Hope your New Year was pleasant. I have new tracks from Gerry Read, Morphosis & Aril Brikha. Joakim & Bambounou teams up for one of the most interesting tracks I've heard in a while. Kenny Larkin remixes Kevin Saunderson on Defected.
The first triple play of year goes to Stephan Laubner that also shows his productions under his STL guise. Be sure to check out his 2nd "Unreleased Instrumentals" album on Something Records. Chicago legend Bernard Badie rerubs BeeKay Deep & Midnight Pulse on Smooth Agent.
Najem Sworb continues to impress me with his "Occupy WS" EP on Metis Recordings. More tunes will be played on the EP on a future show. Our first Guest DJ mix is from Pretoria native Kiyo To. Here's the bio about Kiyo in his own words:
"I'm a producer, vocalist, record label founder and radio Dj (I think music lover sounds better on this one). I started learning the art of mixing and eventually got to production stages with some vocal inserts in all this.
I then decided to venture out with my new found attributes to spread the word about this great thing called deep house. I then started a website where we would host sessions and other relevant links, in time I was invited to feature on several local radio stations either as a guest dj or a featured artist.
I took it further by featuring on international radio stations as a guest Dj and getting several invites to gigs, Kanzen Records is the name
of our record label have a few EP's lined up already. With that exposure came the opportunity to host weekly radio shows, the one is on SSRadiouk and is called Kanzen Times, the second one is on Chill Out Radio and is called Switakuvavisa.
I feature from time local and international guest Dj's to post their mixes either on
my website or on my radio shows and that has made our website a huge portal for deep house mixes."
So there you have it. A very nice mix with a few favorites from George Fitzgerald, Catz N Dogz & Atjazz. Definitely worth checking out...
Enjoy The Music,

In the Top 10, we have Motor City Drum Ensemble's edit of Phillipe Sarde. Maurice Fulton makes it as well under his Boof guise. I:Cube is another producer (like Stefan Goldmann) that has had a slow year but when he does a track like Transpiration, he can easily be forgiven for having quality instead of quantity...

Steve Rachmad's stunning remix of Klartraum's "Unique Shadow" has everything you need in a deep house track with it's snappy kick drums & breathtaking strings in the backdrop.
