"Story02 brings you more tales from the deepside that have no author attached to them and rather sound like deephouse traditionals secretly and orally passed down from one wise deephouse initiate to the next. Free from superficial glitzy effects, showy noodling or even the slightest nod to the latest fad in clubland, every single one of these 3 tracks is like a condensed version of what deephouse is about and revokes mystic memories of nights in dark, bassridden basements. 'Deepcut59' is a manifest not for minimalism but simplicity where only the slow swelling of a chord can make you burst with joy, and just the addition of a hi-hat will stir you into action with new vigor. 'On The Way Back' over on the b-side features a relentlessly pushing, driving rhythm with abstract, piercing piano chords scattered all over while the title of the closing 'Rhodes On Drums' says it all: sweet wailing, rhodes musings on 'love and happiness' for those blue hours in the morning. This story is an epic!"

Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	STORY 003EP

An acid house veteran that followed the whole UK rave progression to harder techno, Unknown harks back to his early influences. Cuts like "The Rub" or "DH-13" slowly sneak-up on you until you are immersed in the smoky, dub-filled atmosphere, akin to the psychedelic soul of Motown's Norman J. Whitfield or RZA's mystic hip-hop soundscapes. "Whobadu" trades a 4/4 pattern for a looser, hand-clapping '80s funk groove, while "Olufeme" is a stripped-down, Fela-style Afro groover with mighty, dubbed-out horn loops.

Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	STORY 004EP

Another main player of the current elite of deep house producers makes an anonymous appearance on the Story imprint. Right from the beginning of "Fascinated," we get slowly woven into a maze by the spellbinding introduction of a sultry soulstress. "Taj Mahal" has a more robust, earthy beat with tabla and twangy sitar sounds panning around, making you see all these groovy colors. "You Better Find A Job" features warm, pulsating bass, psychedelic feedback and far-out flangers.

Label:	STORY (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	STORY 005EP

Another anonymous high priest of the Secret New House World Order presents three deep tracks in the best Chicago tradition. "Feel About" exposes a basic jacking beat somewhere around the magical 120bpm range, an almost sedative walking bass line, swinging organ chords and vocal snippets that command your butt to shake. "Gruteaussichten" packs a harder punching groove and a slightly eerie atmosphere before a warm shower of synth chords hits the euphoria switch in your subconscious. Resistance is futile.
