ltd quantities

vol. 2!

excellent deep house edits

soul print recordings is proud to present their first ever vinyl release. 4 excellent deep tracks pressed on a slice of 12inch black gold which features tracks by fil lavin & djp, petkovski & akioki and reworks by the mighty deep space orchestra and liverpool based andy ash.

a return to vr from ben sun, who delves into deeper territory on the original cut, emotive analogue synths washing over a roland drum groove and a swirling female vocal, all underpinned by a warm, rumbling bassline. the flipside features some heavyweight remix work from the prolific deep space orchestra (use of weapons, art, delusions of grandeur) and label mate tyson ballard teaming up with vincenzo (poker flat, dessous). vincenzo and ballards mix is a heavy hitting, moody take on the original, with subtle, dark strings and a growling, evolving bassline, while dso round off the release with trademark fat drums and soaring melodic synth work.

clear vinyl

90s flavoured rave bangers from neida on the first nehza records release.

deep space orchestras use of weapons label has always been a reliable source of analogue-heavy left of centre deep house, with each split ep, featuring tracks from a variety of like-minded producers, featuring a range of must-have nuggets. this expansive sixth release, with eight tracks spread across two slabs of wax, is no different. dso s beautiful and surprisingly fragile -mendoza- leads the way, with 7 citizens calming, alien house groover -fatum- close behind. arguably best of all, though, is other worlds -coldname eld-, a sparse and bassy concoction blessed with some brilliant, head high style pianos. it is, though, all good, with further impressive contributions from the detroit-included haku.

theres no need to do a big introduction of deep space orchestra. si murray and chris barker have releases on a number of heavyweight labels (e.g. delusions of grandeur or use of weapons) and regular guest appearances at club nights and radio shows throughout the uk and rest of the world. their second ep for quintessentials is some raw and analogue business topped with the dso funk! wolf music hot shot krl adds some piano and old school power on his remix and we must admit were delighted!

the >inside out< ep is a solid package featuring quality tunes from start to finish. midnight runner is a heavy plunge into deepest underwater techno, which drives fearlessly forward through a storm of ride cymbals. on the inside hovers and builds on a single chord, until breaking deliciously into a slinky deep house groove with a plonky bassline leading the way. on the b-side, the revenge pass by to deliver the >memory warehouse< remix of >on the inside< - a simple and decisive slice of deep dark rave, with all the hot production values we love to hear from the revenge. moonrunners, finally, is an organic and musical collection of neatly packed rhodes keys, piano splashes, trumpets and intense bass notes, and wraps up the package in style. another great ep for dso - and a solid return for winding road records
