Tomi K, House Party
The Box palaa kehiin muutaman vuoden tauon jälkeen. Rose Gardenista tuttu house/techno ilta.
Dj Deep on pitkänlinjan dj ja labeli pomo Pariisista. Jos joku niin Cyril aka Dj Deep tuntee housen historian ja tulevaisuuden. Deepin nykysoundi on aika pitkälti Berghain / Panorama bar inspiroitunutta housen technon välimaastoa unohtamatta klassikoita.
Tila on pieni eli kannattaa saapua ajoissa mestoille jos aikoo mahtua sisään. Meno alkaa heti kympiltä.

DJ DEEP BIO
A few words on how i see my passion of playing records:
I always had a non-dj approach of djing, in the sense that when playing i am not focussing on making the floor go crazy or focussing on the idea of always keeping the energy level up up up!
But i am very passionate about sharing with the crowd what i think are the dopest records of the moment or the dopest classics.
In that sense i’m not pretending to be “right” or “wrong” and i will not make 100% of everybody happy, but i feel that my duty is to inform people of what’s really hot, would it be timeless classics or brand new records.
I’m always trying to present to people a little bit of the history of “my” beloved House and Techno , as i tend to do so by playing very personal “classics” not the Hits from the past but very unique jams that in my mind represent the essence of what is magic in House and Techno.
I see my job as being a big filter: As a vinyl junky i am in the record stores chasing jams almost everyday, and i am following the movement of what i hear, i mean when Techno was so revolutionary i would play a lot of this, when the NY Deep House sound really expanded that’s what i would actually try and showcase, and nowadays that a lot of the Techno roots is revived in new productions i’m back on my Techno roots playing a lot of brand new amazing Techno records!
A few dates:
About 20 years ago Laurent Garnier gave my first opportunity to DJ: La Luna then club Boy in Paris for the Oz parties, then at club Le Palace for the Zoo parties.
At the same time, I started to host a radio show on radio FG 98.2, everyday from noon to 2 PM. A few years after i invited my friends, DJ Gregory and DJ Alex from Tokyo to join me and the show was then named « A Deep Groove » where you could hear everything from Mos Def to Jeff Mills, but mostly the purpose of the show was to share a true passion for real deep underground House and Techno music.
Around 1994: coming back from NYC where i could finally hear Legends such as Louie Vega or Tony Humphries dj in their own environment, i put together a compilation with the What’s up bar team: « What’s Up Mix It”, incl. Tracks by Dimitri from Paris, DJ Cam, Saint Germain, Gilb’r, and a track produced by Saint Germain and myself (well i did not do much on the track to be honest! ) « Sweet Summer Vibe ».
1995: the famous « Wake up » parties were launched by the French Legend Laurent Garnier at the Rex Club featuring prestigious guests such as Lil’ Louis, Derrick May, DJ Pierre, Ron Trent, Chez Damier, etc. I was a regular « warm up » Dj there.
After playing at Rex Club, one of my biggest mentors, Derrick May invited me to visit him in Detroit so i went over to Techno City, and met a lot of my idols, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin, Stacey Pullen etc…
Soon after I moved from radio FG to Radio Nova, for my Saturday night shows that lasted 5 years.
1997: « the fire » and « the earth » EP’s came out on French label Basenotic under the moniker The Deep, those 12″ were produced by Julien Jabre and myself
1997 also saw the kick-off of the « Legends » parties at the Rex Club, with guests like Kerri Chandler, Frankie Feliciano, Joe Claussell, Tommy Musto, JoVonn, Michael Watford, Nick Jones.
But meeting Kerri Chandler was a unique experience, i have always been the biggest fan of his music and meeting him was like a dream come true, and also the beginning of a great work relationship, visiting him in his studio teached me a lot about how House was produced and how it should sound like†! At the same time i still was busy travelling and playing Deeply Rooted House and Techno†!
Distance music released my first mix cd in 1999 « French sessions », featuring tracks by Kerri Chandler, Blaze, Ron Trent, Ten City, Joe Claussell, etc. Joining forces with the Respect is Burning team in 2001, the mix CD « Respect to Dj Deep » came out (featuring tracks by Masters at Work, Kerri Chandler, Dino and Terry, etc.), followed up by a worldwide tour…
2002: Back on Radio FG 98.2 every Thursday from 11 PM to 1 AM (www.radiofg.com), still busy touring around the world!
2003: Release of my third mix CD, again on Distance (featuring tracks by Kerri Chandler, Needs, Osunlade, Kenny Bobien…) And finally a website!:
