Behind the Deep House : Release Notes

Glasgow Underground welcomes Mozambique-based duo OLD (Nampula) and Haeslin Royer (Maputo) with Luz — a deep-house record that stood out immediately in a sea of predictable submissions. At a time when house is splitting between stripped Afro grooves, glossy melodic tech, and indie-dance tension, Luz arrives with a sound that feels genuinely fresh. It draws from the wonky, fidget-adjacent electro-house of the mid-2000s — the era when producers rejected classic house templates in favour of oddball synth shapes, crooked basslines, and left-field groove structures. That energy is back, and Luz taps into it beautifully. The record blends: warm deep-house groove a quirky, character-rich bassline beautifully crafted synth elements subtle but emotional vocal textures and chords that give the whole track lift and colour Its the kind of record DJs reach for when they want to sound different, not just functional — perfect for selectors who play Environ, Chicken Lips, early DFA, or the more eccentric side of indie dance. For fans of: Chicken Lips, Environ, DFA, Morgan Geist, early Claude VonStroke Genres: Deep House / Indie Dance / Leftfield House Key Use: Warm-up / early peak / left-of-centre transitions
