Why Innervisions is like a fine wine

Dixon’s Innervisions label has such depth and clarity that if it was a wine, it would be considered a fine vivacious Bordeaux.

This week, Innervisions poured forth two delicately balanced releases of flourishing deep house that will excite the palate of any discerning house music fan.

The first comes from label mainstay Tokyo Black Star, who deliver their much-awaited album ‘Black Ships’, which we first heralded back in January with “the overall feeling of the album is one of connectivity, or rather the search for perpetual connectivity. Having seen the world getting smaller, Tokyo Black Star’s music and imagination seems to extend beyond the rim, into the universe. Like all good electronic music LPs, ‘Black Ship’ glides across an ocean affected by many different musical undercurrents.”

Culoe De Song ‘The Bright Forest’

The second, perhaps more exciting release, is the debut 12” from South African Red Bull Music Academy graduate Culolethu Zulu aka Culoe De Song, who was plucked from obscurity to land on one of the most high profile labels in deep house.

His ‘The Bright Forest’ EP is a dream trip for deep house fetishists, expelling organic drum patterns, African-inspired rhythms and wildlife sounds.

Deep house doesn’t get more refined or seductive, and considering his origins, Culoe De Song’s fresh blood and exotic new ideas may yet come to inspire other labels to take such risks on artists from the peripheries. À votre santé.
