Soul Deep Digital
Review: Exclusive to Juno comes long time liquid promoter Chris Sabian with a bright and breezy look at some of his fresh new offerings. Judging by the zingy-tingliness of "Aurora"'s high-flying synths and the crisp pop of that percussion, he's been perfecting this track for some time. It's a work of art. "Memories" rolls out some deep n' dark bass for those after something a little darker. Perfect stuff.

Review: Ah, la drum and bass Parisienne. C'est tres sophistique. "Funk Mirror" is the type of rolling track that takes you back to your early days of drum and bass, whenever they were. Taking flavours of the old school as well as the choice years of 2007 through 2011 (such good years for fresh rollers wouldn't you agree?) it's a perfect tune no matter your 170bpm persuasion. "Lonely Dream" rounds us off with vocals lifted from a Fleetwood Mac classic and light and airy piano hooks. Perfect road trip sounds.

Review: Greece representing: dBase lays down two pearly rollers on Soul Deep. "High Above The Sea" is a well-measured, spacious liquid gem with yearning synth lines, rippling chords and just the right amount of nylon string guitar. "American Dream" is slightly darker in its intention. Less lavish chords and silkiness, more heads-down bass focus, rolling breaks and polished synth textures. The perfect combination.

Review: Goldfat daddy Mitekiss springs back to Soul Deep for a one-track special; "Autumn" sees the London producer paint a foggy tableaux of the season by fusing lonely pianos, smoky trumpets and cleverly looped vocal samples that overlap to help give the rhythm momentum. M Church jumps in on the remix, applying a more direct drum energy and thicker late night feel. Wrap up warm.

Review: Magic carpet D&B: Woodtekr brings the feels with the floaty, cloud surfing "You Bring Out The Best In Me". Awash in airy pads, breathy vocal textures and sweet melodic elements, both the original and Actraiser's amen-addled remix are ideal for headphones and dancefloors alike. Elsewhere "Going The Distance" rolls with understated emotion and subtle elements in a way that's not dissimilar to Etherwood's early output and "Something New", a pristine jazz stepper that wouldn't go amiss in the sets of DJs like Paul SG or Flowrian. Neat.

Review: Emerging London junglist Dave Catalyst makes his Soul Deep debut with four slinky, spacious, double bass slapping rollers. "Summer Haze" has such a low swung, dusty, sun-baked feel there's almost a western quality to it while "Rhode Island" maintains the fretless bass signature but with added soulful chords and rushy, piano-primed atmospheres. "Sanctuary" dips deeper into liquid territory, switching the double bass for bulbous subs and big breeze pads a la Goodlooking circa 20 years ago while "Every Little Thing" closes the show with filtered waves of honeyed jazz samples and rich warm feels similar to those of early Jazzsticks or Innamind releases. Hazy.

Review: With an impressive repertoire building on Liquid Brilliants, Russian CNOF takes a trip to the US for a pert doublet Soul Deep. "Tell Me You Love Me" hits with classic sample craft. Simple but ravishingly effective with its stark strings and harmonic echoes, this could have been released any time since 2000 and slapped dancefloors silly. "Night Miracles" takes us deeper into the night with a texture that sounds like a super-stretched out Hall & Oats laid down gracefully over skippy, rave-tweaked breakbeats.

Review: Fresh from his adventures on Soul Deep's Unsung Heroes series, London-upstart Monument Banks delivers his debut EP. Five tracks deep, it showcases MB's silkiest skills; both "Badlands" and "Don't Look Down" are built up around a startling piano hook and breathy vocals, "Take Me Back" whisks us off to jazz town with wafting horns and boogie-minded keys, "Trenchtown" soundtracks the sweetest dreams you've had all year while "All Good" provides the supreme soulful slapdown all EPs should end with.

Review: Following his label debut earlier this year, Athens-based Greeky returns to Soul Deep with four more blisteringly fresh originals. He's brought a mate along for the ride too as Simpa helps him carve another liquid document with fluttering instrumental elements and syrupy groove. Deeper into the EP we're bombarded by classic 97 style cosmic rolls ("Come On"), we're fired into the cosmos with the subtle, starry-eyed roller ("Deep Space") and, for good measure, we're hurled into turbulent jungle high seas where chaotic drums and soaring pads chop wildly and woozily ("Help Me"). A very accomplished lesson in timelessness.

Review: Emerging earlier this year on Blu Saphire, Swiss soundboy Liquid Waves makes his boldest entry move yet on Soul Deep. As his name suggests, he's all about the classic rolling soulful sound. Entrenched in jazzy samples, strings and delicate piano flurries, each cut sparkles with sunny-side soul in a manner that you may have expected to hear on Hospital 15 years ago or Marky dropping during a day time festival set. Highlights include the lounge-lapping piano-focused, classic break-driven "Second Thought" and the sleazier, funkier Mancini-isms of "Beautiful Life". Timeless.

Review: Sao Paolo's Aaron Mello aka Mystific has been rocking clubs with his DJ sets a-la DJ Marky, and stirring up our release pages with his productions, more recently. His latest pile of tunes comes courtesy of Soul Deep's digital offshoot, and the man serves up four stunning liquid excursions for the heads. "It's Too Late" takes us back to the mid noughties and to artists like High Contrast and Logistics, while "More Than You" is a little more vibrant and uplifting. "Shiver" is jazzy, deep and beautifully executed, but it's "Beautiful Music" that steals the limelight thanks to its gorgeous background melodies and big room sound.

Review: West country wayfarer Zen Dub laid down a stunning spiritual document on Soul Deep earlier this year. It went down so well the US label have recruited a crack team of remixers to write five new chapters: Sektor makes great use of the hypnotic arpeggio on "Believe", Impish flips "Fading Memories" into a waspy roller with added drum detail, Tremah gets trippy with the reverse effects and spatial feels on "Rainy Days", Altered Perception galvanise the 'feel good' messages of "Shining On Me" (with a little more grit on the lower end) and HumaNature adds a really cool Prototypes-style electro feel to the bass on "End Of The Line". Finally Colossus closes the show with the darkest version of the collection with a slick two-step tear-up that's highly reminiscent of an early Commix joint. Please form an orderly queue.

Review: An Oxford/LA hook-up by way of Soul Deep, Cosmology and Magnafide?s styles complement each other neatly as the pair explore the liquid realms with a commendable balance of restraint and fine-tuned drum work. ?Dream Mode? feels like a heartfelt ode to Good Looking?s golden era with overwhelming atmospheres and heaps of space between every element. ?Pasadena Drive? is a leaner affair with occasional harp ripples, honey-coated subs and mild traces of euphoria on the fills. Dreamy.

Review: Southampton's Al Pack takes us for a ride through the various, classic shades of drum and bass; borrowing equally from jungle as he does from soul and disco, calling to mind legends such as Peshay, Alex Reece and London Elektricity. Starting with the jazz infused vibes of the title track, other highlights aren't limited to the street level breakbeat science of "Ruffneck Tactics" and "Hustle Daily" while "Nimbus" or "Quarter After Two" feature the smooth liquid drum and bass vibes that LTJ Bukem or Calibre would stand up and notice. Well produced and promising stuff.

Review: DJ Clart: New to Soul Deep, but not new to D&B... The London-based DJ has been laying down the jazz feels on the likes of LuvDisaster, Peer Pressure, Influenza and Fokuz for years. Here we find him in total velvet mode: "Beautiful Music" lives up to its name as breezy ripples provide light and shade and a really cool vocal refrain is used on the fills. "Sweatin'" takes a funkier route with big Roy Ayers style elements in the slippery sample-based groove. Clarty on dudes!

Review: Once again Soul Deep deliver a brand new artist: Nothing is known about Underdog right now besides the fact he makes velvet D&B and pays very close attention to the drums. "When I First Saw You" squares full emphasis on the swinging, brushed drum breaks as fluttering jazzy samples float by dreamily. "Not Necessary" takes us even deeper with big wavy washes and more cymbal-smashing rhythm energy. "Just You" shows a different side to Underdog with more of a loopy, mid-2000s Alix Perez feel to the sharp sample sass while "Lonely Village" brings us to an emotional finale with a lush lolloping double bass, rattling snares and a restrained sense of mourning. Everybody loves an Underdog.

Review: Switching their signature soothing liquid for a rougher, heavier jungle vibe, Soul Deep head to Germany for a heavyweight reggae jungle four-tracker. There's some serious vocal syrup going on with cuts such as "Why Did you Leave Me" and "Your Day Has Come" but if you're looking for pure drum awe than jump on the Paradox-level drums of "Refuge" and "People Of The World" or the total dub immersion on the breakdown of "Earth & Sky". Get on the Defensive.

Review: Soul Deep continue to excavate exciting, unknown talent from the fresh bass coalface. Unlike previous Soul Deep releases where deliveries are usually two or three tracks deep, here we find Geeks being given a full EP to flex their musical skills. It works; across the five tracks we get a really solid view of their sound and influences. From the tight two-step and lush dulcets on "Beautiful Confusion" to the stately church textures and deep bass on "Fourth" there's a great range at play that leaves you wanting more.

Review: While Brazil usually dominates the South America's D&B headlines, Santiago soundboy B-Science reminds us that 170 rhythms are just as exciting from elsewhere across the continent. "True Soul" and "Broken" roll with big soul flavours and gorgeous sample craft while "Triangles" takes us down a classic Omni Trio style path. Like his county's wine these cuts are full-bodied, fiery and ultimately soul soothing.

Review: Belgian freshman Triangle steps up to Soul Deep with two breezy steppers; "Ocean Bay" is the big dream roller. All twinkles and winks, think Logistics' deeper work and you're not far off. Next up, "Close To You" a track swings on a sharpened two-step while shimmering arpeggios weave and bob between each other and strong atmospheric washes ebb and flow in the background. Equilaterally ace.

Review: Last spotted on Soul Deep in 2012, Modu returns with three more sugar-coated soul rollers. "Through The Night" is a real star-gazing piece that's highly reminiscent of Bungle's work from around five years ago; Deep, spacey but well weighted. "Stay Home & Chill" lives up to its name with its jazzy chords while the drums play the role of the mischievous mate trying to convince you to come out and play. Finally "Wrong With The" closes the show with a Marky-style up-and-down chord effect and some really classic reverse switches on the drums. Through the night? Through the whole week more like.

Review: Soul Deep continue to sow seeds of the future into jungle's fertile pastures with another bumper crop of fresh, emerging talent. Opening with the trembling pads and yearning vocal texture of Arlow's "Come Back", the album proceeds to deliver fruit after fruit of crisp, untainted deep drum & bass. From the filtered drums and treacle-thick subs of Muggsy's "Another Late Night" to the cascading keys and soaring vocal of Surplus's "Desperate Day Dream" to the Bob Jamesesque jazz flurries and fluctuations of Fil Enzo's "Baltimore Jazz", it's yet another example of Soul Deep's ability to dig deeper than the rest... And harvest some of the most exciting crops.

Review: We're not sure if they create these partnerships or they happen naturally but Soul Deep consistently deal in great international partnerships. While the label frequently sports US/UK pollinations, this time we've got a UK/German hook up as Skinley and T:Base lay down two beautiful slices of subtle rolling gold; "Flutes At Dawn" isn't just a clever title. Refusing to over-emphasise the oft-divisive instrument, the flutes are simply mist that vape away in a tangerine sunrise of shimmering pads and well-polished drums. "Serene Dream" lives up to its name, too as majestic pads sweep and keys linger and echo leaving traces throughout. Just like a dream, it's less of a story, more of a hazy fusion to get lost in. Stunning.

Review: Soul Deep are firing serious shots this year. Proffering a consistent slew of beats with a quality control as high as their release rate, the label's ability to identify new talent and support it is unlike any other this year. Here are another 11 examples; the emotive piano work of Philadelphia's CitySkape, the earthy soul of Oscar Maya and floaty, Bcee-style rolls of Greenspoon are but three of many highlights. Another future-proofed document that supports the next generation.

Review: Handsome Mr Ransome has made a very interesting genre-conversion in the last two years: from firing hard dance to liquid D&B lushness. Switches don't come any clearer or bolder, especially when they're executed with such confidence and clarity. His Soul Deep debut, both cuts breeze and bluster with 170 styles: "Feeling Sorry For Myself" counters dreamy drifty horns with early Bukem-style arpeggios and deep smouldering subs while "Can't See Holy" takes a jazzier route with delicate vocals from Young Dikaiko, a slippery double bass bassline and more evocative horn work. Good looking.

Review: Mexican-in-France Joakuim is the latest example of Soul Deep's unfettered love for unearthing exciting new talents from across the globe. Across the two tracks he displays deep musical talent that should find their way into all styles of D&B playlists: "Feel" is the softer focussed cut with a honeyed vocal and gentle piano lilts while "Manimal" goes a touch heavier with a heavier weave of elements in the foreground and subtle spine-tingling sirens deep in the background. Stunning.

Review: With DJ support coming from the likes of John B, Bukem and Technimatic, Parisian producer Treex has been locked onto the right track for several years now. Soul Deep were one of the first labels to really recognise and nurture this as far back as 2013... And the relationship is still going strong with this delicious three-tracker. "Deep Note" is an amen-addled roller with warm filtered chords fluctuating subtly. "Can't Go Home" rides a cosmic arpeggio and Utah Jazz-style vocal sample bareback while "Pushin' On" is a jazzy roller that takes us back to the early 2000s when Hospital Records rewrote the rulebook. Beautiful.

Review: A deep flowing set of tracks from Spanish producer and co-owner of Complex Records.This time joining forces with the good souls at Soul Deep, he's brought classy, crisp decorum to the label, offering smooth rolling rhythms touched by modern electronic twists. "I Just Want You More" shows this mudding of sounds together extremely well, with its fresh, brisk atmosphere, tight, techy synths and deep harmonious bass. A masterclass in contemporary liquid drum and bass.

Review: Soul Deep Digital are back with yet another EP. It almost seems like the guys behind this label don't sleep and the frequency with which they churn out these releases almost has us slightly concerned for their health. Almost, anyway, because their music is so deft that it seems likely to have cured any medical problems they have. 'Midnight Train' kicks off Revival's release and it's a shuffling, double-bass led number that doesn't deviate much from its course yet nails said course. 'Groovin' is the best tune on the release, with a funky piano to die for and that classic rough vibe to the drum line. Sick.
