Deep Dish

Homegrove

For my money these guys were the best DJs at the turn of the century. Their stuff from back then has certainly aged better than most mixes from that time period, in that there’s way more music in them that still sounds relevant today. So, I started this thread to see if anyone one’s got some gems I’ve missed. My top three mixes from them:

Two first hours from this were aired as their 1998 Essential Mix. Shame the soundquality is not better.

Their GU party in Moscow the Mix CD was based on (I like it, but almost nobody else seems to).

This one’s just a banger:

Mix CDs:

My favorite deep house-mix of all time. I got this 2003 repress just a few years ago, had a CDR copy I made from a friend’s original issue before that.

My introduction to Deep Dish originally. This is still a summer essential for me.

Just my fave mix CD of all time:

Bonus: You can get Yoshiesque Two as a digital release from Juno. It’s the only one that’s available from their good catalogue:

Homegrove undoubtedly great producers back in the day but DJs? Saw them once and they underwhelmed. Their GU was also dire. Flashdance and their remix of Dreams sank the good ship

Are they all the unmixed tracks? Im sure there was a few on there ive been after

Homegrove

nicksneddon nope, unfortunately all mixed.

I’ve got their early stuff with John Selway Moods EP.

The Penetrate Deeper EP was awesome when that dropped.

That Tenaglia remix on Penetrate Deeper 😎

Don’t own any of their mixed CDs but was a fan yoshitoshi back in the day.

Dan loved when they were playing stuff like this - Sir Henry’s down in Cork in 95 they tore the place apart over 5 hours with stuff like this. What a club that was. The doris count was at least 2-1 aswell.

Homegrove

Also their first GU sounds almost nothing like the 6 hours live recording from the Moscow party, the album is at least half tracks that were NOT played at the party.

Saw them loads in the 90s and a few times around 2k, never heard a bad set from them. Saw them destroy Cream, New Years Eve at the Ministry in 98/99, Space in Miami, Pacha. I’d argue there’s only maybe S&D who outdo them as a duo, brilliant DJs. Their remix of EBTG Wrong is a prized 12 incher that I keep in a safe place.

Yoshiesque 1 is indeed a great compilation, although its spoiled a bit by some odd tracks on CD2.

Wasn’t a huge fan of Yoshiesque 2 so maybe I need to give that a re-listen.

I saw them in Pacha, Ibiza in summer 1998 and they were tremendous. They played ‘Chocolate City - Love Songs’ from their Junk Science album as well as some remix of Wham - Everything She Wants. The place went nuts

Mad_Cyril Love the way it builds….they were very accomplished producers in their early 20’s.

They’d completely lost it by 2000 and put out the worst Essential Mix of 2004. But I don’t bemoan them for chasing the money after being committed to the underground for so many years. Get paid, Deep Dish!
