Cover art - Jonas Kopp: Reforce

For the 40th release, Deeply Rooted House welcomes Argentina’s own Jonas Kopp. This 4 tracks ep gives a good example of his diverse and still very defined techno recording skills. A side goes from the very straight forward and somehow mental ‘Reforce’ to the deep and abstract journey of ‘Proteus 81’, while B side kicks of with the somehow balearic and positive ‘Green fingers’ to end up with the quest of ‘Light’!

Bleak – Disfunktion EP [DRH039]

Cover art - Bleak: Disfunktion EP

The second Bleak release on Deeply Rooted House. DJ Deep: “I have been very impressed with Bleak’s talent and how he can combine different styles of techno and still produce very personal music. Each track, in my opinion, has a life of it’s own, it starts in a certain way, and takes you to different places. The arrangements are very subtle, sometimes hypnotic, very intense and emotional, the way the drums evolve and drive the tracks, or how deep chords apear in the back ground taking the track to a differrent territory etc. I hope you’ll like this 12” as much as I do!’

Deeply Rooted House presents a nice piece of wax with 2 great tracks produced around 1994-1997  (recently discovered on DAT tapes), and 2 solid 2011 remixes. Rootstrax comes with an excellent mix that is an emotional deep take that really captures the emotion of the original and brings it to a much more mature and deep territory. The Marcelus mix gives us a much more radical, uncompromising Techno interepretation.

Expertly crafted DJ tools from a new French producer, the serious debut ‘EP1’ by Marcelus. The A-side confidently straddles that boundary between deepest Techno and House music with the pulsing, hypnotic propulsion of ‘Perception’ and  ‘Friction’. The B-side goes more House wise with the sublime square bass churn of ‘Utopia’ and the squashed aquatic Dub House of ‘Phenomena’.
