Deep In China (The Luoyang Session)\\xa0\\xa0\\u6d1b\\u9633

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\\u2019t, 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..

Highliights:

From local talent extraordinaire Nathan G, a soft deep tune \\u201cRestless For You\\u201d to hopefully set a serene start to the set. I love the D sharp key used in countless classical pieces to induce \\u201cfeelings of the anxiety of the soul\'s deepest distress, of brooding despair, of blackest depression, of the most gloomy condition of the soul\\u201d..\\xa0 It is I believe one of the best key to use for Deep House.

\\u201cJust the Way \\u201c\\u2026 simple tune based on 3 piano chords, one vocal hook and great ambient production.

\\u201cLove Sensation\\u201d 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.

\\u201cFor The Sake Of Love\\u201d from Midiman, similar groove, still in minor key\\xa0 keep up with the soothing atmosphere of the set.

\\u201cAnother Lie\\u201d from Dada Deep, change of keys and a bit of progressive edge to the Deepness. One of my favourite track of the set.

\\u201cBeautiful\\u201d from Hakan Kabil. Perfectly production, layered with synths and filters and everything Hakan could build on.. Enjoy..

\\u201cCan You Hear the Beat\\u201d 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,.

\\u201cI\\u2019m in Love with You\\u201d from Samir Maslo. I have noticed that I have \\xa0recently\\xa0bought 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.

\\u201cIch Lass Dich Nicht Zuruck\\u201d from the Peacemaker Project.. I will return to this track and open a set with another remix.. Amazing, layered, inspired\\u2026 I am running out of qualificatives.. DO NOT MISS!

"Moving Sound" from Miguel Migs\\u2026 Deep House sets requires Miguel somewhere.. Simple and effective dope with a slight edge..

\\u201cTaste This Love\\u201d I love the Deepak remix of Petros Mitolis\' track.. and to be able to slot Petros between Miguel and Roland Clark was at last a nice way to to justice to his immense talent.

\\u201cContent\\u201d by now you know I can\\u2019t resist a Roland Clark, this one is a bit jazzy for my liking but.. still it is Roland.. If he were a woman and she had his poetry and his voice I would melt!

\\u201cTimes Up\\u201d by Cranky Owls.. if it weren\\u2019t for the next track I would put it as THE GEM of the set..\\xa0 and it is current. Architecture, new beats, amazing rich production, (this one requires headphones), funky, this track has everything good deep house can bring to the table AND spoken words, which as you know I cannot resist.

"Here Comes the Sun" (Francois K. Remix).. One of my all time fav.. This is pure perfection and if you hear dissonances at the end, Francois K meant them and to be able to bring dissonance on such an musical anthem and still stay at that level of perfection is pure genius..

I am done..
