A DJ for over 20 years, Deepshine continues to push the boundaries of mixing musical styles. His album of original productions, “Four Years” (2003) is a culmination of turntablism, deep house grooves, funk laden hiphop, and ambient dub that is sure to appeal to wide audiences and take the chill experience to a new level. Perfect at the beginning of the night, long road trips, or just reading the Sunday Times, “Four Years” just fits.

Deepshine cut his teeth spinning hiphop and dancehall reggae in the late 80′s and early 90′s, starting in clubs and radio in Worcester, MA. He extended his radio background by producing and co-hosting the popular OldYist Radio, an internet radio show on Groovefactory.com, from 2000-2004, and then independently broadcast through 2008.
As the DJ of the 7 piece funk/jam outfit Chronicle in the late 90′s, he was one of the first artists on Audiogalaxy.com and was featured on the 1st AG compilation CD. In addition to the stint in Chronicle, Deepshine (under various pseudonyms) has played to crowds at the Wonder Bar, Copperfield’s, The Enormous Room, Atmosphere, the Lizard Lounge, and countless other Boston bars and clubs.

Hooking up with the NightVision and Movement Radio crew, Deep is currently producing his own Internet based radio show entitled “Deep’s Love Handles.” DLH subscribes to no particular genre of music, but instead reflects Deep’s wide variety of tastes and influences. Rooted strongly in old skool hiphop and underground house, DLH also wanders into the realms of the acoustic singer/songwriter, indie rock, emo schlock, and riddim driven dancehall.

Deepshine continues to expand musically and has produced numerous “white-label” remixes of popular music, as well as for artists such as Regenerated Headpiece and Godboxer.

He is also part of the underground electronic-pop-rock duo The Lower Mills, whose first single is entitled "Thirsty (Deepshine's Dub)"

20 years before the emergence of STS9, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on a mission to the farthest reaches of the solar system and beyond. Each of these probes was equipped with identical Golden Records, special messages attached to what Carl Sagan called “a bottle launched into the cosmic ocean.” They contained numerous images and sounds from throughout the world, pieces of music from various cultures, a map identifying the location of our planet, and other information for whomever, or whatever, might find them.

While the Golden Records included greetings in 59 languages, they made no mention of nations and borders, wars and rivalries, or anything else that divides us. What they did mention was life, love, peace, birth--the things that bind us to one another and to the planet we call home. 

The Universe Inside is a reflection of this message. It is a story about human identity and the magical truth of who we are, where we’re going, and our place in the Universe. It says we are one, made of stardust and the forces of nature that evolved over billions of years. Connected by the sun, moon and stars, we are the living, breathing conscience of the Universe. 

"We are one, made from dust of the stars / down here we bear the weight of the pain and the scars / just want to live with nothing to hide / every one of us a universe inside."
