Jonny Bee – NYC Sunset

Jonny Bee NYC Sunset UM Records
Some typically high-quality deep house here from the UM Records stable.

There are two tracks and four mixes in total. In its Original form, NYC Sunset itself is a lazy, meandering affair made for warm-ups and post-club sessions, unless you're lucky enough to be playing to the most specialist of deep floors; the CRAM Remix then takes us even further into driftaway, late-night territory. You Make My Dreams Come True, meanwhile, is another deep n' mellow affair, with soulful tinges but also a little of that ominous, brooding production quality you associate with the deepest of techno. Hall North then supplies a slightly more floor-friendly take, with tuffer drums but still a dubbed-out feel overall.

Classy stuff all round – but then we expect no less from Richie Hartness's label.

Out: This week

About: You can find UM Records (or Untitled Music, if you prefer… I've never quite worked that one out) on Facebook, at their own blog or on Soundcloud.

Various - DeepWit Spring Moods

A five-artist, five-track sampler from Denmark's excellent DeepWit here, showcasing the label's trademark subterranean house sound perfectly.

The artists in question are Asona, Jonny Bee, Ejeca, Ev Darko and dEEPoint. I'm not gonna go into every track individually but suffice to say that if you dig 4/4 beats that are thumping yet unhurried… atmospheric synth washes… warm, phat yet understated b-lines… nods towards classic Chi-town deepness à la Larry Heard… and the odd garage-y vocal snippet… then you're going to be pretty much in heaven here.

Essential stuff.

Out: This week
