“Repetitive loop with that perfect Deep House bounce — a proper weapon.”
Why I Stock This Record
This is a collection of classic Deep House cuts from Chez Damier. The standout track for me is “Track 3”, which I regularly play when I want that hypnotic, repetitive loop with real bounce and groove.
It’s got that pure, stripped-back Deep House feel that works beautifully in warmer or more hypnotic parts of a set. The whole record has a timeless quality that still sounds fresh today.
If you’re a vinyl DJ into proper Deep House with depth and swing, this reissue is a must-have for the crate. Clean copy and plays strong every time.
Review
There's very little collaborative work by Chez Damier and Ron Trent, especially the cuts they made during the days of Prescription Records, that isn't timeless and top-drawer. You could certainly say that about the four tracks that make up 1994's now reissued Hip To Be Disillusioned Volume 1. The untitled opener is loopy, deep and hypnotic in their trademark early morning style, while the track that follows - a version of Primitive Arts LP cut 'Sometimes I Feel Like' - is a little warmer and more positive in tone but no less chunky and locked-in. The flipside opens with a rolling, early morning loop jam (think deep, chunky bass, delay-laden synth stabs and crunchy drums), while the closing cut is a wickedly stripped back version of previous single 'I Feel The Rhythm'.
