UK

Just received this one from Bear Funk. Soirée, labelowner Stevie Kotey’s new project with Max Essa is a real beast that fuses all the good bits from balearic house, disco, funk and anything soulful.

One of our favourite deep house producers, UK’s Martin Iveson aka Atjazz has a new one under his belt called Full Circle. As the Co-founder and head of Mantis Recordings (Rhythm Plate, Brooks) has been on the forefront of jazzy UK deep house for ages. Operating from Derby he’s been producing a steady supply of deep house beats mixed with electric soul stuff & downbeat.

Heavy Deviance is a soulful, deep house duo from UK. If you like stuff like The Rurals (which you should!) you’d be familiar with the laidback, rhodesy UK house sound.. well add a bit of electro and downtempo beats to it and you get a solid urban album from the fresh Pure-Mint label.
