This is a tribute mix to a soul that had so much left to give; We cherish the gifts he did leave for us and we do right by sharing as much as we can to keep his memory and groove alive. 

This is a mix for Dana, and is only a small selection of his amazing work--records I hold near and dear, and hope this makes you explore more of his work.

Cosmic Simmering is a very personal new album of unreleased material from Chris Gray on Saft. The 13 track album has been composed of previously lost archives, restored DAT tapes and old CDs and it plots the musical evolution of one of house music's most underrated artists.

Gray has been producing since the mid-nineties, and in that time has crafted some seminal moments in deep house. He's landed on a range of labels, but most often Saft or his own Deep4Life. He has put out seven superb long players that explore a rich palette of moods and grooves, and this latest is another adventurous collection that travels far and wide into rhythm and sound. 

Work on this album started in March 2020 when Chris started digging around in his archives. Some of what he found was sketched in the late 80s, while other tracks were written a few months after Chris moved to Chicago and was living in his uncle's south side attic in early 1993. There are also some cuts from 1995 onwards which have been salvaged from deteriorating DAT tapes after a friend of Chris fixed his player. There is also a selection of early 2000s deep4life material taken from 20-year-old backups on cheap CDs, all brought back to life for this record.

Cosmic Simmering is a beautifully widescreen album that works equally on mind, body and spirit.

SAFT24 - Chris Gray - Cosmic Simmering

Artist: Andy Ash
Title: Momentary EP
Cat.: SAFTXØØ6
Label: saft
Format: Vinyl 12’’
Release date: June 9th
Style: Deep House, House

Assured UK house producer Andy Ash takes care of the next EP on SAFTX while the equally esteemed Mark E steps up to remix.  

For well over a decade now, Andy Ash has been turning out high-quality house music on a range of labels. Last year he served up a tasteful full-length on Quintessenials, the year before that he dropped a double 12" on Still Music and he is also a regular at the likes of Delusions Of Grandeur. From deep and dusty to disco-tinged and dynamic, he has a stylish sound that is well-versed in the classics but always with his own twist. He shows that again here with four fresh tunes which cannot fail to make you feel good.  

Opener 'You:Me' features Faber and is a brilliantly warm house groove. The drums and hi-hats are perfectly designed, the vamping chords bring a playful funk and swirling pads add diffuse late-night energy. It's a timeless cut with nods to the US midwest and subtle vocal sounds. 

Remixer and Merc label boss Mark E has a rich history of edits and originals on the likes of Running Back, Delusions Of Grandeur and Studio Barnhus. On his version, he lays down hazy, heavy kicks for a beatdown workout that comes alive with gorgeous synth work akin to all the best Detroit dons.  

Ash's 'Momentary Days' is a slow and roomy, dubbed-out house swinger. Well-placed samples - vocal coos, guitar riffs, jazzy chords - all peel off the loose drums and can't fail to get you moving. 'Reach' is another humid house cut for cosy back rooms and basements. The scruffy drums have frayed edges while dreamy melodies loop up top. It's a heartfelt sound that slowly turns you to deep inward reflection. 

Last of all is 'Rico! Rico!', a downtempo jazz-funk jam with crisp broken beats, keys that take you to the Riviera and strings so lush you can almost feel the sun on your face.  

This is deep house music as it should be - raw, expressive and full of human soul.
