NRK Music present...Unreleased Projects NRK has had yet another prolific 12 months in the house scene, and Part One of the Unreleased Projects series yields some great remixes and alternate versions that never made it out first time round. Part One leans towards the soulful house axis of NRK’s output, and leading names such as Kerri Chandler, Miguel Migs and Trackheadz head up this tasty double pack. Featuring Kerri Chandler (pictured) himself on vocals, “The Promise” is everything you want out of a modern day house song; delicate pianos, warm pads, Chandler’s trademark swinging and crunchy beats, and a great melody as Kerri works his way around the keyboard. This “Stripped Down Vocal Mix” marries tender lyrics and a soulful yet melancholic delivery to produce a song a cut above the usual garage fare. Trackheadz “Feel” has been one of those house tracks that has crossed over to the Urban House crowds as well as the traditional deep house heads. NYC’s Mr V (Defected) was first up to remix this, and this no-nonsense Instrumental Remix features gorgeous Rhodes keys, shuffling beats and a melodious analogue bassline. Also featured on this double pack; the original house sound of Chicago courtesy of Ron Carroll’s stomping piano remix of “Pump Dance”, Kaje’s 2006 Remix of Trackheadz deep house anthem “Our Music” and a previously unreleased Alix Alvarez (SOLE Channel) mix of Miguel Mig’s polished “Mesmerized”.

Spotlight on.....DJ Deep   Known as one of the most revered members of the French house scene, DJ Deep has made it his duty to share deep house beats with a growing global audience! As a member of the Respect roster of artists, his Respect is Burning parties and CD series has kept listeners on the pulse of the hot French house scene! DJ Deep started DJing about 12 years ago. At the time House music was definitely an underground movement and the French scene was just starting to develop. Laurent Garnier gave DJ Deep his “first chance” to DJ, first at club Boy in Paris for the Oz parties, then at club Le Palace for the Zoo parties. At the same time, DJ Deep started to host his radio show on radio FG 98.2, everyday from noon to 2 PM. A year after he invited his DJ friends, DJ Gregory and DJ Alex from Tokyo to join him and the show was then named “A Deep Groove” where you could hear everything from Mos Def to Jeff Mills, with a true passion for real deep underground House music. As DJ Deep became a key figure of the Parisian scene he put together “What's Up Mix It” with friends from the label What's up, this compilation featured for the first time together artists such as Dimitri from Paris, DJ Cam, Saint Germain, Gilb'r, and a track of his own “Sweet Summer Vibe”. In 1995 the famous “Wake up” parties were launched by the French Legend Laurent Garnier at the Rex Club featuring prestigious guests such as Lil’ Louis, Derrick May, DJ Pierre, Ron Trent, Chez Damier, etc. DJ Deep was the resident “warm up” Dj. Soon after DJ Deep moved from radio FG to Radio Nova, for his Saturday night shows (this adventure on Nova lasted for about 5 years!) In 1997 “the fire” and “the earth” EP’s came out on French label Basenotic under the moniker The Deep, those 12” were produced by Julien Jabre and DJ Deep receiving great support from the likes of Louie Vega and Joe Claussell... 1997 saw the kick of the “Legends” parties at the Rex Club, promoted by DJ Deep with guests like Frankie Feliciano, Joe Claussell, Kerri Chandler, Tommy Musto, JoVonn, Michael Watford, Nick Jones. At the same time DJ Deep was busy travelling around the globe to keep spreading “deep and soulful House music true to the roots”!!! Distance music released his first mix CD in 1999 “French Sessions”, featuring tracks by Kerri Chandler, Blaze, Ron Trent, Ten City, Joe Claussell, etc. Joining forces with the Respect is Burning team in 2001, the mix CD “Respect to Dj Deep” came out (featuring tracks by Masters At Work, Kerri Chandler, Dino and Terry, etc.), followed up by a worldwide tour... Deep now currently owns & runs two labels, Deeply Rooted House and House Music Records. Check out his releases today, real house music!! DJ Deep mixshows
