Clash DJ Mix – Shelter Point

Nottingham duo with a deftly intricate selection...

'Deep' is an oft-used phrase in electronic music.

The overwhelming resurgence of deep house has found anything with a bit of soul and some hi-hats labelled 'deep' in some regards.

Yet Shelter Point are truly deep. The Nottingham duo are still young yet have a mature awareness of how to use space, how to suggest that vast depths lie behind their work.

There's a soulful edge, too: it's there in the vocal samples they use, but also in the textures and tones they employ. Recently hooking up with Hot Flush for an EP release, Shelter Point have grabbed the attention of Radio 1 host Zane Lowe.

Crafting a mix exclusively for Clash, the duo open with plenty of spacious tempo before giving way to the shudder of classic house. Green Velvet and Oliver $ pair up on 'Dance To My Beat' while Bruises supplies the inimitable 'Foil'.

The vocal samples on Late Nite Tuff Guy perhaps supplies the mix with its main theme, with those distorted words boasting: 'I Get Deeper'.
