2013-05-19T18:25:41Z

We have a super dope guest from London, UK in town this coming weekend for LATE & DEEP #29. Click the image to see the event page!
Some new mixes by the crew and beyond, including a new one from upcoming LATE & DEEP headliner Owen Howells (UK), who will be playing next weekend for Late & Deep #29. I am super stoked to have Owen up for a few days and get some music in the lab if we are lucky, or not too hungover. Posting his mix for Pulse Radio, which he has uploaded along with the Hermans recent Fiendkast Mix.

I also am including a new mix I did recently for Switzerland's Kartel Klub podcast series, which can be downloaded and heard on iTunes as well as soundcloud. Speaking of which, I am throwing in mix by Kartel Klub member & Files Records boss Krizzli, with whom I have produced some music recently. Finally, I am going to share a mix by Creme Organization regular Neville Watson, and make sure you check out this teaser of his brand new LP for the label called "Songs to Elevate Pure Hearts" which just came out on soundcloud a couple weeks ago and is available for preorder.

I hope everyone is enjoying the wonderful weather here in Toronto on this long May weekend. I know I am!! See you on the dancefloor ya filthy animals!

2 Samples of Upcoming Originals by Sean Roman & Dick Diamonds on Molotov21

New Release forthcoming from Sean Roman & Dick Diamonds on Brazilian up and coming label Molotov21 out of Rio de Janeiro. The label is owned by Toucan member Bernardo Campos and Pedro Mezzonato, and boasts a pretty strong lineup which includes releases by sick artists such as Beep Dee, S.K.A.M., Diego Moreno, Rockerr (Ricardo Estrella), Nytron, Matt Fear, Adam Banks, Allan Villar (Pimp$hit) and others.

This will be Sean's second EP for the label, his first being the highly successful Staring EP. Molotov has put out a lot of fire in the past year, and their label has risen to become one of Brazils premier forces in its growing house and techno market. We are super stoked to be working with our friends over at Molotov.

We are even more excited that we have two unbelievable remixers on this EP doing their own personal take of the releases title track Collect Call. BUBBA (Runnin Wild, Hot Creations) and his production partner T-BONE (Extended Play, aka Timmy Steward of Jet Project) each did a remix of one of our favorite productions to date. It is an absolute honour to have these two amazing artists and good friends of ours included on this EP. There is some more info on the release and media below. We hope you dig this one, we loved doing it.

SEAN ROMAN, DICK DIAMONDS - COLLECT CALL EP

2. On The Lam (Original Mix)
3. Collect Call (Bubba's Rewerk)

This Friday, The Deep North has got something super special planned for all you house heads out there. We're bringing together four deep house/techno players in the game to do things right for our 27th Late & Deep spectacular, at an all new location. The venue is two floors and has just revamped its soundsytem. This sounds like an equation for a serious party shindig. So, all you dance fiends out there, get prepared, it's a short work week and then the jam goes down Friday night. If you're not already anticipating it, listen to some of these mixes from our headliners to test the waters. Then, you'll know what's in store for you. The mixes speak for themselves.

Up first is a tasty treat from Throne Of Blood co-owner James Friedman:

Follow that up with an exclusive mix that Toronto's proud to be own Basic Soul Unit did for us:

And top it off with this beauty from Populette:

That should be enough to tide you over until the big night. So, now I'm sure I'll see all of you out Friday night supporting the Toronto good music scene.

Here's how to get in the know: Event Link

Peace,

Rhobot Jones

Deep North outnumbered by some dirty Creme Org

Just dropping in to share some super greased out mixes here from Deep North Crew member Bones McLeod and three other favorites of mine from the undoubtably dope Creme Organization imprint. Old and new mixes in this creamy sack of beautiful bangers, but one thing I can say is that all are mixes which I think are pretty hype, whether old or new - - especially the latest from DJ TLR, which is nothing short of a volley of muscle mashing dance missiles. Time is tough to come by these days since I developed a nasty addiction for production, but the blog is never forgotten. Get your listening caps on because these firebombs are about to melt your face off - - in a good fucking way. In other words, think fast, dont blink!

Bones McLeod - March 2013 Mix >>> Download

Neville Watson - Bodytonic Podcast March 2012 >>>> Download

While Neville hasnt really posted much in terms of mixes on his soundcloud for a minute, check out this recently added preview of a fresh remix EP he has over at Teng Rec. Word is he also has a release coming from top-tier label Creme Organization, which I cannot wait to hear. This is one of my top picks for future artists I want to being out to Toronto... so keep your eyes peeled.

Neville Watson - One For Green Remixes

Next up is the one and only weirdo Willie Burns, also from the Creme Roster, who recently took part in the L.I.E.S. takeover of Boiler Room. Check out this set, and then taste the zesty tatziki he has forthcoming on Creme Organization.

Philip James de Vries: More Than Meets The Eye
Philip James de Vries is a low-key cat. In fact, until about a month ago I just thought he was the Studiofeed.com radio guy, because he was always there to make sure our random Deep North Radio show was recorded much better than I could ever hope to play. He does a great job with that, often making us look way better than we deserve, and puts together a tight audio/video production. Phil is also a model for the rest of us lazy bastards, often passively teaching guys like me how much better it looks when you are punctual, professional and mysterious.

I previously spent hours wondering who the hell this guy was - - despite the obvious fact that I could have just asked - - and I quite enjoyed not knowing. I thought he must be, at the least, some audio/visual nerd (like everyone who knows how to do things I can't) or perhaps a mad scientist brewing up ideas for the exciting Subpac Project that was happening behind the scenes over at Studiofeed. He probably is both of those, but finally after millions of guesses, I found out something concrete. Some of my hypothesizing finally came to an end when I found out he is an electronic music producer. I might add that he is a damn good one too. To be honest, I still don't know much about Phil and will be asking a lot more questions now. I feel stupid for not knowing earlier, but I also feel that he could turn out to be someone a lot more dangerous. I need to be prepared, my expectations seem to be way off.

Philip James de Vries - Mini Mix for Helioscope Radio (Feb 2013)

Philip is a great fucking dude, and the same can be said about his unique take on music. Having only released his first tunes in 2012, he already has an impressive string of releases on notable labels including the German titan Traum, as well as others on Fever and Canadian based Wide Angle Recordings.

Philip James de Vries - Variations EP (Teasers) >>> [BUY IT]

Check out Phil. Also check out his music. His tunes are different, and that is going to get him places. Largely emotional and melodic, this guy makes tunes that will make you fucking happy and sad, as well as lovesick for times past. Check his work out for yourselves, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Phil, you sneaky little bastard.... this is some good shit.

T-BONE @ DEEP NORTH RADIO #7

2013-02-17T08:04:00Z

DEEP NORTH RADIO EPISODE #7 feat. T-BONE (UK)

For the seventh episode of Deep North Radio, the crew shift gears from an all-female episode #6 to an all-male line up of DJs consisting of special guest & international homeboy T-Bone (Extended Play, Jet Project) who came to Canada via the Deep North to play LATE & DEEP - - which he murdered - - as well as our FAMILY MATTERS event Today.

Trading off half-hour long mixes, the guys dip into the house flavours that are common at many of the Deep North’s events (including a new track "Evacuation Jam" which was the last song dropped by Dick Diamonds, a collaborative effort by him and Maxwell Church, aka the Hermans) as well as a few more techno-tinged tunes.

Extended Play label owner T-Bone gets things going first, trading off his slot to EXTD PLY labelmate Dick Diamonds who is then succeeded by Mike Davis.

Download this always-quality mix of house and techno from the Deep North via the Soundcloud player below, or check out the archived video from their live stream of this episode in the video player above.

T-BONE (UK) and Residents MIKE DAVIS (Berlin) & DICK DIAMONDS (Toronto) @ DNRadio #7.
