Happy BC Friday People,
Our new release is available for pre-order - a bit of read about the artist and the release below!
Kicking off its latest series โRewindโ focused on reissues, 3 Feet Deep travels back in time with DJ WHO to curate a selection of his favorite releases and a remix from Pepe Elle.
Hailing from Baltimore, producer & DJ Chip Watkins aka DJ WHO has released more than 50 records over the course of his two-decade long career. A master of versatility, his sound draws inspiration from many genres including breaks, house, UK bass and garage, and progressive tribal house.
Side A loads up two tracks. First up is the mesmerizing 2-step anthem I Like It, which draws the listener with its hypnotic loops, shimmering vocals, and a groovy chugging sub.
A2 Pump the Method was first recorded in mono for the legendary Love Parade, to โ in his own words โ โcrush the crowd from the floats that were all in monoโ. The result is a raw club tool with heavy breaks and a roaring bassline.
On the flip side, inspired by a trip out west to the San Francisco underground, B1 In DโFaze (Street Knowledge Mix) combines NWA samples with an irresistible percussive drum break, over a tweaking acid bassline giving it that old-school West Coast groove.ย
Finally, Pรฉpรฉ Elle offers a fresh interpretation of A1 I Like It. Building on the enchanting vocals of the original track, he layers on spectral echoes, chopped punchy drums, and heavy bass sounds taking the original sound down a darker path.
