Tipsy Moves

jazz is for ordinary people

Well, this one is really close to my heart and soul...

It's no secret that I worship Kevin Yost as a producer and a musician. Whether it's his deep/jazzy house, his downtempo jazz influence productions, his tech house alter egos, his live jazz band performances, his drumming in a reggae band, his movie scores, or his most recent 'live and improvised' shows, it's always quality with this guy... I can declare with a high degree of certainty that I can recognize a Kevin Yost track within the first few seconds of hearing it, because there is nobody out there that can match his complexly-layered, yet, often times, extraordinarily simple productions. There are very few musicians and producers out there that excite me as much as this guy does.

This mix was originally aired on my Sixth Sense Radio Show on the now-defunct online Radio Proval. Apart from my regular weekly show, I had started a once-a-month 'Reminiscence' series the purpose of which was to focus on the productions of a single artist, as a tribute. Naturally, this was the first installment. 

The focus here is on Kevin Yost's early house works, spanning the late 90's to the early 2000's. I wanted this to be a somewhat diverse mix that showcases various aspects of his production - lots of deep and driving basslines, percussion-filled tracks, jazzy solos and instrumentals, some vocal tracks, a couple of his early more techy productions, etc. It was a difficult task, keeping in mind that the man has put out hundreds of tracks and I only had a very short window of a couple of days to put this mix together...

A couple years later, I put together a downtempo jazz tribute to the man, which you will be able to download on my Soundcloud page soon ;) There is a lot more where this came from and I can create quite a few mixes with only KY tracks, but let's not get carried away for now. 

Anyway, enjoy and let me know what you think!

Kevin Yost Welcome Home (Deep House Mix)

It’s been four long years since Steve Bug’s sublime deep house imprint blessed us with Classics Volume 01 – but when it comes Dessous Recordings – it’s worth the wait. Always ahead of the curve, the German label started as an outlet for the tastemaker and uber producer / DJ Steve Bug’s deeper urges – releasing a seemingly endless supply of fresh, smart sounds from some of house’s most renowned artists. No wonder this retrospective comes across as a celebration of a job well done – within its 20 tracks are some of the mostly finely constructed, emotional and downright dancefloor destroying grooves of this or any decade.  Nestled into its prized running order are indeed many classics, whether they be of the new, old or obscure type.  

Familiar faces make a welcome return – check out the contributions by long time collaborators Phonique, Solomun, Ryo Murakami, Vincenzo, Tanzmann and Stefanik – all dropping the genre defining slices of rich, hedonistic, elegant house music that have made their names in Europe and across the globe. As if proof was required that Dessous hasn’t rested on its laurels, several tracks from the last couple of years feature prominently – witness Moodymanc’s motor-funk detonations, Andrade’s twisted disco and Burnski’s deep pressure vibes.  What’s more, Giles Smiths’ Two Armadillos project takes its rightful place in the canon of classic Dessous releases, alongside vocal contributions by straight-up house legend Robert Owens via Dan Berkson and James What’s ‘Keep On’. 

In its 14 years history, Dessous has ridden a fair few sea changes in the choppy waters of house, yet has always retained its unique identity. Dessous Classics Volume 2 is a timely reminder of how quality wins through. Always relevant, always pushing things forward – here’s to many more years on the cutting edge.
