New Jersey DeepThe Black Science Orchestra

The Black Science Orchestra – New Jersey Deep [1994]

Black Science Orchestra, known for distilling disco and rare groove into a distinctly British sound.

Crafted by Ashley Beedle and company, this piece is a deep house track defined by its rich, soothing groove.

The beautiful, floating synth strings evoke the glittering lights of a city night, stirring a mood that’s both a little wistful and romantic.

The track appears on the 1994 release The Altered States EP.

Its sophisticated sound design masterfully reimagines the vibe of the 1976 classic Funkanova.

Whether you’re quietly enjoying a drink alone or sharing a moody moment with someone special, this song can make the atmosphere feel even more extraordinary.

What About This Love? (Extended Version)

Larry Heard is one of the towering, most important figures in Chicago house and deep house.

From a spiritual perspective, he elevated house music to a new level and has continued to create countless masterpieces.

Under his legendary project formed in the ’80s, Mr.

Fingers, he released What About This Love in 1989—an evergreen Chicago deep house classic.

Its flowing, beautiful piano tones, airy synths, and mellow vocals offer a soothing comfort you won’t find in many other tracks.

It’s an indispensable song in the history of deep house and an accessible entry point for newcomers to house music.

Moodymann – JAN

Kenny Dixon Jr.

, better known as Moodymann, primarily produces Detroit techno and Detroit house.

In the mid-1990s, while working at several record shops, he also held a residency as a DJ at Detroit’s Outcast Motorcycle Club.

In 1997, his release on Carl Craig’s label Planet E sparked a surge in popularity in France, leading to a flurry of gigs.

This work, released on his own label KDJ in 2001, is a dark yet somehow warm deep house record.

HallelujahKerri Chandler

Hallelujah

Kerri Chandler, a heavyweight and originator of American deep house.

Active since the 1990s, he continues to exert immense influence on younger generations.

It’s still fresh in our memories that in 2018 he made past tracks—previously released only on vinyl—available as free downloads.

The track I’m introducing today is “Hallelujah,” released in 1996 by an artist who has produced countless hits and classics.

The signature Kerri-style, straight-ahead rhythm track paired with soulful female vocals and an organ sound is unbelievably cool!

New Day (Club Vocal Mix)Round Two feat. Andy Caine

New Day (Club Vocal Mix)

A classic released on the house-classics sublabel of the enduringly popular dub techno imprint Basic Channel.

Following their hit “ROUND ONE,” the duo of Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald featured soul singer Andy Caine.

The engineering is superb as well—an immortal deep house track.

FadeSolu Music feat. Kimblee

Solu Music feat. Kimblee – Fade (Original Mix)

If you’re familiar with the House Nation label project that Avex pushed in the 2000s, you’ve probably heard this track—but most likely the glitzy remixed version.

I remember that version being the one more widely distributed in Japan.

This is the original mix, and you could say it helped lay the groundwork for the kind of glamorous, female-friendly house championed by UK labels like Hed Kandi.

A truly musical deep house classic.
