Steffi – Reasons EP – Underground Quality

From time to time, you stumble across a record that restores your faith in the artform, and for me, this represents deep house in it’s purest form; a delightful three-track EP from Germany-based DJ & producer Steffi, released on Jus Ed’s Underground Quality label.

Steffi is a resident of the world famous Panorama Bar, recording artist of Ostgut Ton, owner of the Dolly label and frequent collaborator with Dexter in the co-running of his Klakson imprint.

The EP kicks off with Reasons, with it’s intricately programmed rhythms and classic retro bassline. There’s something quite charming about the seemingly stark production in this track, coupled with nicely placed vocals courtesy of virginia Hoegl, contemplating whether time stands still when I’m not with you.


The flip side kicks off with my personal favourite from the EP, Fallin, (which featured as the the opening track of my January 2011 podcast) which is a glorious 101-style exercise in deep house. Clearly a master of her craft, Steffi effortlessly blends various layers of shimmering synths and solid pads, which nicely complement the precise drum programming & infectious bassline.


The EP concludes with November, a nice little 90s / retro-sounding house track that brings back memories of ploughing through random 12″s in record shops, searching for those hidden gems…those were the days!


The Reasons EP was released on 12″ vinyl format, and is available from any of the following record shops:
Juno Records
Phonica Records
Boomkat
Piccadilly Records
Chemical Records

DJ Jus Ed Underground Quality Radio 11-01-2011

Underground Quality is a underground house music label from Bridgeport (Connecticut, USA), run by Jus Ed.

This little known label has been slowly but surely been creeping into my record collection over the past few months, with an excellent series of releases from the likes of Anton Zap and Fred P.

November 2010 saw the release of the beautiful Reasons EP by Steffi; a record which has really grown on me and is likely to be at the front of my record box for the majority of this year! Fallin, from this very EP, was the first track featured in my January 2011 Podcast.

..and so onto the mix, 2 hours of upfront underground house music, hosted by UQ label boss Jus Ed. Enjoy!
