There's no need to do a big introduction of Deep Space Orchestra. Si Murray and Chris Barker have releases on a number of heavyweight labels (e.g. Delusions of Grandeur or Use of Weapons) and regular guest appearances at club nights and radio shows throughout the UK and rest of the world. Their second EP for Quintessentials is some raw and analogue business topped with the DSO funk! Wolf Music hot shot KRL adds some piano and old school power on his remix and we must admit we're delighted!

DJing and producing together since 2005, Deep Space Orchestra (Chris Barker and Si Murray) have releases on a number of heavyweight labels and regular guest appearances at club nights and radio shows throughout the UK and rest of the world. Recent highlights include being asked to record a guest mix for Gilles Peterson's highly influential Worldwide show and an upcoming mix for Michael Ruetten's Soulsearching show. They also run the Use of Weapons record label, which, although only two releases old, is already gathering much praise. Deep Space Orchestra releases appear on Delusions of Grandeur, ART, Winding Road, Home Taping Is Killing Music, Use of Weapons and soon Instruments of Rapture, Drumpoet Community or Tracky Bottoms too. Yes, these guys are hot! More

Deep Space Orchestra are exploding all over the world's speakers right now. Their recent releases on the Zombie Soundsystem label, and on their own new label Use of Weapons, have been blazing in the ears of the house cognescenti. DSO's tracks have been getting support and plays from Floating Points, Jimpster, The Revenge, Michael Rutten, Scott Grooves, and plenty of other discerning DJ's looking for something fresh and sparky in these tired times.
DSO have forthcoming EPs on Kirk Degiorgio's ART label, and on the legendary Home Taping imprint. Good things indeed for Deep Space Orchestra - and now they add Winding Road Records to their portfolio.
The 'Inside Out' EP is a solid package featuring quality tunes from start to finish. Midnight Runner is a heavy plunge into deepest underwater techno, which drives fearlessly forward through a storm of ride cymbals. On The Inside hovers and builds on a single chord, until breaking deliciously into a slinky deep house groove with a plonky bassline leading the way.
On the B-side, The Revenge pass by to deliver the 'Memory Warehouse' remix of 'On The Inside' - a simple and decisive slice of deep dark rave, with all the hot production values we love to hear from The Revenge. Moonrunners, finally, is an organic and musical collection of neatly packed Rhodes keys, piano splashes, trumpets and intense bass notes, and wraps up the package in style.
Another great EP for DSO - and a solid return for Winding Road Records.
