COAST2COAST shifts to the Windy City of Chicago for the third mix in the series, and who better to hold court than the legendary Ron Trent.
The godfather of the deep house sound, Trent selects a truly uplifting and Balearic-tinged mix selection of house on these two double vinyl packs, from the likes of Blaze, Anthony Nicholson, Cassio Ware, Playin 4 The City and some choice productions of his own.
From the lush pads and sweeping pianos of Ron’s own “Love To The World”, to the deep emotive house of Playin 4 The City to the soulful vocal cuts such as the awesome Blaze rework of “What Makes The World Go Round” and the intoxicating sounds of Kimara Lovelace’s “Merry Go Round”, there are deep house sounds aplenty on these two vinyl packs. Reminiscent of Trent’s legendary sets at Miami’s Giant Step parties (and beyond), the rays shine out of every musical pore. Older jams are collected here from Outphaze (an 1988 Italian production that clearly influenced the Ron Trent & Chez Damier sound) and Cassio Ware’s “Baby Love” whilst Ron’s current stable of musicians and producers are represented by Lamaj’s sprawling “Brotherhood…” and Conjure’s deep electronic tones.
