Sharing with the audience what I think are the greatest records of the moment or what I think are timeless and personal classics is something that has motivated me through the years. I see my job as being a big filter: As a vinyl junkie, I am in the record stores chasing jams almost everyday. And I am also following movements in what I hear such as when techno was revolutionary or when the NY deep house sound really expanded, that’s what I would showcase. Now that a lot of techno and house roots are being revived and also reinvented, I can as always, enjoy playing a lot of new amazing records and some classics!

Twenty years in, from house to techno and everything in between, DJ Deep has immersed himself in the ebb and flows of music, be it NY, Chicago, Detroit or today’s current pulsating waves. He captures the magic of each as a leading figure of the Parisian scene and label owner, connecting the dots both forward and back with his own personal and multidimensional touch.

DJ Deep first got his break when he was invited by Laurent Garnier to DJ at parties such as Oz and Zoo at club Palace, or Boy, in his hometown Paris. Followed by regular appearances at the influential Rex Club, radio shows ‘A Deep Groove’ on then pirate station Radio FG, and later Radio Nova, plus a string of mix CDs on Distance and Respect is Burning, DJ Deep began touring worldwide, spreading his house and techno obsession to audiences craving his deep crates of musical truth.

In 2003, DJ Deep launched his labels Deeply Rooted (formerly Deeply Rooted House) and House Music Records, shining a spotlight on true-to-its roots house and techno records and harder to find gems from the likes of Kerri Chandler, L.B. Bad, Terence Fixmer, Mike Dehnert and Roman Poncet. The dream catalogue sealed his music curatorship with timeless records such as Kerri Chandler’s now classic “Back to the Raw”, Ben Klock’s remix of “Pong” by Kerri Chandler and Francois X’s “Code Red” remixed by Marcel Dettmann.

A reformat in 2015 and DJ Deep’s latest evolution in expression sees him join forces with Roman Poncet as Sergie Rezza, an open-minded experimentation with a standout album on Desire Records and performances including Berlin Atonal. Their straight-up techno live project, Adventice, saw a trio of releases on the reputable Tresor with performances at Weather Festival (Paris), Reperkusound Festival (Lyon) and many more to come. Fang is the duo’s house-leaning alias, which marked Deeply Rooted’s momentous 50th release in 2015. Unabatedly, DJ Deep’s solo adventure also continues with his own deep “cuts” out on his label or under his Rébeval raw house alias, on the cult NYC L.I.E.S Records.

Living in Finland (The land of forest, fairies and lakes), I first started DJing in Southern Africa, growing up with Kwaito and Afro, meeting greats like Mandoza and Tkzee in my youth, I am and always have been drawn to music that is well produced and artistic with emotion and artistic intent being central to the story. 

Rising again and again
from the ashes of darkness,
from the grey,
from the crumbled remains of what once was—
To be what is.

Now. Here. In this moment.
The time of no-time, a fleeting reality.
Between the cracks of silence
that form the foundation of our time.

Where light meets dark,
where time stops.
Fire burns. Shadows creep.

João Cláudio fell in love with dance music and electronic music when he was a child, influenced by his parents' 70's and 80's vinyl records. 

As a teenager, he started buying his own CDs, mixing them for his friends. 

At 24, after graduating in Business Administration, he moved to Miami. 

After two years of amazing experiences, he returned to Brazil and established himself as an entrepreneur in Minas Gerais state. 

Today João Cláudio, aka D Sounds, decided to show his musical style in his "two" hometowns, Belo Horizonte and Mexico City!
