New Heah High (Shed alias) EP out today. I loved the last HH release.

---------------------------

Scuba is ready to put out Phenix 2, on June 30th. The description is even nutter than before. The Phenix project seems like a reaction to people calling the Adrenalin EP/Personality LP too poppy and melodic or something. I love the absolute shit out of those records so I dunno.

Scuba
Phenix 2
PNX002

Scuba continues his Phenix series with a second installment entirely devoid of the euphoric hallmarks of the Personality era but missing none of the familiar attitude. No trace of vocals, feel-good chords or retro kicks, no real concern for the hour or room, Phenix 2 is instead teeming with mood and spirit.
From the underwater tones of opener, ‘Aphids’, through the hedonist techno grit of ‘Choke’ and ‘Solitary Confinement’, to the free indirect dissonance that is ‘Distance’, on Phenix 2 we see Scuba at his most impenitent. Cocksure improvisation, heads-down escapism and ardor in restraint are all at play on a record that manages to sound distinct from what came before it, yet all the while one which bears an unmistakable signature.

Release date: June 30th 2014

***For the only time in 2014, Scuba will bring his award-winning Live Show to Village Underground, London, on June 20th***

I have no idea what is with the promo art. Even funnier than the last one.

Previews here. Tracks 2 and 3 are mega fire, the other two are more moody/early Scuba sounding.

Hopefully he ignore those "but dubstep!" people and makes more Adrenaline/Personality type shit. Those songs make my heart soar. So yeah euphoric I guess.

Pretty smart use of Miley. Great little summer track!

Really is! Considering it came out in (your) winter, it should fit in nicely now. Only prob is that I've been listening to it on my studio monitors at home and can hear a number of little intricacies which detract from it a little :( Still, it's great to hear an unpretentious, unabashedly "pop" house track that doesn't have overly aggressive/"digital" synths in it.

La Roche is also the shit, too. I was really big on one of his earlier tracks (can't recall which one) but he has a stack of more free downloads which are all incredibly solid, too.

Fake edit: It was Malfunction, which IMO still sounds like it's held up pretty well. Heard it first on a Phonat mix, which I can't find or link to because I'm at work :(

I was just youtubing around, and man, I had no idea that house was so huge in the UK right now. Like, there is a string of number 1 hits. Duke Dumont, Route 94 (Fly 4 Life!), Second City, Gorgon City, and on and on. Its cool. I see some people are shitting on this mainstream house sound a bit, but I dunno. These are all great artist making good music. I hope they keep making raw shit though. Duke has been a little soft lately. Route 94's My Love was great, and still pretty gangsta.

What do you guys think about this current trend?

I like it. We need more quality house productions that aren't filled with squelchy, aggressive synth lines. Gimme dat smooth any day of the week... so much easier to get lost in.

The 'deep house sound' is getting really popular into mainstream music here as well. I'm often a bigger fan of the rawer, more underground-y tunes of those artists (if we're talking about Duke Dumont, Route94, SecondCity etc.), This ones are more summer-y and feel good, which isn't a bad thing. Still damn good tunes in my opinion and I'd rather hear that kind of music than Afrojack, Tiësto and Avicii shit like crap that's so incredible boring and predictable on radio. I hope this trend continues!

Link your favorite track. Push me into it. Its just that he was very much a gateway artist into electronic for me so I still wanna stay up on his shit, but a double album of DM is kinda unappealing.

Just got my copy. I would have been a wee lad when this first "came out." Now I'm getting to experience for the first time, at the same time as everyone else. It's as good anything else that RDJ has put out, a welcome release in this hiatus of his.

Thanks for the support those of you that have whacked "like" on the page, much appreciated. Whole things a bit of a game really with venues wanting to see it and agents too.

Well I suppose it is pleasing to see the success but there is a LOT of thoughtless derivative material being thrown out under this banner. Far too much soundalike nonsense.

Also there is huge offence at it being tagged as deep house. It could be one facet of deep house but I wouldn't say it is an exhaustive catch all, Moodymann, Parish and Sprinkles would have something to say about that. Media has started penning it as "tech house" now. I find the genre shuffling futile and a touch elitist.

Has sparked a certain pure house revival though. Lots of re-issues from Mood 2 Swing, Henry Street Music, Nite Grooves and a whole host of Chicago favourites have been popping up on vinyl. Much to the discogs seller's chagrin.

Just repurposing a genre name for another aim. It used to be electro house, then progressive house, now deep house and soon to be something else. Happens all the time, it's only labels, music goes on.

Techno and house are so inbred these days the quality of the music is better than it has been for years. We are seeing a lot of progressive house sets that are actually progressive, and I love it.
