Deep88 8 Tracks: Bargain Basement Belters

Joining the dots between the classic sounds of house with an ear open to the future, Deep88 aka Alessandro Pasini has produced a distinguished discography on his 12 Records stable with his hardware house odysseys basking in depth and warmth. Whether it’s the dripping-deep majesty of his solo productions, collaborations with kindred spirit Melchior Sultana, introducing other Italian virtuosos such as Jacy and Mike Lee via his ‘House Of 12’ series or commissioning remixes from the house hierarchy such as Dream 2 Science, every Deep88 12” is buy-on-sight and can be found in every discernible DJ’s bag. His latest 12” is the remix package of ‘Believe In You’ featuring house orator Robert Owens with Jacques Renault, Abyssy and Melchior Sultana on remix duties – you can now cop at record behemoth Juno and will be touching down in all other choice record joints soon… OK so we’ll handover to Deep88 for his 8 Tracks that are all bargain basement belters… So this is my list, you can call it a “cheap porno” records list as it means these are really, really cheap records due the fact that they were quite popular “underground” successes so a lot of press and licensing all over the world. So nothing impossible to find or rare or press in 100 limited copies, but just amazing tracks, and this is what it matters!
(on parenthesis the actual lower price on discogs at end of april 2015 in £ and €)
As well as his production nous, Deep88 is also a superior selector (check out his this recent set in Amsterdam )
and will be spinnin’ in Berlin next month at Organic Grooves’ House Party so if you’re in town check him out – event details here
This is a clear example of an early easy going house track with an eye to pop music… Some people hate this combo but I think it’s one of the hardest things to produce, because the risk is that it can effectively go too cheesy… So the border line is perfect with this production capturing that perfectly.
