Deep House Archives Vol. 13 - Groove Kitty Uno.

Greetings,

The last DHA mix for 2007 moves in a rather festive mood, for many reasons.

2007 was the year of DHA revival through this blog site and the editors of DHA are very pleased from the overwhelming feedback from all DHA fans, the same feedback that kept us going since 1999 when DHA first started. Downloaded by thousands (and streamed by even more) listeners, the DHA mixes/podcasts will continue stronger than ever, and hopefully, starting with 2008, we'll start posting new and old mixes from Steve.

This DHA mix also celebrates the birth of "Groove Kitty" nights, a new series of nights in Los Angeles, hosted by our own Theo Zanos and Christos K (Kapa Music, djceekay.com). Groove Kitty outlines an entire philosophy in nightlife, inspired by the club and bar culture in cities like London, New York, Milan, Athens, Barcelona, Cape Town. Soulful, glam, classy, refined, eclectic, chic, sophisticated, while retaining an underground feel. A night to educate the uninitiated and delight the discerning. Groove Kitty Uno, mixed by Theo Zanos, features cutting edge deep house and sets the tone for what we hope to become a new underground trend in LA nightlife.

Finally we'd like to extend our wishes to all our listeners for happy Christmas vacations and a wonderful new year.

Deep House Archives Vol. 12 - Disco Demolition Night

Greetings,

We conclude the revival of the old DHA mixes from Theo Zanos with Disco Demolition Night. Here's the description of the set, as featured in the first Deep House Archives website in January of 2003.

Disco Demolition Night, held at 1979 was maybe the biggest backlash in the history of Disco. Local radio DJ Steve Dahl (Loop FM) organized this anti-disco rally at Comiskey Park in Chicago, which eventually turned into a riot, portraying racial prejudice against black music in general.

This issue of DHA will try to bring back the elements of Disco that made this style of music an underground musical phenomenon and the biggest influence in contemporary dance music. Tracks that escape the mainstream "Saturday Night Fever" disco, it's mostly intensive, massive Disco grooves of anthemic proportions, many of them big hits in underground clubs like Paradise Garage, NY and Warehouse, Chicago, and played from pioneering DJs like Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles and David Mancuso.

Deep House Archives Vol. 10 - The Reverberated Note

Greetings,

After many requests from our listeners, we bring back one of the most popular DHA mixes, The Reverberated Note, mixed by Theo Zanos at Thessaloniki almost 6 years ago (October 2001). As it was described at that time: Selected house cuts which do not fall into a single category: this is a short excursion into the different perspectives on contemporary underground house, showcasing the extend to which traditional dance music styles, like dub, jazz and soul have been incorporated into modern house and techno. In any case, this is interesting dance music, from a number of different countries and different "schools" within house, mixed with the dancefloor in mind.

Deep House Archives Vol. 6 - Sound Forms & Colors

Greetings,

Continuing the reviving of old mixes from the first Deep House Archives website, we offer "Sound, Forms & Colors" by Theo Z. This time instead of a blunt description of the mix, we'll repost the description of the set, back in may of 2001 (oddly enough it also holds today).

During the last years we have all witnessed a vast growth of the 'deep house' scene; releases, producers & djs have proliferated at a hard-to-follow rate. This overproduction frenzy may seem to many like a trench knife, since enough of the 'deep stuff' that comes out today lacks soul and originality. Nevertheless, certain producers and labels still push back the boundaries of this style of music and keep the deep vibe alive. This month's mix focuses on releases that have made a statement towards this direction; swinging between tough beats and mellow chords, and moving from uplifting to moody melodies, the last issue of DHA works well on the Saturday late-night crowd...and provides a nice background for the Sunday coffee talk.

Don't forget that you can also join the deep house archives mailing list to receive alerts about updates.

Here's the tracklisting for the mix

oneiro – shhh!!! (circles and circles of sorrow) (intro) - classic
nigel hayes - ode to odyssey - sunshine
rom - ibis vermelho (ernest saint laurent’s frisco mix) - rythmix
big muff - pornstar (dozia & king’s deep dub) - razor & tie
st germain - rose rouge (blaze early shelter mix) - blue note
alex gopher - the child (kenny dope bonus mix) - solid
detox twins - love shared (rob’s no ears dub) - music for freaks
night source - rise above - naked music
yann fontaine - open your eyes (new phunk theory mix) - low pressings
timewriter - here comes the sun - plastic city
g-pal - more than beautiful - plastic city
nick holder - love ‘em leave ‘em - nrk
taxi - people come runnin (needs remix) - infracom
roy davis jr - michael (love from san francisco mix) - nuphonic
