yeah, kyle hall is definitely one to watch, really talented lad, omar s did a promo mix for fabric before his cd came out and it was made up almost entirely of unreleased kyle hall tracks, including a lot more downtempo funk stuff, well worth checking...

yeah shame you can't download that...

marcellus pittman!

it's a real shame this guys output seems to have ground to a halt, cause he made some of my favourite house records.

when did people start saying deep house, i always liked house and have been listening since 89' ( not going to clubs cos i wasn't old enough) but i only started hearing the word deep house being used about 93', was it a reaction to the more mersh house?

It say it on the cover of my copy of Joe Smooth's "Promised Land" what I bought in 88.

Seached in dusty boxes for it, then found somebody had ripped it already. I think I was completely wrong in my description as the compilation is much later than I thought, and rather than being the definition of anything it's just good. In fact I'm not sure that much of it is even deep house, there's a fair amount of disco influenced stuff too... I may have been thinking of something completely different... what the heck, the link's below:

Rah, "When I Fall" is amazing.

yep, 'when i fall' is basically a definition of 'deep house' for me. stone cold classic.

any good places to start with Theo Parrish or Moodymann? i've been sifting through Sound Sculptures the last few days, but maybe i should be trying out some of the singles first?

A few personal faves:

Theo Parrish:

Dance Of The Drunken Drums
You Forgot/Dirt Rhodes
First Floor
Instant Insanity

Moodymann:

Dem Young Sconies
J.A.N
Amerika
I Can't Kick This Feeling When It Hits

Andres, is a sorely underrated producer.

Hes done some really great house stuff along with DJ qu from Underground Quality. He has a new album coming out soon, well worth checkin for!

ach! thanks for pointing me in the direction of that mix, when i fall really is amazing....
been listening to that non stop
you make me feel like is real good too.

can we have more here?

'been really digging the bits of Kerri Chandler (Ben seems to know all of his best tracks... i've sifted through a lot of others that i didn't like nearly as much), Dennis Ferrer, etc. that are creeping up in people's sets lately, so i think i am maybe interested to hear more about stuff that's going on now...

any good mixes to be found with like minded stuff...

i did try out the Rick Wade and Andres albums, but i wasn't feeling too much... really seems like the sort of thing that would be best sought out in mixes/12"s form... is there a good place to catch some of the stuff David M mentioned up thread in the mix? what about Marcellus Pittmann?

gonna try out this Levon Vincent podcast on RA...

straight from the top of my bonce you might ....

check the Osunlade / Yoruba stuff out ...

check the trus me / prime numbers stuff

get that new pepe bradock remixes comp

other more recent stuff worth a deek would be the lovely 10"s on Firecracker Recs ... http://www.discogs.com/label/Firecracker+Recordings

Esp the forthcoming yummy screen printed Dennis Parker sampling monster, Barely Eagle

more info and a lovely deep mix to dl are available here

oh yeah and errr hiya ! sometime reader but never posted owt before

mark e
move d
stl
strategy is a guy who does ambient and more rocky stuff but he has several tracks that are house in the detroit beatdown lineage..."i have to do this thing", "world house"...underrated

STL is wicked, little bits of other people in there but done in his in own style, 'Something Is Raw' is a great tune, as his recent one on Smallville:

Big Mix from Placid - certainly feeling this one over the weekend

Obviously I'm gonna agree about Joe Smooth "Promised Land" being one of the must-haves...all-time classic...

I think Global Communications was a good call too...theres some lovely stuff on that Tom Middleton Sound of the Cosmos triple CD that I'd very much term 'deep house'.

I'll add to the mentions for Larry Heard by saying that I think Harry Dennis (whose name I only finally looked up the other week!) is a brilliant vocalist & anything he touches is solid gold: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Harry+Dennis I guess some of the backing is a little dated, but I still love a lot of that album he did with Heard as The It, & there were some great singles as well. His "Bird In A Gilded cage" with Marshall Jefferson is just beautiful.
