🌍 Show Format & Music Philosophy
Each episode blends soulful, deep, and underground house music — seamlessly mixed by Lars in hour one, followed by a guest DJ set in hour two. DSOH focuses on music that moves, whether from legends or complete unknowns.
Lars Behrenroth believes in presenting music based on passion and quality — not hype. That’s why guest DJs have ranged from icons like Osunlade, Jimpster, Charles Webster, Fred Everything, Black Coffee, Rocco, Kuniyuki Takahashi, Louie Vega to rising producers you’ve never heard before — yet.
🎛 Recorded at Deeper Shades HQ
Every week, Lars records and produces the show in his studio in Redondo Beach, California. From recording the first hour mix (often streamed live on Twitch) to final encoding and publishing, the full process is handled in-house — with attention to vibe and sound quality.
