Arkeo is my most eclectic and techno-driven album to date—a fusion of my love for subterranean aesthetics and my deeply-rooted connection to Detroit’s underground music scene. 
While always keeping the dance floor in mind, this album also reflects something more personal: my spiritual journey and how it applies to my daily life.
Arkeo represents the awareness that I have weaknesses, but rather than seeing them as limitations, I view them as opportunities for God's power to work through me.  It’s a reminder that my dependence on Him allows me to walk more fully into the abundant life I’m meant to live.
Jesus said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 
— 2 Corinthians 12:9
As you listen, my hope is that you don’t just hear the music, but that you feel a connection to something deeper.

Modular Expansion Podcast - December 2016

DeepLabs happily welcomes Jeff Hess for his debut release Cherubim EP.
Eagerly anticipated, this record encompasses Jeff's sound inspired by 2nd wave minimal techno from artists such as Robert Hood and Basic Channel.
Jeff combines classic leaning stripped down analog techno with a unique character and plenty of soul to give you four Motown minimal DJ tools for the dance-floor.
Much love from Detroit.

Born in 1980 and raised in the Detroit area, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement. 

His background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dance floor, using frequencies, tones, and soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood. 
In 2003 he recorded his first promotional mix CD release for UR/Submerge. Since then, his faith based music production has landed him a seat with FXHE and Planet-e in Detroit. 

His debut album was released in early May 2009 by Denmark based label Echocord. 
In 2010 he began his own interpretation of Detroit techno with his new Detroit project and record label - DeepLabs. 

His sophomore album “Keep On” was released on FXHE records in 2012 and received a Recommended 4.5/5 rating on Resident Advisor. 

Hess is regarded as a perfectionist in his live sets and behind the decks layering his tracks in a very detailed and hypnotic manner. 
He has played at notable venues and events such as Tresor (Berlin), Culture Box (Copenhagen), Berghain (Berlin), Unit (Tokyo), Detroit Electronic Music Festival (Detroit), Fabric (London), The End Up (San Francisco), Golden Pudel (Hamburg), Sirup (Zagreb), Weekend Club (Berlin), Cubic Club (Madrid), Space (Ibiza), The Bunker (NYC) and many other venues all over the world. 

Luke’s continued hard work in the studio and in his performances combined with his unyielding interest in technology and sound will no doubt stimulate the boundaries of electronic music.
