Jimpster, Atnarko, Alexkid, Kruse & Nürnberg
Got some of the newest and hottest deep house cuts to come out this frosty (at least in the northern hemisphere) winter. I’m talking about the kind of music that melts in your ears, not the sort of high energy, gimmicky slop that most associate with today’s house music. I’m talking about deep house…what you know about deep house? Like that.

First up is a remix from the deep house figure probably I respect the most, . If you don’t know Jimpster, or haven’t heard Amoré, his album that bridged the gap between lounge, house, R&B, and electronic, you should give him a look. Founder of Freerange records, this DJ and producer seems to have his fellow selectors in mind with his remix of Kasper Bjørke, which has been killing it on the Beatport charts recently. I don’t know what it is about Denmark and deep house, but it sounds like the Danish know how to do it right. Let the stab kick in after the first drop, it’s a fun track.

comes correct with an edit of his own track, which features some very nice vocals from Nica Brooke. If you’ve been following the deep house around the blog, you might realize by now that all it takes to please me in a house track with a vocal is a soulful black female, there is something so incredibly disarming in tha voice within a track like this. And if you would like a perfect example of a good drop, the one at 2:50, with enough sub, would have people moving.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a remix like this one from that incorporates a syncopated rhythm that occupies its peaks, this distorted almost 8-bit-sounding hit. I am definitely a fan of the low-key vibe the song puts out, sort of creating a vibe of tension that begs for release, but it took me a few plays to get into the breaksy part of it. I can say now that I’m totally feelin it, it’s new and different and kinda fresh.

Here’s another one, it’s by Kruse & Nürnberg, that sort of meanders along with a beat sequence that, while it is definitely 4/4, invokes a different sort of rhythm. If you think about dancing to it, I’d imagine a different body movement than usual. If you have found music before (not necessarily this track or any of these tracks), that has just taken control and made you get up and dance, than you understand what I’m talking about. Just like that.
