Trusted Rhythm Vol. 1 / Various [12" Vinyl]

Trusted Rhythm Records seeks to live up to it's name right from the off with a debut vinyl compilation that explores deep house from multiple angles. Yuu Udagawa first comes at things from a soulful perspective, with diffuse pads and jazzy melodies heating up a nice soft groove. DFRA's 'Give Me' (remixed by Masaki Morii) is a playful, musical sunset sound for when you're dancing by the Med somewhere. The flipside begins with a tropical deep house heater that is organic and baked in sunlight. Trinidadian Deep keeps things dialed in and spiritual with his mix of Jean-Jez, and a Coflo remix closes with more bold rhythms but no lesser depth. Sophisticated stylings all round.
