Behind the Deep House : Release Notes

With Adventures of the Past Volume 1, Markus Sommer opens the door to a personal archive of music that nearly stayed hidden. Written and produced between 2015 and 2021, these tracks were once lost in the process — unfinished chapters, hard-drive memories, sketches from different moments in life — before eventually finding their way into the world. Rather than presenting a polished snapshot of one specific period, Adventures of the Past Volume 1, feels like a collection of time capsules. Across ten tracks Sommer moves between deep house warmth, electro shades, UK garage rhythms, experimental and minimal details and understated club functionality. The result is intimate and free-flowing: music that carries the memory of its own making. There is a strong sense of honesty throughout the release. These are not tracks forced into a single concept, but pieces that reflect different emotional and musical moments — small flashbacks from the studio, preserved with their own character. Some cuts lean into dancefloor energy, others feel more reflective or leftfield, but together they form a loose diary of sound: playful, humble, personal and rooted in the underground language Sommer has built around his work as a DJ, producer and label head. Mastered by Sommer himself and accompanied by his own photography, Adventures of the Past Volume 1, keeps the presentation close to the source. It is music shared without over-explanation: a gesture of release, memory and connection. Or, in the spirit of the original note behind the record — stay humble, share music, love and peace.
