2014 Jan Deep in China The Mengzhou Session. ( 深藏在中國。在孟州會議 )




House is a Journey show

Summary: Deep in China The Mengzhou Session.  ( 深藏在中國。在孟州會議 )   Second installment of Deep in China. I believe I am almost there to finally claim that I have mixed a true full Deep House set. The picture was taken in Mengzhou (a predomiantly muslim enclave) in Henan, China.. At least you will believe me when I write Deep in China. And yes I ate there and no I did not get sick.. at least not there.. No gimmicks, just a selection of five stars deep tracks, which for all but one, I liked and was eager to see how they would blend.   Playlist:   2013 The Deejay's An Alien (Money House Club Remix).

It is the epitome of Deep Dope.. “This Life” continuing the same thread, within a strict key range and Roland Clark to guide us. A final note on the synths.. just perfect.  “Liar” from Bourne, bass line rules in this track, with again intricate soft pads resonating throughout. Great vocalist making it one of the track of the set. Ilias Katelanos on remix duties lifting this track to Deep heaven. “Back Home”. I love the undercurrent of funk and arguably very happy of how both tracks meshed together.. All about the bass and and simple chords.. Again! “Run” from Maneken,, I have used it recently, Deep and Progressive with 80’s vocals hooks throughout.. Immaculate production. “I Go Back” from Harry Romero.. Track was in the Deep folder for a while and at least I am still on cue real deepness with this one. “Feed Me” from Scrub and Wahnon on the darker side of Deep.  Somehow this style talks to me more when I am on the decks than pure deep house, which I may like to listen to but which I have great trouble to stick to. Give it a fair listen it is very good, very polished. “Inside My Love” from Magic Eye.. THE ABSOLUTE GEM OF THE SET!! DO NOT MISS! I will let you discover what’s Inside this Love J, you will regognize it. I will not spill the beans because if you are lazy enough not to listen to the full track, you have not earned the goodies  “inside my love”… Immense production. “Out of Reach” from Jody Wisternoff. I took me a while to like this track, one of the reason being that I do not think the voice of Mendelsohn is used at its full potential.. But the more remixes I hear, the more I get int... And Deep/Progressive it is! “Good Bye” from Das Nolas. By that time the set was well under way . I knew I had (for once) been able to keep it as deep as it ought to be..  I was slowly but surely giving it a more progressive tone and it felt right. Great remix of Audiowhores! “Octavia” from “Full Intention”. Stepping up the mix towards the end.. If I were listening to it, my feet would be itching to move by now.. “Breakin' Of The Dawn 2013”. Closing the loop towards true deep house with Ross Couch on the remix.. I love how it starts deep and touches on soulful when the vocals come in. Ross Couch did(continued)
