Fresh Drops Vol. 4 - Kris Jones Extended 2 Hour Mix

This month for Fresh Drops we ended up not having in a guest, but Kris dropped an extended 2 hour mix.  The vibes on this range from Nu Disco to Deep and Future House and some Garage influence for good measure.  A few of these are out as free downloads, a couple are forthcoming on some great labels, as well as some already released heat.  Make sure to check the tracklisting below. This is a summer vibe mix throughout, we hope you enjoy. 

And in case you haven't seen this feature before, we have a monthly show that we stream live on Underground Sound Canada's Mixlr channel.  We are just one week, but there are new mixes every Sunday night.

Best of DeepWit Vol. 3 [DeepWit Recordings]

If you're looking for a sophisticated deep house compilation to add to your collection for the summer, look no further than Best Of DeepWit Vol. 3, the latest iteration of DeepWit Recordings' artist compilations. This one has a flavour for every style of deep house, whether you like things to be a bit more subtle and brooding, or if you like a little bit more punch (as I do). It's also super fresh, having just been released yesterday.

For me, the higher energy standouts on the compilation are Ivan Garci's No Lights (which if you like it, make sure to check his release in the Remixed By series from a little while back) and Enough (Nuff' Said Remix) by Tony S - those slightly muted high keys really get me. I also can't forget about the classic feel exhibited on Demarkus Lewis' remix of Miles Away, originally by Agent Libre, which is a new pseudonym for Montreal artist Reagan Grey.

On the more laid back side, I really enjoy the jazzy elements in E.M.M.E.'s The Needle On The Record, along with Angelo Mele's Good Morning Soul remixed by DeepWit label boss Alvaro Hylander.

As previously stated, if you're looking for a true deep house compilation for this summer, the Best Of DeepWit Vol. 3 is it.  Head over to Beatport to grab your copy, or save some money by buying directly from the label on Bandcamp.

Deep Vibe Vol 5. Mixed By Gavin Crawford

So there are any number of reasons for me posting this mix, any and all of which are true and have contributed to this post.  First, it's a hell of a great deep house mix, by my good friend Gavin Crawford.  Second, this has a nice focus on local artists, which I love to feature - Gavin is from right here in Regina, and the guest mix comes from Shael, from the province over, in Winnipeg. Third, Gavin's mix opens with a track from a label that we are now proudly affiliated with, Deepwit Recordings. Fourth, I think this is a perfect mix to get through a Thursday.  And lastly, it gives a nice little bridge into reminding you that this Sunday on Underground Sound Canada's Mixlr, Fresh Drops Vol. 2 will be aired, along with a guest mix from NuKraft.

With all that said, check out the mix below - tune in, turn up and vibe out.
