On The Boogiedownload: Mix 003 by Judea Stonez (Deep House)

On The Boogiedownload :: Mix 003 (Deep House- Descent #1) :: Judea Stonez

Our third installment of the BBD podcast series comes from local house guru Judea Stonez. If you’re a regular reader on here you may remember a brief write-up I did on Judea last month on one of his “Question Why” EP he released. Balancing both DJ-ing as well as producing with finesse, Stonez’s taste for soulful deep house grooves shows whether it’s an original production or a mixtape he’s slingin’. I’m definitely happy to have him lay down a mix for this series!

This mix, nicknamed by Stonez as “the Descent #1” keeps the tempo a little slower and more laid back; pretty much all of the songs on here are filled with rhodes, pianos, and pads hitting lush combinations of black and white keys. Very soulful stuff indeed; most of the tracks are minimal on the vocals (which honestly the way I like it, I’ve never really been into full-on vocal house) and the tracks are fairly upfront.

Many people argue that there are very few people pushing the sound of quality deep house music forward in Boston these days…regardless of whether or not this theory holds water, Stonez is certainly one of those cats promoting and producing quality house music on the regular.
