Deeper Shades Recordings - its roots in founder Lars Behrenroth's radio show 'Deeper Shades of House' are undeniable.
Deep House in general - soulful, techy, dubby, loungy, groovy in particular and all of it under one roof.
If you have a passion for the deep, this will be your home... >more
Impressed by Barack Obama’s speech in front of more than 200,000
people in Berlin, Germany on July 24th 2008, German producer Matt
Flores was inspired to create a new Deep House track.
Using
warm and driving beats, moving percussion and bass line, syncopated
synth stabs and spheric pads, the arrangement keeps building until it
climaxes into a break featuring an excerpt of before mentioned speech.
Personal message from Lars Behrenroth:
After I played ‘Now Is The Time’
on Deeper Shades of House show #260, I received a great amount of
messages and emails and the tracks impact made me realize that it needs
to be released and heard by many people before the upcoming US
presidential election on November 4th 2008.
This is only the fifth release for Deeper Shades, but with each and
every one of them they blessed the lovers of deep house music with
something fresh and different.
This latest one is no exception as
Lukeshara (aka Lukas Zaragoza) goes as deep as it gets to unleash a
hypnotizing deep house bomb driven by thumpin' beats, with the phat
spaced-out synth chords creating an irresistible feeling. Label head
Lars Behrenroth provides the remixes where he further deepens the track
by strengthening the beats and drums, while the additional synth layers
intensify the hypnotic vibe to the climax. August 24th review by Michael Fossati- SpiritOfHouse.com
Deeper Shades Recordings fourth release “Papawenda” introduces yet another very talented artist to the family - Fabio Genito from Italy. Fabio has recently received worldwide recognition for his debut release on Vega Records.
FG Main Mix – A spiritual, percussion driven piece with a chord progression that opens your heart and soul. The deep and warm bass complements the direction of this heavily atmospheric and dynamic production.
FG Organic Dub – The dub is stripped down and driving while keeping the integrity of the FG Main Mix. Its deep structure is created around the room filling bass and keeps everything moving forward.
The package is completed by two drum tool mixes which should be part of every DJs repertoire.
Fabio about Papawenda (June 2008)
"My inspiration was mother nature, the creation of human kind, the holy spirit...
The song is a dedication to the pureness of nature, a dedication to a mothers feeling when she conceives ... to the joy of birth .... an ancestral rhythm reminiscent of a beating heart ....because we all are coming from the heartbeat.... Papawenda...."
A special shout to Luis Baro for introducing us ... Thank you brother
(Fabio & Lars)

Deeper Shades Recordings’ third releaseI Miss The Things comes from head honcho himself, Lars Behrenroth alongside his friend and longtime production partner, Germany’s Sinan Baymak.
A seductively deep tune lays the groundwork for a contemplative and melancholic, yet uplifting vocal featuring Bianca Damm.
Lars Behrenroth & Sinan Baymak’s “Summer in Hamburg Mix” introduces the universally human theme with the natural sounds of the rolling ocean, allowing each layer to gradually build upon one another.
Joe DiPadova and Shea Marshall take the vocal into deeper and more soulful territory. Building energy and creating intensity that grows throughout until an organ solo provides release and yet simultaneously manages to propel the listener forward into another chord change.
Sinan Baymak’s Dub Remix is rhythmically driven and represents Hamburg's new role in the Deep (Tech) House world. With sparse vocals and ascending key pads, things keep moving forward at peak hour without looking back.
