Deep House Recommendations July 2009

Review: If house music was part of your life five years ago there's every chance the dusky sounds of Pepe Bradock's "Path Of Most Resistance" lit up your dancefloor. It's a track that's as much a profound A-side on this EP as was "Deep Burnt" from his seminal Burning 12" (invertly that record's B-side). Swimsuit Issue 1789 was the last record Bradock released on Atavisme before issuing four Imbroglios 12"s during 2012 and 2013, and its B-side tracks, as you'd expect from Bradock, provide more top shelf quality. When it comes to basslines in house music "CU @ Minna & Lafayette" is a production that's up there with what Kevin Saunderson (aka Master Reese) can produce, while "Unapologetic Weightlessness" is a confused, ping ponging jumble of zany electronics lightened by the smooth cascade of a floating synth.
