“I see my job as being a big filter,” says DJ Deep, rather underplaying the key role the Frenchman has had in the development of House and Techno music over the last 20 years. “As a vinyl junkie, I am in the record stores chasing jams almost every day. Sharing what I think are the greatest records of the moment or the most timeless personal classics is something that has motivated me throughout the years.” Since 2003, he has headed up his own forward-looking Deeply Rooted label which is synonymous with classy, true-to-its roots house and techno from new and established greats like Kerri Chandler, Ben Klock, Francois X, Ben Sims Marcel Dettmann, Roman Poncet, Jin Hester, Franck Roger, Manoo, Marina Trench, Hugo LX, and the list goes on. Always interested in new Music and new explorations, Dj Deep started a new imprint in 2018: Deep Moments, focussing on the more abstract and Deep sounds of House, inspired by his weekly trips to Yoyaku recordstore in Paris, he decided to join their exclusive label roster. The more eclectic side of DJ Deep also comes out in his Open Library radio shows in Worldwide FM consisting of a mix of jazz, soul, dub, funk and ambient that make for very special and immersive soundtracks. Whatever he is playing or producing, it’s fair to say that DJ Deep always has something to say that is very much worth hearing.
