The Deep House Show

Deep House Essentials 2026 — Vol. 01

This is deep house built for rooms, not moments. The kind of groove that welcomes people in at 9pm and keeps its meaning long after 3am. Warm basslines, patient drums, and vocals treated like instruments — present, but never in the way.

There are no big drops here and no borrowed excitement. Just steady pressure, machine-tight rhythms, and soulful restraint shaped by South African deep house sensibility. These are tracks designed to loop, to settle, and to reveal themselves slowly as the night stretches out.

Deep House Essentials isn’t about showing range — it’s about showing control. Music that holds the floor without asking for attention, and lets the room decide how deep it wants to go.

After the Chronicle — Mixtape Edition 321

by Obi-Wan SA

Edition 321 is a quiet conversation held late into the night. It opens in tenderness, with Latin-soul warmth and human voices close to the ear, then slowly widens into something more reflective and modern. This is After the Chronicle in its most intimate form — not trying to impress, but to connect. Louie Vega, Lisa Ono, Anané and Atjazz set a tone of reverence and romance, before Fatso 98, ZuluMafia and Jazzanova introduce grit, memory, and movement beneath the surface.

The mix moves like a slow exhale: moments of devotion, flashes of vulnerability, and rhythms that never hurry the heart. Themes repeat and return, especially in the two versions of That Night, as if the music itself is remembering what it just felt. This is house music for people who have lived, loved, lost, and are still here — not louder, just deeper.

After the Chronicle doesn’t look back with regret. It looks back with gratitude, then keeps walking.

Crates & Cuts — Remastered Vol. 2 | Side A: Speak Lord

A reverent deep house journey rooted in South African lineage and gospel-inflected soul.

Patient grooves, reassuring vocals, and basslines built for grounding and gratitude.

This is music for reflection, movement, and quiet thanks — nothing rushed, nothing forced.



Side A opens in reverence. These selections move like a quiet prayer — not loud, not urgent, but deeply felt. Rooted in South African deep house lineage and gospel-inflected soul, this side honours protection, love, memory, and gratitude. The journey begins with When House Was House, a gentle acknowledgement of origin, before unfolding into moments of devotion and reassurance through Speak Lord and He Keeps Me Safe. As the groove deepens, patience replaces urgency — basslines steady enough to lean on, vocals that soothe rather than demand, rhythms that guide rather than push.



This is music for grounding: for kitchens still warm after cooking, for dancefloors where eyes close and shoulders soften, for late-night moments when movement becomes thanks. Classic soul is re-imagined with care, from Sweetest Taboo to Gypsy Woman, not as nostalgia, but as living memory. The arc closes in cultural affirmation with Nyuku and Hayi Baba, where lineage, rhythm, and modern South African deep house converge without spectacle. Nothing here rushes to impress. Everything here knows why it exists.

Crates & Cuts: Soul Under the Tree

Christmas Eve doesn’t need fireworks.

It needs warmth, funk, and a little faith in rhythm.

This Crates & Cuts session is built for low lights, full kitchens, open hearts, and conversations that stretch past midnight. It’s house music dressed in velvet — soulful, spiritual, and generous with its joy.

From Eric Kupper’s gentle invocation to Atjazz & Shea Soul’s tender farewell, this mix celebrates togetherness without noise. It’s for stirring pots, clinking glasses, hugging aunties too long, and dancing barefoot when nobody’s watching.

There’s gospel in the basslines.

Funk in the footwork.

And gratitude tucked between the kicks.

No rush. No hype. Just music that understands why people gather — to remember, to forgive, to laugh, and to feel at home.

This is Crates & Cuts for Christmas Eve.

Soul under the tree.

Groove in the bones.

Crates & Cuts 808 – Classics Edition (Festive energy)

Crates & Cuts 808 is not a throwback — it’s a reminder.

A reminder that house music was never meant to rush. That groove comes from patience, from dusty records, from DJs who listened more than they spoke. This edition moves through deep house, soulful cuts, jackin’ rhythms, and township funk with the confidence of a selector who knows where the music comes from — and where it still needs to go.

From Freil’s percussive invocation to DJ Mujava’s unmistakable closer, this mix is a celebration of lineage. Chicago to Europe, New York to South Africa, emotion to machinery, church to basement.

Perfect for long nights, year-end reflections, warm kitchens after service, or dancefloors where the lights stay low and the music does the talking.

This is Crates & Cuts:

No trends.

No shortcuts.

Just classics — played with respect, rhythm, and a quiet smile.

The strange and beautiful thing about house music is that it ages like memory: some details fade, but the feeling grows stronger. This mix understands that, and lets it breathe.
