Release Notes:
With a sneak-peek off their upcoming full-length album, breaking new band VELOPHONE, headed by RealDEEP front man Brian (Bjak) Cullen, Janet Cruz & Jono Eiland, gives us an exclusive promotional preview of their single “We’re All The Same”. Composed of lyrics overflowing with emotional depth and melancholy undertones, “We’re All The Same” is a bitter sweet tale of a love unrequited, and the struggles “we all” go through to find the light at the end of the tunnel. With remixes by Cesar Ramirez, DOTS, and Eargasmic Recording’s Daryl Cura, our artists get the chance to tell their own renditions of this timeless tale.

Starting off the EP is the original album version of “We’re All The Same”. This funky, neo-soul flavored tune erupts with fiery, broken-beat rhythms, lush synths & super funky bassline, clavs & wah-guitar, topped off with the sweet lyrics of lead vocalist Janet Cruz. Next up we see our first remix by blossoming RealDEEP Recordings artist Cesar Ramirez. Showcasing Janet’s unique vocal style, Cesar lets the full vocal ride over stomping four-on the floor kicks and high-hats, ridden with classic-house piano riffs and drivingly playful basslines. Complete with great build-ups & breakdowns, this tune is built for the dancefloor. Next up is DOTS heartfelt and personal interpretation of this song which was, literally, written about him! DOTS’ string & synth heavy, shoegazer rendition of this single takes a very unique twist from the original and dares to break free from the obligatory constraints of the typical dance music format. Fusing together a stimulating pallet of electronic textures, DOTS mix is more heavily geared towards furnishing the listener with a greater emotional experience, and his unique examination of this song gives us a strong taste of the culmination of the sound known simply as DOTS. Rounding out the EP is Eargasmic Recordings’ head honcho, Daryl Cura with a super deep slice of Harmonie Park style house. Using snips & bits of the original vocals and synths, Daryl styles a perfect B-Side stomper which highlights a unique shade of the original and sends this EP wheeling over the RealDEEP edge! With a little something for everyone, this VELOPHONE remix project sews another important patch onto our ever-expanding quilt of RealDEEP releases.

“The Forbidden Fruit EP” by Apple Jazz
Release Date: 01/09/2010

— Tracklisting: —
A1. “Endless Hunger”
A2. “A Deep Whole”
B1. “Midnight Prayer”
B2. “Jazz Party”

Release Notes:
After planting the “”Seeds of Life EP” [RDR006], his debut on RealDEEP Recordings, Apple Jazz returns once again to entice us with 4 more smoldering-hot tracks on “The Forbidden Fruit EP” [RDR010]. Tempting you to take your first bite is “Endless Hunger”. Moody, rich organs and a stabbing, wobbly sub-bass drop this tune deep into Detroit beatdown territory with the addition of tribal, dubbed out percussion and shimmering synths. Luring you deeper into the EP is “A Deep Whole”. This track drops in with a thick kick, jacking squared out synth stabs and rolling bass line. Dreamy strings ride over the top and lead the song into a warm, melodic breakdown like only Apple Jazz can devise. Exploring unconventional sounds and stimulating textures, while bringing the EP’s energy up a notch, is “Midnight Prayer”. Swinging, drums and bouncy bass lines are met by gritty and gated, yet intoxicatingly warm, synth lines, reminiscent of the Sonar Kollectiv sound. Loaded with builds-ups and breakdowns, this track is cinematic from beginning to end. Ending our journey through the garden and leaving you with sweet nectar running down your lips is “Jazz Party” a seductively jazzy journey into the house of Apple Jazz. Pensive chord progressions and masterful piano solos display the virtuosity that sets Apple Jazz at the head of the pack. Be prepared for another quality installment of RealDEEP house, because once you’ve tasted The Forbidden Fruit, there’s no turning back!

Release Notes:
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.
