I admit I was slightly sceptical of UK duo Deepgroove (Lee Pattison and Grayson Shipley) before they even got on – I was ready to spend another hour liquoring up for the dancefloor, but I can safely say that these boys blew away my bitter old expectations. Lucky punters at Zouk on Friday (well, the ones who were still conscious and/or not being hauled out by security) will agree: they were sh*t-hot fantastic. There’s something sleekly saucy about a relatively new DJ outfit who can pull off overplayed house anthems (namely a banging remix of Miss Kittin single ‘Silver Screen Shower Scene’) without seeming like they need to win you over. Deepgroove aren’t just one-hit-househeads – they churned out a sickeningly good 4hr+ set without breaking a sweat, running the gamut from minimal tech to genre du jour fidget. Pattison and Shipley are seasoned remix masters – their re-edits have an inimitable edge over the wave of aspiring electro/fidget house DJs flooding out of Italy (think Clark Able and the ubiquitous Crookers). Earlier this year these guys put out a debut single ‘The Deacon’ on fidget-head Jesse Rose’s (the culprit behind the infectious ‘Itchy Dog’) very own label Madetoplay; we’re excited to see what happens next. Here’s hoping they head back here soon.
