hey guys, just been offered a spot at a local bar/club, but the crowd is mostly lounge/ deep funky house kind of thing...
ive been into minimal alot these past few months, completely lost touch with house music... does anyone have any good record suggestions? guys like jason hodges, jacob london, joey youngman etc?
or do you know of any netlabels out there dealing specifically with house music. would help alot
thx

Firstly, congratulations on the gig. Way to be.
Deep house, eh? That's cool. My favorite Deep House producer is Blue 6. Good deep sounds there. Look up "Music and Wine." Miguel Migs is good as well. I've always liked Thomas Bangalter and his many projects, but he isn't so much deep as fun. He does have the funk, though. Luomo is more techno than house, but she still has a groove. In general, the Naked Music label produces some good house.
If you want to stay minimal, Matthew Dear and Akufen go without saying. I'm not so much in the know about microhouse, though.

I would say since you have gotten into minimal show it to the crowd. Give them the sound they want but give the minimal flavor. There is plenty of really good netlabel music that a crowd like that would love if given the chance. A great starter into the funk realm would be Neutron Funk - Paul Keeley off the Epsilonlab netlabel. Also check out the two newest releases off epsilonlab because they are deep, minimal but deep. Hope this helps.
