Dessous Recordings has been a buy-on-sight label for years now - the German imprint started by Steve Bug has grown a fierce reputation of quality underground deep house in all its guises. Following on from the essential Dessous Classics collections, The Classic Remixes pulls together 17 stunning reworks that have graced the label in the last few years - the track list reads like a who's who of the underground.
The wealth of talent is breathtaking - from the producers who have helped define the label's sound and aesthetic - including Phonique, Two Armadillos, Ryo Murakami, David Durango and Moodymanc - to the exceptional remixes provided by the likes of The Revenge, Sascha Dive, Andre Lodemann, Larry Heard, Morgan Geist, and label boss Steve Bug himself. Each of the 17 tracks represent a slightly different take on the Dessous vibe - from the warm and lush groove of house originator Larry Heard who takes on Glowing Glisses 'On the Bridge', to Tiefschwarz's unhinged rework of Phonique's 'The Red Dress'. Elsewhere, Morgan Geist works his NY magic on Phonique and Erlend Øye's 'Casualties', while Djulz pulls out all the stops on his stellar take on Andrade's 'Face de Bouc'.
Previously only available over numerous 12inches and single releases, The Classic Remixes gives newer fans and die-hard supporters alike the chance to enjoy the full spectrum of Dessous's extensive remix output. Dive in and enjoy the sound of a highly influential label at the peak of its creativity.
