Slave - Feel My Love (InnerWestSoul Remix)

Feel My Love (InnerWestSoul Edit) by InnerWestSoul

My friend and Chicago house legend Derrick Carter once gave a really good summary of "deep house" saying something to the effect of, "Disco, R&B, funk and soul are all house music. We used to call that music 'deep house,' because it's like reaching back to the music of your roots."

Last month, I did a feature on an amazing rework of ELO's Evil Woman by Sydney-based cratedigger InnerWestSoul. There really isn't much representation for this bloke online beyond his SoundCloud page, so I can't tell you much about him.

What I can say, though is that I think this guy is doing an amazing job at putting his fingerprint on classics, and turning them into dancefloor-ready jams for the 21st century. What I especially like is the fact that a lot of his remixes are concocted using only original bits of the tracks, with no extra additives. I appreciate this purist process, because it leaves so much of what makes the original intact, while somehow strengthening its soul.

Tensnake - In The End I Want You To Cry

A little deep house to get your body shaking.

I first found out about Tensnake one night while listening to a club radio program on MotorFM here in Berlin when they played this awesome remix of Aloe Blacc's "I Need A Dollar." After some quick research, I came across this Hamburger's prolific Soundcloud page. Wish I could have gotten a chance to go to one of his shows in Germany before my deportation coming up on Saturday. Wah-wah.
