980s, usually in reference to the music of Larry Heard.

Inland Knights

>>> Download Mp3: The Littlemen - Stoned (Inland Kingts Mix)<<<

I've been listening this Inland Knights remix over and over during last week which made me focus on this duo. Shame on me that the track is from 2005. Anyway this one may be an amazing opening title for a mix. Under the Inland Knights moniker the pair have been fruitful, releasing tracks on labels such as Ralph Lawson's famed 20:20 Vision imprint, Panhandle Records, Vista, Siesta, Sunflower, NRK, Low Pressings, double down and many more. Their blend of jazz and funk, dynamic percussion and vocal hooks has been instrumental in catapulting the Inland Knights to international popularity. Their DJ sets are a fusion encompassing most styles of house, from dubby deep house, disco and garage to four-to-the-floor tech house.
Now into 2006, Inland knights will be concentrating on a two part ep to mark
the 50th Drop release. This will be coming out towards the autumn and
feature loads of new tracks plus maybe one from the vaults, and be released
as a part one and part two ep package. An ep for San Francisco’s Amenti is
also on the cards.Despite their success as producers,and over eight years of releases under their belts, they refuse to withdraw into the studio and will continue to DJ and tour extensively. Riley notes they are always looking to balance their performance and production schedules. "If you start to do too much of one,"
he says, "You start to miss the other."

I'll Make Some Noise

"I'll make some noise" is a 127 BPM House mix with minimal, tech and deep house elements ands starts with Steve Bug's amazing B-Side "Summer Nights". If you like deep house stuff I'd advise you to take a look at Love Vibe or Fiascoish Friday but if you like something techy go ahead and download this one. Enjoy.

ANDRE, David & DJ SMALL presents BODYTALKERS - Jack The Beatbox (12") Brique Rouge France

Audio Soul Project is back again with Brigue Rouge France's "Jack The Beatbox". Although I'm getting sick about electro samples hacking into Tech house records, this one is tasty! On the other hand it's such a pleasure that seeing all of those House producers jumped into electro madness in last few years are coming back to their roots again. Briefly, house beats are IN again. Ok, I have to admit that reasonable amout of electro feeling is just nice and establishs diversity especially in a mix but hey guys please don't overdose it, One Trentemoller is just enough and He's doing his job perfectly.

although it seems like people at the Soulmagic label have lack of imagination and creativity for naming, I really liked the first release of this one. Probably it's because of the smooth vocals. There is nothing THAT special about this one but although Funky/Vocal/Club House is the genre with the most new releases every week it's so hard to find even a single nice record to pick and highlight unless you are spinning in a beach club in aegean coasts of Turkey and you are looking for some disturbingly screaming female vocals with brain damager snare drums before so called build ups for playing between this summer's Hot Turkish hits.

So I picked this one one. Deserves a shot.

Resident of New York's Deep Space, Creator of Body & Soul and the owner of the wave music François Kevorkian will be spinning in Istanbul on Friday, May 26, 2006. Tickets can be purchased from Biletix

The French-born NYC resident can be considered one of Larry Levan's disciples and therefore one of the forefathers of house music. If you are into house music and even for a little period of time you turned your face to New York City, checking out what's hot and what's not in the scene, you probably know mr Kevorkian since he permanently stamped his name on House Music history.

Probably it will be in vain talking about his long biography and prelude records, paradise garage, Violator remixes for Depeche Mode, His Tour mate larry Levan and so on, instead I'd like to focus on what he's doing right now for his new weekly Monday night event in New York City called Deep Space which really interesting. Bad news for house lovers but His career as an artist did not stop evolving, as he rekindled his interest for a more electronic sound, and the release of his Sonar Music set in 2002 marked a turning point; he started playing a much edgier and futuristic style, with more to do with Techno and Dub than the House sound he was mostly identified with as a DJ until that time. it was such a turning point that he also started touring along with Detroit Techno legend Derrick May, playing sets together as the 'Cosmic Twins'. His recent appearances at Berlin's Tresor, Manchester's Sankey's Soap and London's Fabric have helped gain him many younger fans that may not have been aware of his previous work.

In these days kevorkian focuses on Dub in all of its forms, and where the format is extremely eclectic, ranging from spaced-out Techno to the deepest Reggae, Hip-Hop as well as Drum& Bass, House and Disco.

Love Vibe

This Deep and Funky House set from summer of 2005 named after iz&diz's amazing "Love Vibe" starts as deep as it can be with The Timewriter's "Deliver Me" and builds up until it gets funky with Boo Williams & Demarkus Lewis' masterpiece (one of my all time favorites), "Keys To City (Dees Dub)"

All tracks in this set vividly reminds me warm, brezzy days with the azure sky of deepest summer, lying down, doing nothing and maybe a joint or two. Since another beautiful summer is coming onto istanbul's skies maybe it's time to bring it up again from the seasonal mp3 archive. Enjoy and don't hesitate to comment and don't forget that first motive of a DJ is sharing what he/she likes so good comments can motivate to do another one ;-)

Smoke it Deep III

I discovered blacksoul's deep, urban beats while I've been surfing around deep house websites back in 2002. Blacksoul's Smoke it deep is still hot after 4 years and proved itself as a timeless dj set. I had to share it with you! Thanks Deep Rhythms for bringing him up and hosting the set.

In Tomislav's words: "Croatian deep house dj and producer Tomislav Badass Pasanec who is also known as Blacksoul - that's me in brief. I want to show you my deep, soulful, jazzy, funky and tech sides connected by one storyteller, always playing from heart with love - showing you that I live through my music and that's the most important important for me."
