Deepness from the groove master
DJ Rico
Born in Bangui Central African Republic, now based in
France, Deep Y'All aka DJ Rico has been djing on the international circuit
for over 20 years. It was not until 1999, that Rico started producing
with Frederic Faupin aka Mr Fuzz, under the name "Grantorino", with
which they had great success with tracks such as "Shake The Black Star",
with remixes by Alix Alvarez.
Since then, he has also collaborated
on the documentary "Hang The DJ", and compiled and mixed tracks for
Slip'n'Slide's compilation series "Soul In The House" and "Jazz in the
House".
In 2008 , DJ Rico set up his own label, Nu DEEP MUSIC and
with releases from the likes of Poji, Soundmen On Wax, Unified,
Razanaprod, Gotta Keep Faith, Cabana Records to name a
few.
'Building Of Deep' featuring the soul jazz singer Kathrin is
DJ Rico's debut release on Deep London Records. It first appeared as a
promo on their 2009 Miami WMC Sampler, which reached number 10 on
Traxsource's chart.
'Building Of Deep' was one of the tunes of WMC
2009 and has been supported by the likes of JoJo Flores, Andy Ward, Phil
Asher, King Britt to name a few. Expect alot more from the groovemaster DJ
Rico on Deep London Records..

"Building of deep
(afrodeep mix) - i really see this choon making a big impact in miami. it
has the formula for a dance floor banger. The beat is straight to the
point with the over laying of the neo soulish vocals compliment one
another well. I can't wait to rock this one on a system!!

2009 :Packed with more energy and
glow than a box of Readybreak, there's no stopping this duo in their
pursuit for their love of house music. We can only expect great things to
come from Deep London in 2009 as Johnny & Stan-ley get set to launch
Deep London Records this Spring. Armed with a hot Sampler EP in time for
Miami WMC, the boys showcase some of the brilliant tunes they have signed
from artist's including Candy Apple, Deep Y'All, Africa Got Soul and some
productions and remixes of their own
too.
RELEASES:
Deep london records Miami
WMC Sampler 2009 - First up is an emotional slice of soulfulness from
Candy Apple Productions featuring the sublime voice of Anjou who delivers
a stunning heartfelt vocal over a lush house soundscape. Sunny afro vibes
come courtesy of French DJ/Producer Deep Y'All (aka DJ Rico) who delivers
'Building of Deep' featuring vocal stabs from Kathrin. Injecting some
proper funk into the house, Stan-ley delivers a hot remix of Africa Got
Soul's brilliant cover of Temptations classic 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone'
laced with funky guitars and infectious jazz flavas from South African
Jazz band Abavuki. Rounding off the package is a remix from upcoming
producer Garphie (recently signed to Soul Heaven) who conjours up an
intense deep infectious groove riddled with haunting synths on Stan-ley's
own production, 'Love Me Or Leave
Me'.
REVIEWS:

"1 candy apple ft anjou - leaving you (original mix) - i love
the dubby intro which builds into a groovy late night mesmerizing romantic
jam. the horn solo's with dubby effects on the vocals really compliment
one another. i am also feeling the synthesizer chords as well. composition
and content wise i think we have a winner here.
2 deep y'all aka dj
rico - building of deep (afrodeep mix) - i really see this choon making a
big impact in miami. it has the formula for a dance floor banger. the beat
is straight to the point with the over laying of the neo soulish vocals
compliment one another well. i can't wait to rock this one on a
system!!
3 africa got soul ft abavuki - papa was a rolling stone (dj
stan-ley township ingroove vocal mix) - the beat, horns and groove are
really catchy!! this is an interesting spin on the original song. it's
definitely a afrobeat twist with soul.
4 stan-ley - love me or leave me
(dj garphie raw mix) - this screams big room with a killer sound system
all over it."

"lovin the candy apple song !
bring it more !!"
Quentin Harris
"There's something quirky about
the songs on this EP. That's probably what makes them sort of appealing.
Building Of Deep & Love Me Or Leave Me are the standouts."
Jon
Cutler
"Building of Deep...afrodopeness!!!"
Domu
This EP is a
classy blend of the styles of house music i love. A trifle funky, a little
bit acid, but throughout it is quality AND quantity. Faves are Africa Got
Soul and Love Me or Leave Me. The afro vibe on the former is just right to
bubble up the dancers, and the depth and groove on the drums and bass on
the latter is perfect for the late night heads bounce!

Deep London
Records first official single release will be on the 27th April
2009.
Deep London are the words that depict the story of two world class DJs with a sincere love for house. Coming from afar to find their home, they delved further into the world of the underground.where they discovered an adoration for "dark" soulful dance. This inspired them to create a stage from which a great expression for this love would nourish.
A love of the deep.
DJ Stan-ley and Johnny Kaz provide the soundtrack to their story. They weave a complex and joyful selection of beats that infuse, move, inspire, touch and elevate each room they play. All this while letting go of their warm and contagious passion.
To fully express their love was to compliment their sound with the people who have inspired their discovery.
In 2007 they debuted with Dennis Ferrer. Apt really, as Dennis had crafted that years biggest dance record, where the chorus sang.. Deep...underground is my home. On the night, when Dennis dropped that tune, it brought the heat to Brixton.
In 2008 they introduced to London the youthful talents of The Martinez Brothers, and on that night they raised the roof. With Franck Roger and Alix Alvarez they illustrated once again the strength of this sound.
In 2009 they'll bring you more of the deepest warmest house. In the meantime explore their world, hear their sound, check out their wears, or simply download their productions exclusively through traxsource.com
Deep London
Keep it Deep !!
