hello,

„A Deeper Shade“, produced by Case Woo and originally released on CD only in 2001, will soon be reissued as a double 12“ vinyl. It will come with a full-cover print of the original artwork, as well as an insert with photos of young Case in the studio and a list of the equipment that was used to record this album.

Back then, this release was hailed as the definitive and only full-length Deep House / Tech House album to emerge from the tiny island of Singapore, by one of the pioneers of the local electronic music industry.

Case himself states: „I was introduced to the Deep House genre in 1999 and it was love at first listen, pure magic! What began as a spark of inspiration soon led to a month of self-imposed studio isolation - a journey of immersion, expression, and devotion to a newfound sound. The outcome of that creative dive is „A Deeper Shade“.“

The tracks „Polyester Cookies“ and „Subliminal“ were picked up by transport recordings for TSP008 in 2000/2001 and are getting rare & expensive these days. Now you can get the whole album on wax for the first time - 65 minutes of pure deepness that stood the test of time!

All colours are beautiful.
Every colour triggers different associations, emotions, memories, …
That’s why sounds like dedicates each episode to a different colour: from bright to dark, and pastel to neon. Linda and Pascal welcome you to the musical and emotional prisma that is sounds like. Let’s discuss, listen & enjoy!

Oliver Bradford - Unreleased
coming in around 2:50 till 6:20

The Testpress Santa dropped me this forthcoming goodie under my tree, containing 4 electrifying rollers from a true master of deepness - Oliver Bradford. After many spins between the years I’m super happy that one of the tracks found its place in this mix. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Keep your eyes peeled for the 12“ announcement next friday via wordandsound.

Lakkes... IsBurning #139

The Kongress OG’s @its-me-violetta & @lakkes came through with a big mix. Tripped out vibes, percussive drive, guaranteed braindanceability :) Both are currently making waves in the big B, playing Panoramabar and starting their own party series: Sandwich - But for Aachen locals these two had legendary status way before all that.

"Sounds Like" first aired on THF Radio over five years ago. To celebrate more than 70 episodes, we put together a very special show and bar night at Torhaus with nine DJs, most of whom had previously appeared on sounds like, playing eight hours of music.

Lucas Depta served us a #ff0000 red hot vinyl-only set.

The reimagined version of our closing set at La Nature Festival 2025 is finally here :')

We had to dig deep into our memory/collection to remember & find the tracks we played, as unfortunately the original recording was lost. This really took some time, and we even had to go through old invoices from recordshops to figure out what we had in our bags! :D.... It's not 3 hours, but we're 100% sure that all the tracks in this set were also in the one we played at La Nature.

We're not usually fans of reimagining DJ sets, but we wanted to give it a try as this gig is easily one of our favourite DJ moments ever.

We hope you enjoy it and that we can do all of this again someday :')

One love to @noname_community
