Introducing “Abel” Our newest deep house hero!

Welcome to the family Abel!

ROUGH OR SMOOTH offers an emotive body of electronic music. A taste for deep, electronic house music and a passion for traveling sets Abel’s table with a full plate of inspiration, enabling him to dive deeper into his music production. The album features few with Abel standing strong as the main sound provider. Inviting old friend and former studio partner CRAIG JAMES to participate and subsequently MARCEL NOUVEAUX, a soul vocal artist from West London now residing in Sweden.

This album also sees a wonderful cameo appearance from his 7 year old son ELLIOTT. ATJAZZ features throughout the album in differing roles, key to guiding Abel through his process and assisting with additional keyboards and production. Being the Son of a Jazz musician it’s really no wonder his music carries depth, emotion and style yet he incorporates his love of the moody ‘Deep House Sound’ circa 1998, very warm and rather gritty!. An early drifter and never finding comfort sitting still or settling in one place for too long, he found peace in moving continuously through Europe, mainly traveling around France, Austria and Holland. Years later, a chance meeting in Croatia connected Abel with Atjazz, they linked up and worked out two singles.

These releases were suspended pending an album in the making and… “Rough Or Smooth” was born! This is a true journeyman’s Deep House album, generating evocative and stimulating sounds for both the clubber and the specialist looking for a little more depth in their House Music collection.

At One – Low Swung Deep House Master!

Back after a short hiatus, At One slaps us awake with “Lucid Perceptions”

Yoruba Records & ARCo. mainstay ‘At One’ is known for his well balanced, well loved productions. His ability to deliver wide sonic spaces and deep depth of sound is unmatched in his arena. Lucid Perceptions is a picture of his soul and skill, this EP is a fundamental necessity for the modern afro-tech house head. Three perfectly designed, weighty chunks of spiritual dance music with amazing density. Solid!

Ben Gomori – Monochord, Tough Deep House!!

One of the UK’s house music backbones and a stand up producer & supporter of good music overall Ben Gomori joins the ARCo. family with this incredible 2 song release.

Brilliantly crafted House Music delivered with finesse. In places these two songs cover the deeper side of house music but can be definite and aggressive to keep your dance-floor busy. Let’s face it, deep house isn’t what it used to be and it is currently being dragged through the commercial market but with this superb release Ben has comfortably brought that sound we love and keep in such high regard back to its original space. ‘Monochord’ is punchy, edgy & flowing and is well coupled with ‘Be About It’, a more thoughtful and rootsy number that you won’t struggle to fit into your sets either, this is just very good music!

This is a great label debut from a very talented man. This is a must have in your collection.

At One lands heavy with La Musica

Ever progressing with his sound, ARCo. & Yoruba Records regular At One slaps an intense and catchy head-nodder on us in the form of La Musica. Lovingly produced layers of lush leads and spiritual vocal drops would allow this perfect sound-scape to do well as an ambient ensemble alone, but with this guy behind the music, we will always be lavished with the heaviest and most solid of beats.

In typical At One style this storm of beats thunder throughout and they hold a groove that is incredibly hip shaking. This is a very different kind of house music and this is At One at his finest. An additional dub for La Musica lightens up the vibe on the release with doubled melodies and top-end percussion to give this release a well-polished finish.
