Vibrations and frequencies of Chicago, Detroit and West London permeate “IF IT AINT DEEP,” the new 6 track mini-LP from Ric Miranda. The tracks, created in the first two weeks of 2024, make for deep, late-night listening. They range in style, touching on Detroit Techno, Broken Beat, and Deep House – all musical movements that have influenced Ric’s musical journey. The title came about because of the rigidity of the sub genre category that Ric’s records are always placed in at record stores.
“IF IT AINT DEEP” is the 18th vinyl release on Noble Square Recordings.
“No Desires” features Roland drum sounds against a wash of synth chords and a rubbery lead and was created as a musical work out.
“Lost Skills” was also created as an exercise of sonic frustration and features a hollow arpeggiated lead over dirty chords and a low slung bassline. “If It Aint Deep” takes things a bit deeper with a feeling of late night scenes of passing lights and nostalgic memories of the future. “Day 2 Forget” is a more funky style that contains vibrations of both Chicago and Detroit. “Josette” is another fusion composition with layers of Latin rhythms, epic strings and atmospheric sounds.
“Vibe Conduit” completes the “IF IT AINT DEEP” mini LP with broken beats, crashes, splashes and a deep dub bass.
