2014 Jan Deep In China The Xin Nian Kuai Le Session (新年快乐)




House is a Journey show

Summary: Deep in China The Xin Nian Kuai Le Session (新年快乐)   Taking the opportunity in the middle of my Deep in China Sessions to dedicate this one to my Chinese friends and wish them a Happy New Year!   Sticking to the Deep theme with a more progressive colour, although I did include a couple of tracks the Deep purists might hang me for. I stepped up the beat in this one just a tad as well.   Playlist:   1999 Five Fathoms (Kevin Yost Everything and a Groove Mix Ben Watt Edit) . EBTG 2013 Back To Love (Original Mix). Beckwith feat. Catherine Porter 2009 September (Original Mix). Danny Howells 2013 Sometime (Original Mix).  David Kassi Boggie 2Nite (Boogie Luv Vs Spiritcatcher ).

Tracey K, David Vendetta vs. Keith Thompson 2006 The Cure & the Cause (Original Mix). Fish Go Deep feat. Tracy K              Highlights:   “Five Fathoms” the Kevin Yost remix of the EBTG anthem.. Nothing more to say.. If anything listening to Ben Watt learning his skills on Sundays at Lazy Dogs in North London decades ago is what brought me to do this..   September from Danny Howells. I had to truncate the track to stay on the CD format yet I must confess that Danny Howells would be one of the first CD of Deep and Tech I ever bought. I owed him one..   “Boogie 2Nite” Boogie Luv vs Spiritchaser.”. Unfortunately I cannot credit anyone as I have lost the tags to the files.. And some purist might disapprove but I know good Deep House when I hear it and this mash-up is A-class!   C O O L one of  my favourite in this set. Progressive Deep Indie you choose but the production is masterful and the drums are delicate.   “Fading Nights” by Parra for Cuva.. Love this track, love all its remixes and Anna Naklab has a unique way to phrase her lyrics.. Immense production. Pure talent.   “Breathe” from Jonathan Meyer.. Had some tragedy in the set, the work on the synths is beautiful and again great production. The internal build of this track is classical in its structure.   “Chains” from Audiowhores. Deep with swag, what I really love. Audiowhores are on top of their game.   “Cause I Feel “ similar as the previous track with a simple vocal hook, equally as good.   Back to Audiowhores with “Facts” in my top five 2013 tracks regardless of genre. Everything is good, the keys, the bass the very simple percussions, and slamming vocals. THIS IS GOOD!   The Rhemi remix of “Let the Music Play” I know I have dropped it before but it is of the highest quality and the set needed some funk and lightness by this time.   Very happy to have found the Cube Boys Mash-Up of the” Cure and the Cause”. “The Cure & The Cause” is of my top ten house tracks of all time and this mash-up is amazing. DO NOT MISS, I added some beats and changed the key, the talent is all credit to the Cube Boys. As for Tracey K, she may very well be the most perfect pitched vocalist of our generation, pity she is not used enough.   Happy New Year to all the Horses   I may resume the Deep in China Session and slot something a bit different in between.   Hope you like it   Xtian
