UM presents: Di Costa

Constantin Dimov (Di Costa and also know to some as Twister at the dawn of his DJ-career) comes from Sofia, Bulgaria. His MoodyLushiousInfluences radio show on WestRadio every first Saturday is one of my favourite shows, so I thought I'd get the fella on the series and introduce him to you…

Retail Therapy - 15.06.12

A busier week and no mistaking this week in the wonderful world of deep house delights. And as usual I've been casting my eye over the tunes on offer, many of which haven't made it into the retail lists of the majors - and it's even nicer to see a growing number of the releases being on vinyl too!

VA Elements: Water - BEEF Records
Classy EP from BEEF especially Dilby's track featuring Lowqui.

Deep Spelle - Nothing To Say EP - Lens Media

Ooooh, now this ones been on rotation in HQ  a while now, check the Original for the real deal if you ask me!

Tim Andresen - Baila Mas - What Happens
Latino flavours on label owner Tims latest.

Mark Wells & Tom Brady - Reality - Savoir Faire Musique
Dramatic sounds on this one, the original and Desos remix hitting big but it's Soul Sways remix that does the business for me with it's deeper groove.

Down By Law - On The Edge - Oh So Coy Recordings
Oh So Coy's very own brand of deepness keeps delivering ear-catching release. Dan Auret doing the business for me on the latest.

Jerry K - Recreation EP - Snake Beat Records
Quality EP of deep and chunky main room house moods.

Audio Analysts - L.A. Groove EP - Something Different Records
Some seriously moody deep tech house on SDR, check out the Sergio Santos & Tamer Malki Remix.

Sarp Yilmaz - Outcast - Alma Soul Music
Dense, multi-layered house on the new one from Alma Soul.

Jesus Pablo & Adam Brass - Jet Lag - iRecords
JP's latest on iRecords, where he's joined by HouseRiders another iRecords fav right now, combining with style on this mellower vibe.

The best of the rest…

With releases on labels including BEEF Records, Behaviors, Quantized, Tapas Recordings, Arabica and more he's received support from the likes of DJ Sneak, Nick Curly, Paco Osuna, Terry Grant and Alex Dolby.
