Description : The idea to do something with the powerful voice of Delta blues musician Son House (1902-1988) came after I watched the documentary It Might Get Loud. Jack White (The White Stripes) played a record called People grinning in your face by Son House. An a cappella song with handclapping; one man against the world. You can find this magnificent fragment of the documentary on YouTube. Please watch it. Be awed. After that I listened to a lot of a cappella by Son House and was overwhelmed by John the Revelator. Even if you are not religious (like me) or familiar with the Bible (I am), this traditional gospel blues in a call and response-style is everything the blues is about. I realised it was almost sacrilegious to put a drumbeat under this vocal track, but it gave me goosebumps the first time I tried it. So I composed a dramatic housetrack together with STAX (Hans Clevers) on sax. I took almost a month or two to split the original voicetrack in enough pieces to re-align them with the basic beat without losing the original feel. Where possible, I eliminated the handclapping because it was mostly out of sync. After I got the basetrack right, STAX played his solo. Afterward the grand piano, choirs and strings where added plus the noise-percussion. The project and mixing took approx. five months.
John The Revelator (this is from Wikipedia) has been called one of the most powerful songs in all of pre-war acoustic music ... [which] has been hugely influential to blues performers. The song's title refers to the Apostle John as the author of the Book of Revelation. A portion of that book focuses on the opening of seven seals and the resulting apocalyptic events. In its various versions, the song quotes several passages from the Bible in the tradition of American spirituals. Son House recorded several a cappella versions of this song in the 1960s. His lyrics for a 1965 recording explicitly reference three theologically important events: the Fall Of Man, The Passion of the Christ and Resurrection. This is the version used here.

Description : A deep house/90's dance song with vocals from KnowKontrol and loops by WongKiShoo & Weazel Beats. The main inspiration for this song was definitely the Route 94 remix of 'Always' by MK ft. Alana, and I think I captured that aspect quite well. I REAALLLY hope you like it :)

Description : An attempt at writing a deep house track. Recorded in some guitar, chopped out some loops and built the track around it. Not sure if you could call it a deep house track though but there you go.
Description : A slightly hypnotic song here, a little impulsive but also comes very relaxing.
As always tinged slightly dark.
I knew again not what kind of a genre it is really.
Therefore, it is under Deep House because that fits in my opinion, quite good. But who knows ....
Who wants to understand the text, but not be German, which can be read by a translation.
To see under - Lyrics ....
Hopefully you like this song - feedback would be nice.
Description : So I took just one pad phrase that Alex wrote and built this monstrosity entirely around it. A gentle deep house ambient sentiment with soft jazzy pianos and deep and dirty bass withs lots and lots of percussion. I really like this one And I hope you do too!
Description : Very old type deep house. Live organ and tabla on the track One of the NY underground style of the 1990s? Thank you for listening!
Description : Sometimes simple is the best! This is a deep house with vocals from Donnie Ozone, which is quite minimalistic and simple and the main inspiration for it was 'Rhymes' by Hannah Wants. Hope you enjoy :)
Description : This is my first house tracks! No loops at all. This is a mix of deep house and electro house, so I decided to name this genre Sexy House! Enjoy :)
Description : Just put the final touches on this. Pretty happy with the final product but let me know if it's any good. I was going for a deep atmospheric beach vibe.
Description : DeepTech house track made with Nexus, Blue and some vocal samples.
Description : I had this amazing vox: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/5256 and drums by Eos and Mmedia to work with and this is what I came up with.
The acapella is from Porter Robinson and Mat Zo's tune Easy, so technically it's a remix, but I actually heard the original after I made my own song around the vox so it's not similar at all...maybe that's a good thing, I don't know.
But I really did my best with this one and tried to use everything I learned so far while mixing and mastering and I'm actually almost happy with the result.
Work in progress though...the piano comes out in one ear and the vox in the other so something went wrong anyway. =D
Edit: I'm NOT happy at all anymore - hearing all the flaws now...
Feedback will be much appreciated!
