So here we are, almost 8 years have passed since this site first went online. I never thought it would take this long to publish the 50th mix, but oh well, quality over quantity right?
But seriously – I’m not going to get sentimental here, don’t worry. 50 mixes, almost the same number of excellent guest set, Henrerick’s monthly show, plenty of specials – DR has become quite an archive of amazing music. So, let me take this opportunity to send a big thank you to all the artist, labels and individuals who make, release and promote this music.
I also like to thank all the good people out there who’ve shown their support to us over and over again. Keep sharing your stories! (Funny enough, I’ve always thought that every mix on this site is a little diary entry.)
And thanks to all the friends I’ve made throughout the years via deeprhythms, you know who you are.
So, the story behind this mix? I wish there was one! I just went and played some of my current favorite tunes, but I guess it’s worth noting that I only realised that I had been spinning for 90 mins when I stopped and looked at the length of the audio file. This music can really take you places 🙂
I just submerged into tracks by Chris Gray (..who has been a major inspiration over the years, support Chris and get his new album), Sevensol & Bender (Kann Records, oh man!), Mr. Done, Deymare, Classic Man and that off the hook remix by FCL (mark my words, We Play House is going to be an influential label) – not forgetting all the rest.
The title of the mix originates from the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, but quite tragically as of today, it now has doube meaning. R.I.P. MJ.
Hope you enjoy it and all the other mixes on this site – let us know what you think!
