Summary: Deep In China (The Luoyang Session) 洛阳 I have been trying to put together some genuine deeper sets for a while. I never fully succeeded to the extend that some would propose that I simply can’t, for I love vocals and sugary melodies far too much to let go and really dig deeper.. Well... whilst travelling "Deep" in China, I had the time to attempt to reach the Great Deepnes :). Using the hotel room sound system as Main output, I came out with 6 deeper sets.. I am still unconvinced of the overall result but here is the first one, between 117 and 120 bpm.. for better or for worse. I may not succeed at the first attempt but I hope that one of the 6 will hit the spot.. Besides I buy far too many deep tracks to let them die in the confines of my hard drive. The set is kept within traditional Deep keys with minimal edges and very current tracks. You will be the judges.. Playlist: 2013 Restless For You (Boogie Rapture Spring Fling).

Nina Simone Highliights: From local talent extraordinaire Nathan G, a soft deep tune “Restless For You” to hopefully set a serene start to the set. I love the D sharp key used in countless classical pieces to induce “feelings of the anxiety of the soul's deepest distress, of brooding despair, of blackest depression, of the most gloomy condition of the soul”.. It is I believe one of the best key to use for Deep House. “Just the Way “… simple tune based on 3 piano chords, one vocal hook and great ambient production. “Love Sensation” stay in the minor keys, add some beats and a different vocal hook and we have another serene tune. This is what deep House is: building slowly on very simple premises. “For The Sake Of Love” from Midiman, similar groove, still in minor key keep up with the soothing atmosphere of the set. “Another Lie” from Dada Deep, change of keys and a bit of progressive edge to the Deepness. One of my favourite track of the set. “Beautiful” from Hakan Kabil. Perfectly production, layered with synths and filters and everything Hakan could build on.. Enjoy.. “Can You Hear the Beat” Kyodai revelation of 2013 for me with Spiritchaser doing what they do best.. pure dopeness.. Do not let the simple architecture of the track fool you, it has a lot of in-built swag,. “I’m in Love with You” from Samir Maslo. I have noticed that I have recently bought most of his releases.. Another inspired producer.. This is deep with an undercurrent of Funk and Disco in the keyboard and the guitar. Very clever. “Ich Lass Dich Nicht Zuruck” from the Peacemaker Project.. I will return to this track and open a set with another remix.. Amazing, layered, inspired… I am running out of qualificatives.. DO NOT MISS! "Moving Sound" from Miguel Migs… Deep House sets requires Miguel somewhere.. Simple and effective dope with a slight edge.. “Taste This Love” I love the Deepak remix of Petros Mitolis' track.. and to be able to slot Petros between Miguel and Roland(continued)
