Deep House Volume 6 – Back to the Deep is a return to the roots of classic deep house. Smooth grooves, hypnotic rhythms, and lush atmospheres come together in this immersive journey into the underground. From minimal late-night vibes to rich soulful textures, this album captures the pulse of deep house in its purest form – raw, emotional, and irresistibly danceable. Let yourself sink into the flow.

Nocturnal Frame

A quietly vital presence in Italy’s underground electronic scene, Nicola Penna — better 
known under a constellation of aliases including Future Jazz Ensemble, Nico Disco, and 
Nasty Boy — returns with a new chapter under his NBI moniker: Alphawaves, a four-track EP 
of introspective, deeply musical club material on Burnin Music. 
Drawing on the dreamlike textures of early Italian deep house and the emotive pulse of 
Larry Heard’s productions, Alphawaves is an ode to mood and movement. Each track feels 
spiritually guided — a reflection of Penna’s rare craftsmanship as a multi-instrumentalist, 
and a welcome deviation from over-quantized electronic music. 
These aren’t just club tracks; they are meditations in rhythm. Opening with lush pads, loose 
percussion, and warm basslines that recall the golden age of Italian Dream House, the EP 
also carries a timeless, soulful energy found in Penna’s previous work for labels like Sähkö, 
Native Tongue, and Ten Lovers Music. The tracks unfold patiently, inviting dancers and 
listeners alike into a space that feels both intimate and cosmic. 
Despite a discography that spans over a decade and several underground classics, Penna 
remains something of a well-kept secret. Alphawaves is a perfect entry point into his world 
— understated yet powerful, rich in detail, and impossible to pin down. At once nostalgic 
and futuristic, this is house music with a human touch. 
Essential listening for fans of Larry Heard, Don Carlos, or anything that blurs the lines 
between ambient, jazz, and deep house.
