Back catalogue: Deep House

Review: Conoley Ospovat's 'Transcontinental Trip' on Continental Drift captures a lush, bass-driven vibe that's both grounded and explorative. The title track kicks off with a jazzy, rhythmic pulse, setting a warm atmosphere that flows into the loose drumming and field recordings of 'Hold On,' evoking the understated style of Ricardo's Sei Es Drum. 'Sunbreaks' showcases Ospovat's melodic touch with a moody, layered groove, while the EP closes with the hazy, atmospheric 'Pacific Coast Rain'ia sparkling finish to an EP that bridges ambient textures with club-ready energy.

Review: Embark on a journey through Berlin's pulsating house music scene with Italian-born, Berlin-based Luca Olivotto, who infuses his beats with the energy of the city's underground while blending in his Mediterranean roots. This album encapsulates the essence of Olivotto's musical universe: a fusion of cultures, a celebration of diversity, and a testament to the universal language of music. Highlights include 'I'm (Not) Sorry,' which delivers a smooth New York house sound, embodying late-night beauty with its uplifting and deep tones. It's a perfect combination for those seeking a soulful experience. 'Don't Change' offers another excellent eyes-closed house burner, maintaining the album's deep and introspective vibe. Also, 'You & Me' stands out as the hands-up moment in any house set with the peak energy and communal spirit of the dance floor at its heart. Olivotto's ability to command dancefloors as a DJ and evoke emotion as a producer shines through in this double pack.

Review: Osunlade's latest release continues his transformative journey, evolving from a major-label ghostwriter to one of deep house's most spiritually attuned and culturally conscious figures. His Yoruba Records imprint has long been a conduit for globally infused, soul-drenched house music, but here he turns inward, stripping things back to something more meditative while maintaining his signature warmth. 'Wiggle Room' opens with rhythmic vocals, strings and congas that gently invite movement. The pace slows in 'PASS!!,' building a quiet tension, before 'Hang Nail' introduces Middle Eastern-inspired melodies and sharp, punchy beats. 'Luv' offers a burst of warmth with lush chords and smooth vocals, capturing the essence of that classic deep sound. In 'She Represents,' heavy 303 basslines pay tribute to Shirley Chisholm, intertwining excerpts from her iconic speech with commanding rhythms. 'So Long...Stranger' reflects on the isolation of the pandemic, a quiet moment of introspection, before 'Modular Movements' closes the collection with an emotionally charged resolution. This set offers a journey that balances movement and stillness, reflecting Osunlade's own pathideep, unhurried and reverent, like the house music he's crafted throughout his career.
