If you somehow didn't think Mike Nasty was deep enough with his 2025 album, 'Sketches In The Deep', here's proof wish his new album 'Endless Groove'; point taken in the title!
After the stunning soul/gospel/jazzy house of 'Sketches In The Deep' (see review HERE) with the masssive tracks like 'Sing Your Praise' 'Jungle', 'Copper Tones' and the very nasty (in a good way) 'Nocturne'.
Out on his own Nastry tracks label, the seven tracks (5 originals, two dubs) are proper deep house built on Rhodes chords and jazz voicings, with the R&B harmony that gives the genre its warmth — the vocabulary that carried out of '70s jazz-funk into Chicago basements and never really left. Larry Heard, Kerri Chandler, Moodymann, Theo Parrish: less a list of references than the grammar the record is written in.
'Endless Groove' takes its title seriously. These are tracks built to run rather than resolve — arrangements patient enough to let a chord sit, turn over, and come back around slightly changed. House that works at low volume on a Sunday afternoon and at full weight on a Saturday night, which is the tradition it comes out of.
The two dubs, 'Wanna Dance' and 'Down the Ave' are stripped to their frames for the back half of a night, intended for DJs.
You'll recall the last album opened with 'Jazz Flower' and this one open with 'Infinite Jazz': as the title says, 'Endless Groove'.
