Tara Rodgers' fascinating story as a composer, writer and educator is a continuously evolving one - but it seems she will never stray from her love of all things analog...

This is a underground deep house & techno 'yearbook' curated in the year 2000 ~ Nearly 60 musicians, 6 hours of unmixed deepness from still active and 'missing' artists... Please stay a while... and join the hunt!

[2021 Edit : sorry, can't afford the subscription anymore so the tracks seen have been cut down]

All the tracks are nearly 20 years old but as you can hear: they all bear another common trait; a strong, deep spirit that resonates just as powerful in these current ages. 

There's a lot to say and a lot to listen to. Unsurprisingly... an important backstory, ironic copyright disclaimer and statement of intent is needed:
 
Before Soundcloud, faceboook,beatport, myspace, napster and even ipods there was mp3.com...

All these tracks were uploaded by the artists on THE ORIGINAL mp3.com around the year 2000... before it's demise... leaving the strong community of musicians ("the content makers") to find another home on the net. 
This page has no affiliation or connection to mp3.com in its current form - don't even bother going there. 

But Read the wiki page- It's fascinating internet music history (of course involving musicians getting various shades of shafted)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3.com

I am but only one of the many underground electronic musicians featured here and own the rights to only one track. and claim no other right. This is not a label; it is a promotional portal to the artists and a noticeboard/milk carton for the 'lost or missing'. This page will not be monetized to my benefit: I pay for this soundcloud account and put the time in to compile it, that's it. There will be transmission rights infringement (artists pls see below) with some tracks but I hope we can overcome this, enjoy the music and promote its deep heart-warming properties and the people who poured their hearts out over those black and white keys, knobs and sliders. 
 
I managed to save many tracks onto cdr that were meticulously combed on mp3.com, and proudly added to my deepsounds 'radio station'... day-in day-out; digging for gold and by gold I mean the purest deepness! Now, finding an old box of discs I hope the selection will work in this context as a harmonious group of soulful electronic music that will be an extra place of connection between listeners, musicians, their current productions and/or subsequent physical releases.

ALL tracks are copyrighted by the respective artists! But a (C) has been placed beside tracks to ID artists that I have direct contact with.

Fellow LOVERS OF THE DEEP/LABELS/DJ's: downloads are disabled - it's not my call sorry. But please try contacting the musician direct/purchase their music via link details on the track description or if none there; leave some breadcrumbs as comments (on the track please); any requests,thoughts or clues - maybe we can find where they are now by puzzling it out together... and perhaps spur some reissues and represses! 

Fellow MUSICIANS & SONG-OWNERS: cursory efforts (with what little spare time I control) have been made to find/contact everybody (discogs/soudcloud/google) to touch base on this apologetically opt-out playlist and include a direct contact point/soundcloud/discogs/fb link for you in the track description if available (so that fans or labels know where to go to find the rest of your music:)  Downloads will always be disabled ... msg me to change, add details, swap out, or TAKEDOWN YOUR TRACK if you ended up scoring a licence deal (yay!) that prohibits this kind of 3rd party promotion or you're unhappy about being included in this peaceful outreach exercise (sorry!). 

Onwards and Outwards ... lets Pay it Forward ... lets Spread the Word! 
Keep it Deep   ~    Ewan Jansen
