TLM055: Deepchild – The Suffering Ones
Featured Artists: Deepchild, Tim Xavier
Preceded by releases on Trapez, Resopal, Affin and Future Classic, Deepchild needs little introduction as one of the most creative producers working today. Blending elements of Detroit techno, Chicago house, Berlin minimal and Kingston dub with his unique Australian ex-pat sensibility, Deepchild’s sound is truly all his own. ‘The Suffering Ones’ is a gritty post-apocalyptic tech-house jam that’s already burning dance floors with its crunchy keys and infectiously bouncing bass line – capped with a vocal refrain sure to strike a chord around the world in this turbulent time. Meanwhile, Clink’s Tim Xavier turns in a drum-heavy minimalist reduction that abstracts the vocals with plenty of effects without sacrificing their inherent focal quality, resulting in a hypnotic remix designed to stealthily slither its way into the recesses of your mind. Deepchild’s regular sets at Berghain seem to be wearing off on his productions, and ‘The Untold’ is destined for big room action, a rumbling late-night workout that seamlessly combines elements of modern techno and UK funky with its low-slung bass, highly swung percussion, and deeply modified vocal treatments – culminating in an unforgettable breakdown before returning in full swing. Introducing two of our favorite artists to the Thoughtless family, we couldn’t be more pleased…
