Greetings,

DHA returns with a brand new mixed set, L'Art De La Répétition. Mixed by Theo Zanos, this new volume of DHA is an excursion into the golden age of French disco house, during the period of '95 to early '00s. Escaping from club monsters and mainstream house tracks, the set explores the underground French house scene that dominated the house community at the time and rediscovers the many shades of repetitive drum rolls, funky loops and filter distortions.

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.
