Rees Urban from Chicago's 5 Magazine called me sometime in early January for a fairly comprehensive interview. His edited version was printed in the February edition and since beginning of March the 5 Magazine website features the four page 'director's cut' of our interview. Rees did a great job covering my musical and DJ background, my move to the US, views about DJing and House Music, the Deeper Shades of House radio show, XM Radio, the Deeper Shades Recordings label and much more.
If you're ever in Chicago make sure to grab a copy of this free House Music magazine. 5 Magazine can be found at boutiques, cafes, and stores around Chicago. I also suggest you follow @Chicagourban and @5Magazine on Twitter for some interesting updates.

As a little holiday gift for all members of deepershades.net and the Deeper Shades of House Facebook group I created ring tones based on Deeper Shades Recordings releases for iPhone & Blackberry (and other phones that allow mp3 as a ringtone format).
All ring tones are around 30 seconds long and FREE to download for said members. If you haven't already, you can register right here, then log in and download your ring tones.
The free download period is over, you can soon purchase these ringtones on our site.
just a quick heads up that Deeper Shades of House show #273 will not be available on Tuesday Dec 9th since I am still out of town and won't be able to record it on Wednesday. So, this one time only the new show featuring an exclusive guestmix by JOJOFLORES will be available for download and listen as off Wednesday, Dec 10th 6pm PST.
This is straight up for the old school heads.
UK DJ Nicky Dungeons compiled a best of mix and video featuring many Acid House classics from 1988 / 1989. Some of the tracks were hits in clubs all over the world, others were pretty particular for the UK scene. Even though I was never lucky enough to check out any of the UK raves back then, I remember the clothes, the dances & the songs from a few parties I got to check out in Germany. I tried to play some Acid House in my hometown back then but that didn't stick. Cuxhaven is just way too small to be cool :)
You can check out the full tracklist of this mash up and links to Nicky Dungeons in the extended.
Wow. This just left me speechless and my mouth wide open in awe.
