The Best Deep House Mixes of 2019
2019 has been a huge year in so many ways for deep house and house music mixes in general. The continuing decline in Soundcloud users and in turn listeners coupled with the shifting sands of social media algorithms making it ever harder to reach an audience as a DJ and to find new ones of quality as a listener. Meanwhile Mixcloud shifted focus with its Mixcloud Select subscription service and take downs across the board got more and more frequent, seeing many regular mix series’ ending their runs. But not all is gloom and doom folks! So, as we approach the end of 2019 I thought I’d take the chance to look back at what have been the Best Deep House Mixes of 2019 in my opinion and give you an essential guide to what you should be listening to other than my own mixes.
So what are the Best Deep House Mixes of 2019?
Deeper Shades of House
Mixed by Lars Behrenroth
Everyone will have heard the long running, always quality weekly deep house radio show from Lars Behrenroth. Is love of African rhythms and long, long track blends are a joy and for those that like to watch him at work, he also live streams his sets.
Colour and Pitch Sessions
Mixed by Sumsuch
Colour and Pitch head boy, Will Sumsuch has his monthly series - a regularly great selection of the best deeper house and a good range of sounds reflecting Will’s eclectic taste and influences, from Ready Mix, to BBE and Unquantize.

Profound Sessions
Mixed by Craig Turner
Ibiza Live Radio
Profound Sessions is always packed with quality deeper tracks, smooth grooves, slo-mo beats and deep bubbly bass. Each week features a mix from Craig Turner or a featured DJ guest. Airing on Ibiza Live Radio a nod to the quality you can expect as perhaps the best online radio station out there with real time-served pedigree.

Defected Radio Show
Mixed by Sam Divine
What can you say about Defected Radio? DJ Mag’s Label of the year and their weekly podcast series is a regular on my commutes. Packed with new tunes, and yes maybe a little biased towards the label’s output and it’s associated labels - but you know what you’re getting, up-beats quality house beats that will get you moving.

Batavia Records
Ibiza Live Radio
The first Sunday of the month sees Batavia Records drop a new mix on Ibiza Live Radio - always smooth, mellow in places and well worth a listen on the beach.
