deep house 1993-95

Message Bookmarked

it just happened somehow that my friends offered to pay me for something i'd done for them ...with vynils, instead of money (well it was my idea, but they agreed, 4-5$ apiece).
these friends are the owners of the record shop that closed in 1995, so they have a lot of deephouse records in some secret warehouse.
as the shop closed in 95, the records are approximately from years 93-95.
as i was too busy with H in these years, and there was no time for deephouse, and i'll not be able to listen to the records at the warehouse, and once i take them i can't give them back, so i'm asking for your help:

which names or at least labels i should look for?

should i take the money instead?

Without a listening station you're definitely taking a gamble. Isn't there any way you can take in a record player, mixer, and pair of headphones? Otherwise, it depends on how much you value classic house. Definitely a prime era for the sound.

Artists/Producers:
Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez/"Little" Louie Vega
Eric "More" Morillo
Josh Wink/DJ Wink/Winx
Francois K(evorkian)
Crispin Glover
DJ Duke (sometimes a little too clubby and monotonous, but anything by any artist with a "Homoindustrial Mix"- SNATCH UP...dark, catchy proto-speed garage- really sick stuff)
Was Angel Moraes on to his game by this time?
Dubtribe Sound System
DJ Pierre (hit and miss)

Labels:
The Big Three-
Strictly Rhythm (NYC full-on garage sound)
Nervous/Sorted (still NYC but more edgy- Nervous is more of the club side; Sorted is more ravey, but not as in weak hardcore rave music)
Junior Boys Own (garage from the UK, but not yet UK Garage- yawn)
Others
Jumpin & Pumpin
Organico
Wave
R&S
Hard Hands
Exist Dance

...

Admittedly, this is more of a raver's guide and not so much from a strictly deep house standpoint. From that era, I doubt you'll find too much differentiation unless your mates were really running a specialty shop. Let me know if you find any gems!

I'd add in Nick Holder and his DNH Recordings label.

mmm from what i know, i'll have to travel to the outskirts of moscow to some dusty warehouse and there dig through hundreds of records! so i don't think i can take a player there as i don't drive my own car.
so yes, this will be a gamble. anyway this is the only gamble i'd care for!

thanks a lot :heart:
