Charlie Sparks - Abstract Emotion

Deep Dimension’s productions are voracious. Like heavy sonic artillery assaulting through blasting speakers, backed by punching kick drums. Searching for the essence of the 90s rave-scene, he interprets it by stripping it bare, creating an idiomatic formula for the present-day techno.

Discovering music through his dad’s record collection as a child, Jeffrey Hek started producing under the moniker Deep Dimension in 2015. Hek describes a pivotal point when realizing he searched for something non-existing in the music he played, concluding it was time to fill the gap himself. Having already played Exhale at Awakenings and Nature One, it is obvious he did the right thing. Ravey acid-stabs, twisted vocals and raw old school-samples are all ingredients he uses to conjure up the invasive, robust Deep Dimension-sound. After debuting on Rekids in 2018, he has further released on labels like Etruria, Planet Rhythm and Suara. A handful of Deep Dimension EP’s are available via Hek’s own imprint, GEN X, which also expands into other industry talents he respects and admires.

Naturally, the GEN X-style informs and flows through his DJ-sets too - as he likes to declare: “Techno, Acid, Rave - is what I stand for”. DJing since the mid 1990s, Deep Dimension is well experienced behind the decks, serving a flawless selection with the mission of pushing people’s energy further. He selects contemporary tracks capturing the feeling of the Dutch hard house- and techno-scene from the 90s, while at the same time breathing new life into classic gems he loved getting lost into during that era. Gabber and trance are always in the mix to create an uninhibited stomping trip, but you also find subtle elements of deeper progressive influences, creating a distinguished and fresh concept. Whatever you are looking for, you can rest assured - Deep Dimension will offer some real bang for your buck.

Where do I begin building my playlist with such an incredible amount of music and sub genres of techno available. 
What an amazing time to be alive. 
First playlist had 255 tracks so got split 3 ways;       Firstly groove, ghetto, samba and tribal, second much harder, edgier and deeper hard groove, third much older techno/ trance production I became immersed in on the dance floor way back and lastly hardcore,breakbeat and jungle from around 1993.
There’s so much more to find and add.
Such a joy to hear so many amazing tracks again and add them to playlists ready to learn how to mix finally.
It’s going to be an endless journey and very rewarding. I’d do it for a living if asked to.

I’m not a DJ, producer or artist but a lover of many sub genres of techno and dancing to it and started the journey way back in 1993 with hardcore breakbeat then jungle. 
Now into hard, melodic, groovy, breakbeat, tribal, ghetto techno with minimal breaks: 
Hard groove / Hardgroove - the ultimate genre and it just keeps getting better and better. 

Now the owner 2 turntables and a 4 a channel stand alone mixer 33 years after my first rave way back in 1993 at Desire, Roller Express and still have the flyer.  With so much amazing music available and the inspiration from so many superb artists and DJ’s it will be an amazing experience.
See you on a dance floor just make sure to keep up 🔊


Techno
Hardgroove techno is a sub-genre of techno that dates back to the 90's. The genre emphasizes rhythm and groove, featuring syncopated, funky beats and prominent, bouncy basslines. It stands out with its dynamic, percussive elements and energetic, danceable aggressive vibe. Often incorporating melodic or atmospheric touches, hardgroove techno blends influences from funk, breakbeat, and tribal music, creating a distinctive sound that's both rhythmically complex and highly engaging on the dancefloor.
