Deep Contest ‎– The Ripost EP

the best frenchy in the world off techno/house for me
DEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPY!

I disagree with kompressorkanonen, the 2 tracks he describes as sub-par house.. What's he thinking? One of them at least could never be described as sub-par..

No joke - the track 'Sexual Behaviour' is a classic acid bubbling, organ fuelled techno track that was caned for good reason by Derek May, Laurent Garnier and Dave Angel.
The track has a very tight groove with refief/chicago esque 909 claps and a rising and falling organ line that keeps the track flowing. Throughout, a simple but effective acid line pans from speaker to speaker and injects this amazing track with everything a techno lover would ever want.. It just works!..
Absolutely criminally overlooked and worth buying on site.

It's been on many tapes I have from 15 years ago - Now I now what it is.. Classic track :)

"Sexual Behaviour" and "Underground Life" are somewhat sub-par house which hasn't stood the test of time. However, the B side contains yet another slice of brilliance from Navarre: "Sunday Morning" is an exquisite, very reflective and wonderful deep house track that really captures the essence of a sunday morning mood (sans the hangover). Superb.

This record was the result of the collaboration between Ludovic Navarre and Dj Deep, one of the best french Dj in that time. Dj Deep used to play Chigago House and Garage like no one else in Paris in the beginning of the 90's. He was resident at Laurent Garnier's Rex Club warming up every thursday night with deep grooves from Murk, Strictly Rhythmn et al. The present record is definitely influenced by the wild pitch sound of Dj Pierre. Unfortunately it is just a copycat without the soul of its model !
