“UBIZO – The Calling” by Black Jazz [RDR015]
Official Release Date: 08/26/2010 *** AVAILABLE SOON ***

Tracklisting:
A1. “City Streets”
A2. “My Version”
B1. “Moon Face”
B2. “Patience”
B2. “Extraordinary Sense”

Release Notes:

With a worthy collection of solo projects already topping the RealDEEP charts under their monikers Apple Jazz & Arnold Tempo , this South African posse has now united under the placard of Black Jazz to bring us a blazing new 5-track EP entitled “UBIZO – The Calling” [RDR015].

Like a fog horn cutting through a gray gloom of ordinariness comes “City Streets”. Stabbing synths and sultry vocals snips meet murky bass-lines and swinging beats, capturing the deep house of yesteryear and reminiscent of early Prescription. Pacing the tempo and warming the vibe is “My Version”. Rich chords are underscored by a deep, resonant bass-line, riding fleecy strings & dubby vocals. Riding the heels of this groove into even sweeter & sexier territory is another beautiful tune entitled “Moon Face”. Like the clear, twinkling of moonlight on a pensive, starlit night, “Moon Face” brightens the spirits. Pensive keys and haunting female vocals are paced by gridded beats & plunky percussion, lifted even higher by swirling synths and bright leads. Clearing the hump and dropping even deeper is “Patience”, a Larry Heard-esque orchestrated masterpiece of soundscapes and rhythms. Cinematic yet soulful. Lifting us out of the depths and recharging the speakers is “Extraordinary Sense”. Clean, driving beats and hovering tones keep your mind locked in full REM while sentenced synth stabs and spoken word preach their message. Black Jazz presents “UBIZO – The Calling”.

“Microscopic EP” by re:search [RDR014]
Official Release Date: 06/23/2010 ***NOW AVAILABLE***

Tracklisting:
A1. “Resonance”
A2. “Document 57″
B1. “Morphine”
B2. “8 e’s Dance Party”

Release Notes:

After phenomenal response on his first RealDEEP single entitled “On My Own” off the “Amuse Bouche EP – Vol.1″ [RDR012], emerging artist Don Clark aka re:search returns to supply us with a closer examination of his work with his first, full-length, RealDEEP release entitled “Microscopic EP” [RDR014]. His first specimen, “Resonance”, takes us deep inside the re:search sound, revealing the warm organic vibes of yester-year with a clean & technical edginess of today that should impress any discerning deep house enthusiast. Switching our scope to a higher magnification, we uncover “Document 57″. Striking synth chord progressions are mellowed by glistening bells, spaced-out horn stabs and snippy vocals making this tune a beautiful edition to those warm and breezy summer night DJ sets. Next up on slide 3 is a sample of “Morphine”. A new study suggests that the effects of “Morphine” reportedly produce intense feeling of euphoria and bliss, especially when experienced on the dance-floor after midnight. Side effects may include auditory hallucinations and loss of muscular control resulting in uncontrollable body jacking! And last but not least, re:search reveals a bit of the architecture behind his sound with “8 e’s Dance Party”. Watch your ribs, because elbows are bound to fly when re:search brings back the sounds of the basement with this full on jack beat inspired cut, chock full of rolling bass lines and tweaky, acid-esque synths. So you think you know all there is to know about Deep House, but have you done your re:search?

This newcomer out of South Africa, known as Apple Jazz, jumps headfirst into the Deep House scene w/ his premier release on RealDEEP Recordings entitled the “Seeds of Life EP”. This blistering 3 track EP is oozing w/ the forgotten magic of early 90’s deep house, proving once again that house music is a feeling unbounded by space and time. Headed straight for the dance-floor is “More Than Just a Feeling”. From the minimal, swinging drums to the stabbing synths and soulful vocals, this tune is sure to become a classic! Stoking this Ep even hotter is “Living In Paradice”. This instrumental gem plugs right into the RealDEEP socket, working spacey synth lines w/ blue-note piano riffs, creating a masterpiece of deep house. Bubbling up from the deepest corners of your soul is “Sweet Taste of Champayne”. This track further showcases Apple Jazz’s skills on the keys, wisely and poetically laying each verse. Perfect for fall, the “Seeds of Life Ep” invokes the spirit and memories from deep house of yesteryear. This is the kind of music that makes you wish you had a time machine…and now you do!

“Little House Of Horrors EP : Part 2″ [RDR007-2] coming Friday the 13th, November exclusively @ JunoDownload. Stay tuned for more blood curdling mayhem!

As promised, Bjak & Julio Bishop are back for round 2 of more heart-pounding, bass thumping, thrills & chills with the “Little House Of Horrors EP – Part 2″. ‘Side A’ revisits “Konfession Of A Dirty Mind” with a re-touched and dubbed out version of the original. With the addition of a warm analog bass line and screaming electric guitar, this mix is built to beat the dance-floor. ‘Side B’ brings another fresh & experimental sound to the plate with “Damaged”, a slow, gritty, indie-ustrial jam flexing distorted guitar riffs and ripping synthesizers. Definitely a throwback to our childhood and the darker side of dance-music. Helping to set the stage for a new breed of RealDEEP tunes, Part 2 of the “Little House Of Horrors EP” continues to expand our sonic envelope into new and unexpected territory.

Harnessing rich, deep house vibes in a way that only a native Chicagoan can, Cesar Ramirez brings us “The Rememberance EP” [RDR009], his debut release on RealDEEP Recordings. Every song on this must-have, 4 track Ep reaches deep into your memory banks to remind you why you love deep house music!

This scorcher of an EP hits 0-120bpm in one second flat with “MFFM” (Music Forever, Forever Music), an uplifting and moody track soaked in lush chords, driving basslines and a flute riff proven to call all deep heads to attention. Bringing up the pace a bit is another tasty treat entitled “Sweet Tooth”. Simmered with stabbing synths & bass-lines and glazed with spicy congas & keyboard riffs, this track will sugarcoat any dancefloor. Inspired by his life-long love of music, Cesar brings us “Lifetime”. Swelling strings and and ghostly organs impregnate this body-mover with an epic message of life, love & music. Finishing off the Ep in style is “Downside”. Pumpy drums and charging synths are soothed by pensive strings and dubby key riffs, making this the perfect B-side, chill-out track.

Like a trip down memory lane, “The Rememberance EP” returns us to a forgotten and cherished place where house music remains RealDEEP.
