New-York-based Sub-Urban Records, founded by the mighty Tommy Musto and Silvio Tancredi in 1992, was one of the most consistent American garage and vocal house labels of its time. Musto was the driving force behind the label for his exceptional production and remixing work. The label’s first releases by Musto along with Victor Simonelli and Matthias Heilbronn were to set the tone for its outstanding quality with its distinctive solid beat, tight keyboards and soulful, often gospel-tinged vocals. Over the years, Sub-Urban Records has showcased much-loved releases from the likes of Jazz-N-Groove, Deep Zone, Kerri Chandler, Mousse T, Sandy Rivera and many more.

Matthias Heilbronn and Mike Delgado return as Deep Zone Productions alongside regular collaborator Ceybil Jefferies for ‘Praise Him’ on Sub-Urban Records. ‘The Deepzone Club Mix’ of ‘Praise Him (Lift Your Hands Up)’ features gospel vocals and solid grooves, together with the deeper Dub Zone and Dub Prayer mixes. To make this great release even more essential, we have dug into the vaults to present some previously unheard mixes from Deep Zone for the creative DJs tool kit.
