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!

Reports of a brutal massacre have been surfacing from various social media platforms in the last few hours. Eyewitness reports of the aftermath have said “there were pieces of skinny jeans everywhere!” and “the stench of burnt beard hung heavy in the air” Groups known as Y.C.O and D.S.O have laid claim to the attack that is now thought to have been carried out through the use of some sort of highly advanced, possibly extra terrestrial, sonic weaponry. They have responded to the incident with the following message – “The rising hipster population has lead to turgid levels of melodic dilution. In urgent response we, with the help of our other worldly comrades, intergalactic vibe warriors and defenders of the jack - THE DEEP SPACE ORCHESTRA have instigated a cull to reclaim the dancefloors from the chinstrokers, the stationary, the sedentary instafans, handing them back to the jackers, the movers, the freaks and the underground. Y . C . O”.

Prodigal sons the Deep Space Orchestra return to Foto with the mighty ?Blindsided? track. Starting off with a simple looping refrain and some classic house drums Blindsided develops into big Detroit territory with de-tuned toms and the trademark DSO layered synth action for an atmospheric ride. Definitely one for getting the dancefloor in gear. Over on the flip the two remixes from Medlar (Wolf Music) and another Foto regular Andy Ash are equally as good. Medlar opts for shuffling drums and a dose of the funk whilst Andy turns in a classy bumping electronic workout. Our kind of house music for 2012.

Deep Space Orchestra having been forging a nice niche in a modern take on house music, blending, disco, detroit and chicago influences , and here at Tracky Bottoms, we cottoned on to one of there deepest tracks to date Mass illusion about a year ago now ! its taken a while to come to fruition , but the Stolen Future EP is here . Mass illusion it self is probably the track gaining most interest , probably because it has achieved the difficult task of being very deep but also quite anthemic , also featuring on the ep – stolen Future harks back to early Carl Craig vibes , with a ruff ass beat driving the synthy techno , theres a remix of this from label boss Toby Tobias who takes it in a more loopy chicago vibe  and last track Witch Doctor has ethnic hypnotic quality about it , but with some added dynamics by Toby who edits it for maximum dancefloor reaction .

Deep Space Orchestra is the recording pseudonym for a long-standing series of collaborations between Chris Barker and Si Murray, who met in 2005 while watching Joe Claussell and Danny Krivit spin at a Body & Soul night. Their music draws inspiration from classic house and techno as well as film soundtracks, sci-fi flicks, video games and a dark sense of humour.

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.

D2: Letting go feat. Nexus Techne
Short info:
„All The Colours“ was a concept that came about from Andy Ash bringing together his music and visual art in an attempt to try and identify the common ground between the two. In both mediums, Andy attempts to convey the full range of human identity – at first you see and hear euphoria and playfulness, but look a little closer and you will also notice anger, sadness and tension. On this album, Andy approaches house music as the vehicle to convey many different feelings. These tracks are designed to be played on the dancefloor and bring people together – this is what house music has always been about!
The whole album was made over a two-year period in Andy’s home studio using a mixture of analogue hardware and samples. During this period, Andy was suffering with some significant mental health problems and this album represents his attempts to channel this energy into something productive. This is also the first time Andy has worked with vocalists, bringing a new dimension to his music. Whether it is the old school inspired „The sound“ which features vocalist Erik Rico, or the deep and moody „I’m Here“ featuring Liverpool vocalist Amber Kuti, this album brings many different shades of house music to the table! A real statement!

B2: Misty
Short info:
How deep can you go? Well, you better ask Japanese master Jank! Jank is another example of these “hidden gems”, but releasing on labels like City Fly, Mysterious Works and Boogie Café says it all. The “Piece of ballad ep” on Quintessentials is super deep and emotional House music. Keeping the BPM low and adding soul power and a jazzy laidback feel make these 3 tunes massive. Don’t look away if you’re into Theo Parrish and alikes!

Tracklist 12” :
A1: Otw
A2: Shakyabody
B: Evolution
Short info:
Atlanta’s hot shot Stefan Ringer is the man for the last Quintessentials release in 2020. He has been building up his reputation with eclectic music on NDATL Muzik, People of Earth or his own FWM Entertainment label and he now makes „The difference“ for Quintessentials. Stefan Ringer offers up a loose and soulful take on MPC-made house full of deep tips and sci-fi tricks. „Otw“ and „Shakyabody“ are a well balanced mixture of smooth and raw with catchy rhythms, subtle vocals, warped synths and dirty claps. „Evolution“ is an 11 minutes long monster of a ambientish track - deep, dreamy and the perfect sound to reflect on a turbulant year. This is the difference! By Stefan Ringer!

Simon Hinter – another gem? We think so! This german music freak has been doing music for many years with some splendid releases on smaller labels like Phil Holland plus being picked for on Osunlade mix CD, but it just recently got bigger with his release on the ever hot Freerange label. Why we like his sound? It’s raw and it got funk! Filtered loops, chunky basslines, catchy melodies? For sure! All 3 orignal tracks are pure Simon Hinter stylee and to give you the extra bonus, Wolf and Quintessentials buddy KRL gets back in action with a fab remix. Yes, we all wanna make love!
