Deep Night by Steve Roach Exclusive

April 2022 Exclusive

Deep Night is the first of many portions from this era I will release here. Drawing from extended live sets recorded on WXPN Stars End show, these hybrid sets occurred from around 1 am till early Sunday morning 3 or 4 am always after a Gathering Concert at St. Mary Church in Philadelphia. I lost track of how many concerts I performed at St Marys over the years, combined with these after concert WXPN radio concerts, its quite something to think back about!

The ritual would be to perform to a packed house - always a great audience! The concert at St Mary's would end around 10:30, a meet and greet would occur as the gear down taken down, load it into the transport vehicle, drive a short distance, move the gear into the radio station, quickly set up, make sure its all up an running and Gathering and Stars End host Chuck Van Zyl would fade me up on air and off I would go.

These sets would often expand into extended flows, 2 or 3 hours long all after performing a full set just a few hours earlier at St Marys! The sets are woven from many elements and periods as you will hear. This set would was from around late 90’s.

Created from a blending of zones, grooves, acoustic looping, remixed elements and various synths. Its was always a deep dreamtime dive after all that occurred earlier in the day and night. Usually the load out of the radio station was with the sun coming up and nothing left on the table. More of these coming over time.
Hope you enjoy and thank you for your support here!
