Deep Space Orchestra – Memory LP [UOWLP001]

Deep Space Orchestra is Chris Barker and Simon Murray, a pair of mature music lovers who have been DJing and making music for years. When together they conjure up emotive soundscapes full of lithe and rubbery bass, rich synth patterns and authentic real world textures. Never repeating the same trick twice, they conjure up original moods and grooves that don’t rely on trends of the day nor obvious sample pack sounds. ‘Memory’ is a complete piece of work that has been cooked up over the last three years and has largely been born from a collection of gear they bought with a view to starting to play live. As such it finds them experiment with all manner of new sounds and techniques, and the results are triumphant indeed.

Deep Space Orchestra – Hipster Massacre [YCO002]

Deep Space Orchestra return with a double-header of their patented blend of electronic house music. “Hipster Massacre” is the duo’s response to the bland, instagram-obsessed dancefloors of today. Bouncing along on a wave of droning synths, rhythmic vocal snippets and a floor slaying bassline the arrangement takes us through heavy drum machine sections through to sparse dancefloor ecstasy. “Smoking Bunt” goes on a trippy percussive tip, opening with some lush congas and seductive synth stabs before an arpeggiated melody comes rushing in, transporting us to open skies and huge oceanic landscapes.
