Details: Amazon.ca If the seemingly endless glut of Ibiza compilations are themed, spiritually, in the flashy, trashy fashion of a Club 18-30 package holiday, Deeper is Hed Kandi main-man Mark Doyle's stab at capturing the much more refined sound of a stolen fortnight in a distant, secluded paradise. Over two discs, Doyle veers into melancholy, soulful deep house waters, choosing tracks for their seamless mood-shifts and consistent stylings, and--rather unusually, in the world of house compilations--presenting his selections out of the mix. This, of course, could be seen as a boon for the aspirant DJ of a deep or progressive bent: with tracks such as the Masters at Work remix of Jaffa's "Elevator" or a beefed-up Deep Dish remix of "Always Remember To Respect And Honour Your Mother" by Faithless' main-man Rollo's Dusted side-project presented clean, this is an ideal place to go track-spotting. As it happens, Doyle isn't entirely averse to the commercial tracks where they fit the mould; Rui Da Silva's "Touch Me"--a No.1 in 2000--slides slickly in between the more obscure picks. Hed Kandi are developing a reputation as the compilation pick of choice for the more discerning, mature house enthusiast, and Deeper is no exception. --Louis Pattison
