Deep House

Classic mixes and more

vault

People are always asking where are my classic mixes from the early 2000's. The reason I don't keep everything here is mainly because of space and bandwidth but now you can find them on the new WCC site. We have completely revamp our site for 2010. You have to check it out. Big up to Kevin for doing this. Here is the description from the WCC site for The Vault:

As we’re doing a bit of 2010 ‘house’ cleaning to the website in order to make it a bit more fan-friendly, we certainly couldn’t remove ALL the mixes we’ve done over the past 10 years.  So for a limited time, we’ve decided to create “The WCC Vault” of classic mixes.
Here you can find a range of mixes from house, to downtempo, to funk, soul, and all around amazing music that we’ve put together over our journey through the past 10 years.  Hope you enjoy and certainly feel free to pass these along to all that might enjoy.

New mix "FALLING"

This is one of those mixes that just came about cause I was in the mood. It is not my most "underground" mix but I think it's pretty uplifting. To be honest I did this just for myself to try to cheer me up as music has that healing power sometimes.

With tracks from Miguel Migs, Lisa Shaw, Tortured Soul, Blaze, and Samantha James, among others, you can see the direction and the sound of it. The title could mean a lot of things but don't read too much into it. House music is about positivity and love and we all need a little bit of that in our lives sometimes. We are not perfect creatures but we have to try to do the right thing as hard as that is sometimes. You will find this one in the current mixes page. I hope you like it.

City Sonar Vol 3 is here

So who likes Deep House? Well, it seems like a lot of you because people can't seem to get enough of the City Sonar series. This was never intended to be a series but because of the great feedback it got I did a vol 2. Now vol 3 is here and it's pretty clear where the trend is going... as long as you guys dig it there will be more of City Sonar. This one has some nice old and new skool deep cuts. I think it might the deeper one of all the sets so far. It's very dubby with not too many vocals. I always try not to alienate people too much by going too underground with my mixes but since this series is really meant for the heads it doesn't matter. WCC Radio takes care of the cross over House and City Sonar just takes you deeper into that journey. I hope you enjoy the latest installment of this Deep House series. Please let me know what you think of it by leaving me a comment and rating it on the mixes page.

City Sonar Vol 2 now available

I really didn't think I was going to make a regular series out of the last City Sonar but it seems there is a lot of Deep House fans out there who want more. So ladies and gentlemen the City Sonar series is officially a ... series. Vol 2 is now available for download in the current mixes page.

WCC Radio is not so much Deep even if I throw in a Deep House tune from time to time. I felt I have slowly gotten away from it over the years. That style is really how I started playing house music all those years ago. Also my first mixes online (in 2000!) were Deep House. They were hosted on the Deep House Networks and I know that some of you have those even if you can't find them online anymore. I'm glad there are still kats out there who are enjoying good Deep House. It seems the new generation of kids who are into house music like the harder (dare I say Electro) tunes when they go out and the Soulful and Deeper stuff is being played less and less in the clubs. It's sad but it might not be a bad thing. If anything those two styles will be pushed underground again and they will find their roots and come back even stronger. I for one am looking forward to that.

I hope you enjoy Vol 2 od City Sonar. I think this one is deeper than the last one. New and classic deep house tracks (some that I even played on vinyl). One notable mention is the Makam remix of the track Attica on Freerange. Wholly poop that track is incredible. It reminds me of the great Deep House from the late 90s and early 2000. Makam kills it as it goes from Deep to Funky and then back again. Like the boys at Stompy say it's the talk of the town. Keep it Deep!!

New Studio Mix - CITY SONAR

City_Sonar_angle_big

It's been a while since I've done a mix that is not a radio show. Doing WCC Radio once a month doesn't give me too much time to do other regular sets. The last one, Happy Hour on the West Coast, was done in December of last year. I decided this time to keep it strictly Deep and underground to differentiate it from the radio show. Ladies and gentlemen I give you CITY SONAR - vol. 1. This is a really moody late night set with a pinch of soul on two or three cuts. The majority of the tracks are just head bopping deep tunes with some live edit acapellas layered in. I hope you dig it and find it different. Don't forget to rate it and let me know if you like it cause I'll do more. I want to make a series of Deep sets - that's why this is volume 1. Download as an indexed ACC or regular mp3 on the Current Mixes page.
