As we've revelled in the abstract jazzy tones of label chief Master-H on KDD ..... Its time to take things from the smokey cellar floor to sweaty warehouse spaces, as we welcome Aubrey back to Komplex De Deep. Allen Saei aka Aubrey has over 23 years hands on experience of the scene. His DJ career took him from his first residency in Portsmouth's 'Central Park', to playing London's biggest raves and parties in the 1990's, sharing the decks with the likes of Carl Cox, Groove Rider and Mr C. Launching his own Solid Groove Records in 1990, Aubrey's career went from strength to strength. Releases and remixes followed for labels including Sublime, The End, Ferox, Mosaic, Reel, Intec and Leftfield's label, Offshoot. His material was licensed by Derrick May, Terry Francis, Pete Tong and Carl Cox, and his track 'Early Riser' co-written with Max Brennan, featured on the very first Fabric 01 compilation, mixed by Craig Richards. 2010 saw him release 'Dark' on Belgian label Mowar, and he followed that with his Komplex De Deep debut, the 'High Pass Highway' EP . Today we are proud to be bringing you his first release of 2011, the "Harlequin Opal" Ep. A four track selection that sees Aubrey move seamlessly from the atmospheric synth-laden joy of the title track to sparse, metallic and acidy sounds of Octavius. On the flip "Power Of The Drums" is an expansive, cinematic and industrial tinged cut, whilst "Radiatus 40" spins us headily in into the ether with is waves of spacey synths. Perfect! Adam Carter

Born in Japan, and raised in Brazil, Ifume has always been exposed to a variety of musical influence. Whilst his musical aptitude was apparent at early age, learning piano and guitar, Ifume never really exhibited a desire to pursue a career in music. Upon graduating from high-school, Ifume, through his friends, discovered the local club scene, and it was here that his passion was ignited. Today, Ifume is set to join the new wave of young, exciting house producers. Whilst his sound is far from obvious, it does mirror his love for the New York, Detroit and Chicago scenes. He may well have been too young to experience at first hand, the early sounds coming out of those cities. But his love of the gritty, unpolished and brutally honest sounds of the 80's and early 90's, can be heard in his own intricate productions. Showcasing quite frighteningly mature production skills, Ifume presents four stunning deep house cuts. Exclusively analog, each one exudes that delectable warmth of sound throughout. This really is a debut release to savour ladies and gents. Listen, download and support Ifume and Komplex de Deep...

Master-H's Komplex De Deep may only be 10 releases old but, due to its consistent quality, and unrelenting mission of releasing unique pieces of music, unbound by genre, it has quite rightly built a strong following who eagerly await each and every release, to see just what the French label chief will bring us next. After wowing us with his very own 'Stabs Call' last month, H has turned to his favourite Irishman to usher in the end of the year. A regular on the label, Chymera has already lent his remix skills on KD004, and released the excellent 'The Rumours Of My Demise', back in December of last year. Today he brings us two of his very finest in stunningly beautiful, piano laden 'For The Lonely', and the superbly emotive, crowd-pleaser that is 'Ceril'. On the remix of 'For The Lonely', the Irish are in full force, as Fish Go Deep back their countryman with an excellent and thorough reworking. The EP is rounded out in style with a Master-H 'Detroit Vision' take on 'Ceril'.

Over the past twelve months, New York based M A N I K has been residing at the top of many peoples 'one to watch' lists off the back of his 'Park To The Slop' EP on Josh Wink's Ovum Recordings (which also led to releases on Four:Twenty and Fresh Meat.). The 24 year old is rapidly building a reputation with his work and it gives us immense pleasure to welcome him to Komplex De Deep. Both the title track and flip 'Space & Truth' take us on elegant and sensual, oldskool journeys. Sweeping strings, rasping keys and most importantly lashings of groove, make this a release to revel in. From a new and rising talent, we turn to a very much established and legendary producer for our remixes. Alain Ho has unlike many, been there from the very beginnings. A DJ since the age of 13, he was instrumental in the creation and success of the French House scene. From his early days in Hip-Hop, to the launch of the famous Yellow Productions label and through his very own productions under his DJ Yellow guise, Alain has always been at the forefront of electronic music.
