Curated by humans
Moomin
Sweet Sweet
Soft-focus deep house with a gentle pulse and plenty of air in the mix. It works because it never pushes too hard; the emotion comes through texture, swing, and a carefully held mood.
STL
Silent State
Dusty, low-lit house music with the edges blurred in all the right places. The attraction is not a hook but a pressure field: small details, muted swing, and a mood that keeps folding in.
Chaos In The CBD
Midnight In Peckham
A modern deep house staple that carries jazz warmth without drifting away from the floor. It is polished, melodic, and still rooted in a selector-friendly sense of restraint.
Cab Drivers
Lowrider
A tight example of the dubby, rolling end of 90s tech house: economical, physical, and built for long blends. It gives the archive a useful bridge between deep house warmth and stripped club pressure.
Delano Smith
Time Is Right
Unshowy Detroit-rooted house with a clean line through it. The record moves with control rather than force, making it ideal for the part of a set where momentum is being earned, not announced.
Akufen
Deck The House
Microhouse at its most elastic: clipped fragments, bright edits, and a groove that keeps changing shape without losing the floor. It is useful context for the more detailed, textural side of club music.
DJ Sprinkles
Grand Central, Pt. I (Deep Into The Bowel Of House)
Deep house as memory work: slow, reflective, and full of space between the drums. It sits naturally in Etto because it treats the club as a place of feeling, not just function.
Roman Flügel
Geht's Noch?
A strange, wiry club record with a hook that feels almost mechanical. It brings a different angle to the queue: less warm and sleeve-worn, more oddball pressure and early-2000s tension.
