SPECTER AT NORTHERN PURPOSE

LOWTEC AT HOMO ELEKTRIK

MOTD – MNML SSG SPECIAL ANCIENT METHODS // VAN HORTON

These two mixes of the day comes from one of the biggest inspirations to the K / D – Keep It Deep team and it is from the online blog Mnml Ssgs if you dont know check it out here for those that know the integrity, passion, thought provoking Qs and discussions have aided and facilitated the wider community and we are very grateful. The first MOTD comes from Ancient Methods which is made up of two Berlin locals who consistently explored ideas and sounds at the newer Tresor space as they were residents at one point. Check out this interview over at Earwiggle here for the scope on the boys. The only way to describe the mix is a to imagine the nightmarish qualities found in Gaspar Noe’s films injected with vats of serotonin, this one is not for the faint hearted or unsure types.

Next up we have Richard Chinn a very well read mixed media purveyor / strategist  of all things interesting and thought evoking, hes a full bodied strategist at Wolff Olins, contributor at the Honey Club and last but not least the dude that curates the weekly RA podcast for kicks, check his site for more details here. Richard Chinn provides a more open, warm and measured affair exploring modern classical, ambient, drone records for easier listening than the Ancient Methods, relax sit back and enjoy.

SCANDAL – DJ QU – SOHO – GREG BROCKMANN – CAMILLE HOOZ

Scandal kicks off 2012 with one of the dopest Dj / Producer that we have been sporting here at K / D Dj Qu from NYC check some love here and here of his feature interview and album launch mix on the site. The resident Greg Brockmann will also play alongside Phonica records dappa dude from the middle east and also chief pole dancer at the K / D parties Soho playing purely vinyl and also not forgetting Camille Hooze. This will be a real serious deep house throw down and if you can make it i would strongly suggest you support the boys and Dj Qu as he only usually graces Fabric for his London visits which makes this occasion very special. Check out mixes from the artists playing at the party listed below and full ticket details here!

 

MOTD – UNDERGROUND QUALITY TAPE CLUB LABEL NIGHT BERLIN

STOP PRESS!! Underground Quality is having “ONE LAST UNDERGROUND QUALITY LABEL NIGHT” at Tape in Berlin!!

That’s right! Before Tape closes its doors for the last time, Bridgeport, Connecticut’s Underground Quality label is showcasing TWELVE of its artists in one absolutely show-stopping evening! Aside from DJ Jus-Ed and Fred P, this is the first time the majority of the line-up has played a UQ event! For many of them as well, it is the first time that they’ve played in Berlin.

Here’s what DJ Jus-Ed had to say about this night and the ethos of his label:

“I’m doing this party to say “Thank you” to Tape for believing in the larger underground house community. Not just Underground Quality! This is also for Germany, and the rest of Europe, for all of the support they have shown. This will be the last time that UQ will ever have a chance to do this type of event.full line up below and link for more details here and we have posted a couple mixes from artists playing at the gig!

ENJOY – LOW SLUNG RECORDINGS 001

Low Slung have been throwing parties in London for a hot minute now and we are pleased to present they are now pressing vinyl and starting a record label with EP 001 Enjoy by Low Slung with remixes by Andy Ash & Mathew Kyle keeping it oh slow with the BPM and pushing it deep.

Enjoy the title track swings and grooves with nice melody, strings and sliced vocal snippets which actually eludes to the more summery and breezy months. Mathew Kyle offers 2 remixes building on the downtempo slow mood groove from the original, both edits are smoking hot and well worth the acetate. On the flip things speed up a little with Don’t You Mind which has more meat to the bone and it invites you in alot earlier and will blend easier into deep house sets. Pretty tight production so far with good use of build ups and break downs from all tracks so far. Man of the moment Andy Ash definitely saves the best till last again pushing the groove a little and paying even more attention to detail, with smooth pads incisive keys and dope ass chords, this is the pick on the EP which has a slight Larry Heard feel really coming alive and becoming memorable. Overall EP1 from Low SLung is solid and a good foundation to build and grow from lets hope consistency and style are kept running throughout this new label, check the Low Slung page here for  updates on release dates and distribution.

HISTORIA y VIOLENCIA 7 – JOHN TEJADA & TRUNCATE

Historia y Violencia 7 is brought to you by technical maestro, John Tejada and rising talent, Truncate (David Flores). This release showcases both artists’ talent for classic production and forward-thinking sound design. The A-side is Tejada’s ‘Maximiliano (6 July 1832 – 19 June 1867), and includes a nod to the only monarch of the Second Mexican Empire. It brings classic depth that only John Tejada is capable of. The B-side is Truncate’s ‘.Venticinco (.25)’, which brings classic futuristic dance floor sounds to the here and now with additional sound effects provided by Silent Servant Juan Mendez. This is Los Angeles’ first and second wave at its finest. John Tejada effortlessly creates this crisp cosmic journey floating into the peak time or after hours and Truncate has a more direct driving rhythm which lends itself to bigger room sound systems like Berghain or Fabric check it out here.

MOTD – LOW SLUNG // DAN GILCHRIST // LOWKEE

 

Happy New Year folks i hope that all celebrations had happy endings with smooth music, inspiring new situations, great food and lovely conversations with new souls and old faces. This is our first post of 2012 as we slowly head into a very memorable year for many reasons you will see very soon! Our first Mixes Of The Day come from three very talented up and coming individuals driving very distinct & different sounds. Low Slung pushing that moody slow bpm disco re-edit flexed deep house sound and Dan Gilchrist nodding towards his inspirations from his stint in Ibiza ranging across pop diced house grooves,  vocals and moody bass lines. Last but not least Nisekay from Lokee provides a storming near 3hr mix recorded live on new years day in London, strictly focusing on the deeper groove sounds of the underground. Enjoy, share and keep it deep always!
