| | Hed Kandi: Deeper CD (2 Customer Reviews)
As with nearly every other release from Hed Kandi, Deeper, Vol. 2 is a two-disc compilation that places style over substance. While it's admirable that labels such as Hed Kandi cater to clubbers who haven't the resources or desire to track down every single 12", the majority of material they gather together for each release is hollow. And, when the few tracks that rise above these problems are placed within that context, they become smoothed out and lose whatever impact they had to begin with. As bold and flashy as these tracks are, they become grindingly tedious and, within a short stretch of time, vapid. This set features Timo Maas' "To Get Down," Kings of Tomorrow's "Finally (Danny Tenaglia's Time Marches on Mix)," Puretone's "Addicted to Bass (Differentgear Mix)," Shauna Solomon's "I Wanna Be (Ricky Montanari and Stefano Greppi Deep Vox Mix)," and Stylus Trouble's "Future Child." ~ Andy Kellman
The second installment of deep house grooves from the label popular for their expert collections of the best tracks. The unimixed collection includes serious tracks from iiO, Urban Dwellers, Superchumbo, Robert Armani, Kings of Tomorrow, Celeda, Brown & Brown and more.

Hed Kandi: Deeper Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Deeper 2 lives up to the Hed Kandi tradition
Good stuff. Deeper 2 is much more progressive than its predecessor (which was more Deep House), yet it still manages to deliver stirring vocals and rhythyms while hitting you with some serious bass lines.
CD 1 is freaking amazing. Would have gotten a 5 but I feel CD 2 is somewhat lacking. The tracks have a little too much, hmm how do I phrase this, generic electronic sound and beats for my taste. It might just need to grow on me a little more. Plus it has remixes of 2 songs off of Deeper 1, which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your taste.
All in all a very solid pickup, and I definitely recommend it.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Deep, Deep, House...
This compilation contains some banging Deep House tracks. Including some of the years biggest smashes, KOT-finally, and iio-rapture(tastes so sweet)! Overall a good introduction into the latest house sounds be produced today. The comp ranges from deep organic house, to techy deep progressive house. Leaving a house fan truly satisfied, YUM YUM! If you do not like constant vocals in your house music; then avoid this comp. It's vocal heavy at times and can leave the listener wishing they'd just shut up!

If Hed Kandi's now ubiquitous club compilations leave any sort of lasting legacy, it will probably be the highly stylized deco-femmes that adorn the cover of each release. The music on these compilations, however, has often been limited to the whims of popular house music culture, which means that thoughtful programming is often overridden by big hit after big hit. In that sense, Hed Kandi: Disco Kandi 05.02 is not much different from any other Hed Kandi release, except to say that the past year had some cuts that were clever as well as catchy. Satisfying for house-heads while satiating the popular masses.

This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files consisting of footage of Up, Bustle And Out's recording sessions in Cuba. This limited edition also includes Rupert Mould's accompanying book "The Rebel Radio Diary."
During the '90s, dance producers voyaged into uncharted genre-crossover waters (jazz, classical, dub, academic electronics) with increasing regularity, so it was just a matter of time before at least one act attempted a recording inspired by Latin music, specifically the Cuban phenomenon of Buena Vista Social Club. It's doubtful, however, that anyone in the trip-hop community could do this kind of tribute as well as the British duo Up, Bustle and Out, who not only has strong roots within the music of Central and South America but has previously incorporated on-site field recordings into their material. Still, the first of two volumes in the Rebel Radio series is less a melding of breakbeat dance and native Latin forms than it is a trip-hop album inspired by Cuban music. It was undoubtedly a wise decision -- especially considering the potentially gimmicky sound of Cuban music laced with hip-hop breaks -- but Up, Bustle and Out also ran the risk of their listeners not being able to follow them. The album begins with a pair of tight beatbox-funk jams, "The Educators" and "Hip Hop Barrio," then goes into two traditional Cuban songs performed with a large band led by flutist Richard Egües who has played with salsa star icons including Tito Puente, Joe Cuba, Larry Harlow, and Fania All-Stars.

This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by Deep Dish.
"Thank You (Deep Dish Vocal Remix)" won the 2002 Grammy Award For Best Remixed Recording.
Incredibly nocturnal and hypnotic, propelled from the beginning of the first set to the end of the second with gigantic basslines and murky vocal dubs, Deep Dish's debut mix for the long-running Global Underground series is absolutely enveloping. It submerses you with its weight and its darkness as well as its numbing sense of bliss. Where much of progressive ...
