Ross Couch - The Deep End EP
Born and raised in Glasgow, 24-year old Ross Couch has been building a reputation as one of the UK's most exciting up and coming producers. His productions first came to light on the Bellboy and Panther labels where his difficult to pigeonhole brand of dance floor techno and melodic tech house had him being compared in the press to artists such as Deep Dish, Dave Angel, and Slam, with DJ support for his tracks from the likes of Laurent Garnier. In more recent times Ross has stepped up a gear, pushing a more house based sound drawing from deeper and funkier styles while still retaining the drive and energy of his techno productions which has been creating a buzz and helped secure releases on highly regarded labels such as Blaktrax, Kinky Vinyl and Red Melon. Meanwhile DJ's right across the board have been lending their support, from Pete Tong to Tom Stephan, Hernan Cattaneo to Omid 16B, Phil Keiran to Fred Everything, and many more. With a seemingly insatiable appetite for producing quality dance music and an ability to swich effortlessly between the scenes numerous genres it's safe to say that you'll be hearing a lot more from this guy in the future.
Hearts & Minds (A1) This chugger of a track incorporates funked up but relentless rhythms overlayed with melodic pads and thrusting tribal voice as it pushes the dancefloor forward and refuses to let go. Warm techno at it's very best.
La Musica (A2) Funky tech-house reigns supreme with the bassline taking front and center stage on this number. The swirling synth lines criss-cross tensions builds, all the while keeping the pulse locked on.
The Deep End (B1) Big dark room deepness that straddles the line between tribal and tech. A super-low bassline is the engine that moves this train, while the horn rides over the top and works the groove. Dancefloor devastation guaranteed!
