Deep Clicks Presents: VA – Warm Waves, Vol. 2
Deep Clicks returns with the second installment of its Warm Waves series, a compilation that solidifies the label's commitment to the most introspective and organic strands of deep house. Ten tracks from ten different producers build a cohesive sonic journey, with BPMs ranging deliberately from 106 to 128, creating a narrative that moves effortlessly from contemplative listening to the dance floor.
Release Highlights
- Adrift (Dub) – CVBA: At 8:30 minutes and 115 BPM in Ab Minor, this dub version opens the compilation with patient, atmospheric textures that set the tonal mood for everything that follows.
- Morena Lefalla – DeepSlave M: The slowest cut in the selection (106 BPM, A Minor) and one of the most expressive. Its groovy cadence and seven-minute runtime make it the most cinematic moment of the album.
- Liebchen Flower – Loxion OsnoTvni: In G Minor at 118 BPM, this 7:36 track blends detailed percussion with subtly evolving melodic layers — a masterclass in contemporary deep house craftsmanship.
- Gustavo (Dark Mode) – Comfort Deep: The title says it all. Rooted in D Minor with a dense groove, this dark rework delivers the most tense and club-oriented moment of the entire compilation.
- Blank Page – DJ Mopapa: The only track in C Major, giving it a particular luminosity within a tracklist dominated by minor keys. Nearly eight minutes of emotional, organic house music.
Context and Assessment
With Warm Waves, Vol. 2, Deep Clicks proves there is a strong market for deep house without artifice. Without marquee names, the compilation stands on the artistic consistency of its curation. Tracks like DJ Cocodil's Message From the Sea (A Minor, 117 BPM) and Lenco's Heavy Heart (G Minor, 118 BPM) reinforce the label's identity: unhurried groove, restrained emotion, and sound engineering that favors analog warmth over digital impact. Essential listening for quality late-night sets and sophisticated opening slots.
