Second long awaited album by Zarenzeit a.k.a George Btp (Dan Piu) full of collaborations like Bjak, Chris Gray, Dubbyman, Owen Jay & Grant. From downtempo under the 80's sound and the electro vibes, until the pre-rave sounds of house, the album recreates the journey of a night in a Club, since the opening until the closing time. A record to bring in the suitcase forever for his incredible variety, to play in different moments of the set. This album is dedicated to one of the hottest venues our planet has ever experienced.

Spain's Deep Explorer has always operated on the edges of the deep house universe and now they turn there again with this heavyweight 12" from Gregor Yan. It's the sort of classic sound that made first rave deep practitioners like Larry Heard and later Glenn Underground so well revered: musical, lush, layered. Drums feature but are often soft and subtle, with the chords and hi hats doing much of the work to get you in a groove. Highlights are plenty, but the serene and sombre shuffle of 'Garage' takes some beating. More

Before his debut studio full-length, Dubbyman racked up a remarkable discography of dance singles and remixes. He has been away for a little while, but his new 10-tracker album is the perfect tool for him to make his anticipated return. "Deep is dead" is a fascinating mix of organic and synthetic, past and present, smoothness and eclectic, darkness and brightness. The Spanish producer has veered away from those dub-heavy and dark atmospheric deep stylings, and instead has ventured into much classic house and musically territory. Almost all songs are soaked in warm chords, dreamy leads and gripping melodies. Dubbyman also offers an immense and stunning roster of credits and guest musicians such as Kuniyuki Takahashi, Leo Gunn and George Btp aka Allstarr Motomusic, just to mention a few.

After their contribution to "Far & Beyond" compilation, Owen Jay & Melchior Sultana get back to Deep Explorer finally with a full EP, where they combine different styles in just 4 tracks. Deep instrumental, vocals and even electro vibes.Everything under the smooth shield of the Batti Batti team. The circle is completed by the remix of "Make me feel" (the track that opened the doors of Deep Explorer to the Batti Batti family) by the legendary Mike Grant (Moods & Grooves). More

Auji Industries represents the most deepness side of the japan scene. In 2011 he droped "Love you more EP" for Pan records, an instant classic for all the real deep followers. Now he joins the Deep Explorer army with this 4 track eo full of frozen emotions and winter sounds. It includes a sick downtempo remix by Man-Drake (the other face of Dubbyman)

For their latest trip into ultra-deep house territory, Spain's Deep Explorer imprint has turned to South African producer Ofuren, co-founder of the Roots Go Deep imprint. Predictably, he delivers a trio of cuts oozing with smoky atmosphere and intoxicating dancefloor warmth. The bongo-laden "Ancestry' kicks things off, with evocative pads, whispered vocals and a delicious bassline wrapping themselves around a bongo-laden afro-deep groove. Somehow, he manages to eke even more depth from the machines on "Mind Jazz Exploration" and "The Deepness (Ode To The Soul)", a Ron Trent style chunk of dreamy dancefloor bliss. Finally, Man-Drake and Afrikan Sciences join forces to turn "Ancestry" into a loose, appealing slice of midtempo goodness, complete with hazy melodies and a yearning, early morning feel.

Bjak and Dubbyman team up to become Twin Beats on the latter's Deep Explorer imprint. This is the pair's first collaborative release, but their studio chemistry is there for all to see as the first few bars of "Do It Properly" ease out through your speakers. It's floaty, jazz-flecked house bathed in pools of gently rippling bass tones, and things are given a sophisticated edge by the adroit vocals of Brian Cullen. This shares the A-Side with the slightly more upbeat "Water Walk With Me", with Cullen matching Marvin Belton in the modern day soulful crooner stakes. Flip over for a remix of the title track from - gulp - Larry Heard, with the Chicagoan legend turning in a typically sumptuous slice of machine soul that naturally hogs the vast majority of the B-Side, before an excellent EP is rounded off by a beatless outro. More

BACK IN !!
Strong collaboration from Bjak (Eargasmic, RealDEEP records) and Janet Cruz (Velophone, RealDeep records) for this "Bleesing in Disguise EP". Opening with the magic of "Your love" where Janet & Bjak are doing a wonderful duet with a really infectious chorus set to stay in your head for a long time. On the flipside, Above Smoke makes his beat less interpretation, hot beats and hypnotic chords. To close the Ep, a little house gem called "Free2love", greatly performed by Bjak in a melancholic vibe between Chicago and L.A.
