"A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free"

Been into 'deephouse' since decades. Followed the whole 'house' scene since its very blossoming in the late 80s. Got thousands of house records stored inside my mind, especially the ones with lavish synthesizer soundscapes.

Tom Conrad feat. Jaidene Veda - "The One (Andre Bonsor Jazz Edit)" (2011):

Schmoov! - "Destination" (2001):

St Germain - "Rose Rouge (Atjazz Galaxy Aart Remix)" (2020):

Awesome. About time someone around here appreciates a good genre!

If you're talking about going far back to the origins, I guess you'd have to be talking about the Chicago scene.

Yup, I remember the Chicago scene that actually started it all. Subsequently lots of house subgenres materialized ranging from soft to hard.

On the softer side of the 'house' spectrum I have also a soft spot for warm tunes emanating from Italy in the early 90s. This style was dubbed "mellow house music" back then because of its lush smoothness. Hard to believe that three decades have lapsed ever since. Tempus fugit....

Don Carlos - "Alone (Paradise)" (the Italian DJ Carlo Troja, not to be confused with the "Don Carlos" reggae musician):

Korda - "Move Your Body (to The Sound) (Club Mix)":

Love Quartet - "Kiss Me (Don't Be Afraid)":

Cool. Yeah many many subgenres to be sure. Progressive and Deep is my jam right now.

Possibly way too hard and repetitive to stomach for those not acquainted with deephouse, but I can enjoy it to bits - it's hallmark deephouse:

Mood II Swing - "Driving Me Crazy":

Powder Productions - "Chile Sauce '99":

Nuyorican Soul - "The Nervous Track":

This is veering off a bit because I was thinking about some of my favorites artists in the 90s and I'd have to say BT was one of them at the top of the list. This is when nu skool breaks came out and this was one of my favorite tracks. He was gifted and introduced new styles and a true pioneer.

I had a Japanese release of his album "Movement in Still Life" which I listened to over and over. What a killer album it was (and still is).

Oh and THIS. Another great one.

From Brian Transeau I recall the remixes of "Relativity" by Carl Craig ("Carl Craig's Urban Affair Dub Mix") and Deep Dish ("The Deep Dish Remix"). Brings back memories from the early 90s club days. Savage when blasted through powerful speakers in a club.

As most over here prefer more mainstream music, that's it for underground 'house music' for a couple of days for me now.

[TiMSport]

Haha, yeah. They're just missing out.

[TiMSport]

Inspirational.

Versatility: from deephouse to jazz.

The young Bill Evans oozing with immeasurable musical talent in June 1961, accompanied by Scott LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums. Jazz excellence.

Little did they know back then that a couple of days later LaFaro would tragically die in a car accident, at the age of 25 (1961). A brilliant career cut short (also Miles Davis had expressed interest in hiring LaFaro). Evans, and more generally the jazz community, was devastated by the loss. Many Evans trios followed, but none was as magical as the Evans-LaFaro-Motian trio. Evans died in 1980 at the age of 51 (unfortunately worn out by decades of substance abuse). Motian died in 2011 at the respectable age of 80.
