The 4 Colors EP

Deeply Rooted House

DJ Deep's Deeply Rooted House imprint returns with another tasty record.
The first track on “The 4 Colors EP” is “Back to the Raw” in a previously unreleased mix. Despite his success as dj and producer, Kerri Chandler has always remained true to the spirit of the underground which made him a truly house legend. The second track is “Oh Yes” by Manoo from Rodamaal (check those keys… sick!), then we have “Gisele” by DJ Bertrand (from Nantes, not the one of Distance, Substance and Fairway compilations!) and, finally, “Bring it”, a dope track by the NextMoov founder.

Mars

Iwanai

“Higher Marxx” (feat. Lotus), released on NYSoul, is a deep spoken word track with a pleasent atmospheric piano. The record also includes the Pablo Martinez remix.
“Mars” will be released soon on Iwanai (label from John Kumahara and Ryan McAdam). What can I say about this track? It comes from a different planet... superb!

“Higher Marxx” (feat. Lotus), lançado pela NYSoul, é um tema deep com spoken words e um maravilhoso piano. O disco inclui ainda uma remistura de Pablo Martinez. “Mars” vai ser lançado nas próximas semanas na Iwanai (label de John Kumahara e Ryan McAdam). Este é daqueles temas cujos synths nos transportam para outra dimensão… soberbo!

Alex & Reverend P feat. Chynna Blue

If you find your way

Funk La Planet

Another beautiful record from Funk La Planet Records (I think we all keep in our mind the Dennis Ferrer's outstanding remixes for “Life Everlasting”). "If you find your way" features a sexy vocal performance by Chynna Blue and irresistible jazzy keys. The 'Funk La Planet Remix' features an organ solo and extra keys.

sample1 / sample2

Mais um belíssimo disco da label Funk La Planet (penso que todos os amantes de soulful têm bem presente a remistura Dennis Ferrer para o tema “Life Everlasting”…). "If you find your way" conta com uma adorável performance vocal de Chynna Blue e teclas jazzy irresistíveis. A “Funk La Planet Remix” conta com um solo de órgão e teclas adicionais.

The Enigma

Esta Noche

Track Mode

The Enigma project is back, after the amazing “Man on Fire/Smooth” on Eargasmic Records. Co-produced by Chicago House legend Glenn Underground, “Esta Noche” features male spoken words, snappy percussion, melodic keys and a TB-303 styled bass line. Under his moniker CVO, Glenn Underground is responsible for the incredible remix, a driven affair with synthesisers and chords. This record also includes a remix by Rick Miranda.

sample1 / sample2

O projecto “The Enigma” volta à carga, depois do maravilhoso “Man on Fire/Smooth” lançado na Eargasmic Records. Co-produzido por Glenn Underground, “Esta Noche” conta com spoken words, teclas sedutoras, percussão eficaz e uma linha de baixo que nos remete para o tempo em que as TB-303 dominavam. Sobre o nome “CVO”, Glenn Underground é o responsável pela remistura, fazendo um trabalho incrível nos sintetizadores. Uma remistura de Rick Miranda está também incluída no disco.

Vinil!

Studio Apartment feat. Terrance Downs

We Are Lonely (original + QH remixes)

King Street Sounds

Japan’s Studio Apartment team up with Ananda Project vocalist, Terrance Downs, on their stunning song, “We Are Lonely”. Deep & silky lyrics over latin beats and beautiful piano riffs are the main elements of the beautiful soulful "Original Mix", while Quentin Harris provides two great remixes. A "Vocal Mix" with organic tribal beats and elegant organ swells and a very old-school sounding "Dub", with spoken words and a tougher dimension. Beautiful record.

Finally...

Deep!

Mr. V

The Drum

Vega

Long time after the huge hype around “The Drum” by Mr. V, the record will be finally released on Vega Records. Honestly, I can’t understand such a big delay and, in this situation, I think it will have notorious effect on the sales. As Jihad Muhammad said in his DeeperSoul Interview, and I absolutely agree, [about file sharing and less sales] “some labels not putting out the music until a year later plays a part of the problem”.

sample1 / sample2

Muito tempo depois do hype em volta deste tema ter chegado ao máximo, o disco vai finalmente sair na Vega Records. Não entendo o que leva uma editora a prender tanto tempo um tema. “The Drum” de Mr.V teve grande projecção em várias rádios especializadas e em dj mixes, arrastando-se nesses meios um sem número de meses. Será que agora o disco vai ter as vendas que merece?

Without You

.

Deep!

Kem

Without You (Scott Wozniak remixes)

Restricted Access

One month after the DJ Will Gee remix, now we have the Scott Wozniak vision for “Without You” by Kem. Togheter with the vocals, this remix features super warm keys and nice organ and synth.

sample1 / sample2 / sample3

Um mês depois da remistura de DJ Will Gee, chega-nos agora a visão de Scott Wozniak para o tema “Without You” de Kem. A voz é sempre acompanhada por teclas quentíssimas e, numa segunda fase, por órgão e synth. Se não fossem estes últimos, a diferença entre as remisturas de DJ Will Gee e Scott Wozniak não seria muito evidente…

Shaheer Williams feat. Stephanie Cooke

Show Me (Fanatix Remix)

Soul Groove

Stephanie Cooke has one of the most respected voices in the dance scene. In fact, some of the best producers have her vast talent in their records (Blaze, Studio Apartment, …)
“Show Me” by Shaheer Williams, released last year on his own label, receives now the re-treatment by UK duo Fanatix (Aaron Ross and Neil Pierce). The remixed is based on a classic groove featuring pleasant keys and synth stabs which combines perfectly with Stephanie Cooke’s brilliant voice.

sample1 / sample2 / sample3

Stephanie Cooke tem uma das mais respeitadas vozes no mundo da música de dança. De facto, alguns dos melhores produtores já recorreram ao seu enorme talento (Blaze e Studio Apartment são apenas alguns deles).
“Show Me” de Shaheer Williams, tema lançado o ano passado na sua própria label, recebe agora a remistura da dupla britânica Fanatix (Aaron Ross e Neil Pierce). Este trabalho é baseado num groove marcadamente clássico construído à volta de teclas e apontamentos de synth, combinando na perfeição com a maravilhosa voz de Stephanie Cooke.

Essential...

Stacey Mallory

My Rhythm

Camio

Camio Rec, the young label from Jonny Montana and Nick Moss, will release this month a hot instrumental track by Stacey Mallory. I must say I’m in love with that jazzy keys and organ solo, what a beautiful piece of music, what a talent! In my opinion, this is one of the best records this year...

sample1 / sample2

A label de Jonny Montana e Nick Moss, Camio Rec., vai lançar ainda este mês um monumental tema de Stacey Mallory. Devo confessar que aquelas teclas jazzy e aquele solo de órgão não me saem da cabeça, fiquei imediatamente viciado em “My Rhythm”. Trata-se de um dos discos do ano, na minha opinião.

Franck Roger feat. Josh

Tribute

Real Tone

The hardest working Frenchman in house music is back (does he sleep?) with the fourth “Earthrumental Project” on his own label. “Tribute” has a wonderful sax (by Josh) and warm keys, being one of my favorites tracks by Frack Roger this year.

sample1 / sample2

O homem que parece não dormir está de volta com o quarto volume da série "Earthrumental Project". "Tribute" contém um sax muito simpático (por Josh) e teclas que atingem altas temperaturas, sendo um dos temas que mais gosto dentro do vastíssimo conjunto de trabalhos de Franck Roger este ano.

Poor people (Quentin Harris mix)

Symple Sound

This song did some serious damage on the Southport Weekender this year. Listen to the sample and you can imagine why…
Quentin Harris is on fire, the number of records with his touch this year (originals or remixes) is absolutely incredible. Unrestricted Access, Space Kat, Home, Yoruba, Solu Music and Need 2 Soul are some of the labels that have his music this year.

sample

Este foi um dos temas que mais se destacou no Southport Weekender deste ano (fim-de-semana passado). O festival dedicado ao Deep/Soulful House contou com as prestações de Tony Humphries (um dos responsáveis pela selecção e mistura do CD alusivo ao evento), Joe Claussell, Franck Roger, Gilles Peterson, Tortured Soul, Karizma (um set memorável, segundo consta), Kerri Chandler, Timmy Regisford, Spinna, entre muitos outros. Não vale a pena ter esperança num cartaz minimamente parecido com este por cá, pois não?

Marlon D vs Dennis Ferrer

The Breeze

City Deep

This track was already mentioned here on DeeperSoul some time ago, but now I bring it up again because the 12” was finally released. New York's producers Marlon D and Dennis Ferrer are the responsible for this underground joint, using some dope beats and vocals (by Dennis Ferrer himself!) before the keys and synth comes in to create something like an orgasm in our ears! This is the second release from Halo’s label City Deep, after the success of “This Love” by Halo & Sidestreet Players.

sample 1 / sample 2

Este tema já foi aqui referido há algum tempo atrás mas, dado que só agora foi lançado o disco, penso que se justificam mais umas palavritas.
Marlon D e Dennis Ferrer, ambos produtores de Nova York, juntaram-se para fazer este peculiar “The Breeze”. Os beats arrastam-se longamente, numa segunda fase com a companhia da voz do próprio Dennis Ferrer, criando o clima perfeito para a entrada arrepiante das teclas (qual orgasmo auditivo!). Mais um belo disco da label City Deep que, ao segundo lançamento (depois de “This Love” de Halo & Sidestreet Players), parece afirmar que não veio para brincadeiras. Nós agradecemos…

The last SpaceKat release this year will be “Talk To Me” by Scott Wozniak (responsible for the recent “Soho Sessions EP” on Large and many other records on labels like Distant, 83 West and King Street Sounds, among others). With sweet vocals by Ambrosia (who is know mainly for work with Blaze and Big Moses) and gorgeous bass line, “Talk To Me” is a potential hit.

sample 1 / sample 2

O último disco deste ano da label SpaceKat será "Talk To Me” de Scott Wozniak (responsável pelo recente “Soho Sessions EP” na Large e por muitos outros discos em editoras como a Distant, 83 West e King Street Sounds, entre outras.) Com a doce voz de Ambrosia (conhecida, principalmente, pelo seu trabalho com os Blaze e com Big Moses) e um baixo que não sai do ouvido, "Talk To Me” é um potencial sucesso.

Afromento

Kumba

Blockheadz

This is the new release from the french label Blockheadz recordings with the duo Hedi & Fudge, after the last ep called "ramaya". You will find on this record four exellent tracks with special afro and percussions vibes, especially on the first track, "human wave" (sample1), the most dancefloor track of this vinyl with an afro-groovy rhythmic, catchy bass and some dreaming background vocals, it just keep your soul in action. The second, "kumba" (sample2), is more down tempo but so smooth and so sweet, with hypnotic percussions and some afro lyrics made by Fudge. On the other side, two more tracks. On the first you will be able to visit the "rumbe street" (sample3), it's a wicked groove or even percussions dialogue. Congas and timbales are rolling away into this street. The last one is an afro-deep and mental track who will make you pass from the (rumba) street to amazonian forest (sample4).
