Chris Gray – Intelligent Emotions EP EP review
Chris Gray – Intelligent Emotions EP is another one of Chris Gray’s more emotional EPs which emits and showcases several moods in tone and nature. Blueprints For Your Mind, Rain's Love, and Diffused Emotion are some of the highlight tracks off the EP.
Blueprints For Your Mind is known for having a modernized futuristic electronic feeling and sound.

The soundscape is quite futuristic for a song produced and recorded in 1997. Chris Gray fans call Blueprints For Your Mind a house masterpiece.
Rain's Love borders on the line of IDM music and deep house. (IDM is intelligent dance music.) The song sounds vastly futuristic sounding than all of the other songs on the EP given the atmospheric abstract sound and style used.

Raw Elements – Raw Basics single review
Not many people know this or are aware of this tidbit of factual information but Raw Elements – Raw Basics was actually the first Mateo & Matos release. This single was their first release. This single is a representation of their early works from 1991. They delve into using the deep house sound and production they are internationally known for. One word to describe the single is smooth due to the soft beats.
Raw Basics is a deep house instrumental with a nice piano and soft lush but posh beats. However their beats are not as thick given that deep house had hardly progressed passed the underground in 1991. This was also due to the technology that was available at the time.
Deep Inside is one of those smooth sounding deep house songs. Deep Inside uses a vocal sample from Interceptor - Together. Deep Inside samples Interceptor - Together and Hanson & Davis - Tonight (Love Will Make It Right). Now that Hanson & Davis vocal sample has been used in so many house records over the years.
Lost in Time uses some smooth shakers accompanied by a kick drum. Lost in Time samples and recreates elements from the 1981 song Eddy Grant - Time Warp.
5/5*****!

Mateo & Matos – Urban Sound E.P. EP review
Mateo & Matos – Urban Sound E.P. is one of the lesser known Mateo & Matos releases which does not solely rely on deep house or focus on deep house. Instead this Mateo & Matos release uses a mixture of styles such as jazz house, lounge, and garage. Late night groovers such as Chill Groove and Just Lounging do a decent attempt at catching the lounge vibe.
Feel The Rhythm uses tribal house beats over dance synths and chords. The song gets warpy at times due to the smoky electronic organ. A garage soundscape is used.
Drums of the Night uses a barrage of shakers and tribal house beats over a jungle house based sound. The song uses a more Afrocentric based and oriented sound similar to Feel The Rhythm.
Chill Groove uses that laid back lounge sound over thick hip hop beats underlying a calming electronic soundscape in ethereal form. Chill Groove could be used as a late evening groover since the song is a late evening groover. The song is appropriate enough to be a late night groover given the lounge vibe. Overall the song is a decent attempt at catching the lounge sound.
Just Lounging uses that laid back lounge sound over thick hip hop beats underlying a calming electronic soundscape in a mellow manner. A 20s style jazz trumpet is used sporadically throughout the song. A nice piano is used also. Just Lounging could be used as a late evening groover since the song is a late evening groover. The song is appropriate enough to be a late night groover given the lounge vibe. Overall the song is a decent attempt at catching the lounge sound.

DJ Rasoul – Break Loose EP EP review
DJ Rasoul – Break Loose EP is one of the lesser known releases from the legendary virtuoso DJ Rasoul. DJ Rasoul leans more towards a glitch pop sound on this release as evidenced on songs such as Since You Been Away and Touch.
Touch (Smooth Mix) uses thin crispy processed electronic beats from a beat machine over retro synths. A looped vocal sample is what this song repetitive and gives the song an edge of deep house. The looped vocal sample is reverbed as there is a small delay. However there are echoes present. A bit of glitch pop is used and present on this mix of Touch.
Touch (Chicago Mix) is a Chicago house remix of the song Touch. That is why there is an element of deep house present and prevalent.
Since You Been Away sounds like a smorgasbord of Daft Punk samples with all those glitches and blips. This song leans more towards a glitch pop sound and not just only a deep house sound. DJ Rasoul experimented with something different by using a different style of music.
Break Loose is one of those is spectacular deep house songs with beats which will make you want to dance. Electronica style synths are used.
4/5****

Raw Elements – Back 2 Bay Six single review

This single was their second release and is representation of their early works from the 1990s. They delve into using the deep house sound and production they are internationally known for. The beats on this single are soft and sublime.
Back 2 Bay Six is a quality deep house song with a jazzy edge and is an example of early New York house music. You have the smoky electronic keyboard organ, flutes, and saxophone.
Sax 5 Ave pays a tribute to both New York house music (NYC house) and lounge jazz. The beats on this song are much harder. The songs title pays tribute to 5th Avenue which is a major thoroughfare located in the borough of Manhattan in New York City.
Higher is one of their softer and sublime songs with an upbeat deep house tempo. The beats on this song are soft and sublime.

Azuni – Soulship EP review
Azuni – Soulship EP is one of the most overlooked and underrated electronic singles of 2011. The single incorporates different style of electronic music such as deep house and dubstep. For example Feel It is a dubstep song while Do It To Me is a deep house song. All Azuni songs are simple but wonderful. Some of the best deep house comes from Azuni.
Do It To Me has some thick warped techno beats over an electronic deep house soundscape. Those harp styled chords from the keyboard are what made Do It To Me a lovely song. The deepness begins at the 1:50, 2:24, and 3:00 duration marks of the song.
How Wonderful is a lovely song about true simplicity and soul. How Wonderful is a soulful deep house song with a heavenly feeling, tone, and vibe which is why this Azuni song is a lovely song. Sound waves of this song follow the E major key. The sound quality on How Wonderful is astounding and absolutely amazing. You can hear some of the best deep house on this song.
Feel It is a good dubstep song. The song is accompanied by a kick drum and cymbals. Now this song is one of Azuni’s deeper songs which explains some deep history of electronic music in particular.

Nu Mood Orchestra - Nite Food EP is one of the most beautiful and underrated tech house EPs of 2001. Each of these tracks are essential bangers. The title track will take you on a peaceful journey through tech house. The track has a nice groove and sick filtered bass line which is thumping. Deeper Moods is a very chill and blissful track due to the relaxing shakers, synths, and beats.

Mateo & Matos – Underground Lingo EP EP review
Mateo & Matos – Underground Lingo EP is one of the forgotten and lesser known works of Mateo & Matos from 2003. Jungle house and tribal house meet deep house on the EP. Old Skool uses a barrage of soft sounding tribal house beats to a jungle house groove over quiet angelic harmonizing synths along with Latin style percussion. This is Mateo & Matos at their best. Sofrito uses a set of bongos over dance beats over a smooth lounge sound. Mateo & Matos are probably 2 of the most underrated house producers.
5/5*****!
