Deep Incantations Trilogy Vol 1

Born less than an hour from Chicago but now based in Detroit, Rick Wade cut his DJ teeth in Michigan’s Nectarine Ballroom in the 80s and early 90s. Wade’s sound is more rooted in deep house but there’s a cosmic spirituality and otherworldliness to his music. We kick off with ‘Groove Tool’, powered by a funky bassline and floating chords. ‘Pimp Prophecy’ boasts disco swagger with a guitar riff and bongo bashing. ‘Jazzy Tears’ has a sturdy kick and jazzy chords. ‘Ooo Ahh’ is the catchiest with a shuffling beat and infectious hook.
