German artist Ruede Hagelstein lands on the Do Not Sit on the Furniture label with three suitably moving and emotive deep house tunes.

Hagelstein became a resident DJ at Watergate, one of Berlin's most popular clubs, and has released on the club's own label as well as Bedrock and Souvenir. This summer he has played with the Do Not Sit crew and now comes correct with this latest EP.

Opener Dort is a lush deep house cut with thoughtful chords and intimate lyrics that make it all the more absorbing as it rolls on and sinks you into a reverie. Drueben is made with Justin Evans and has wispy chords and rubbery, rolling drums that are warm and atmospheric and encourage you to empty your mind of all thoughts. Gestern is the tender closer with more humid pads, twinkling keys and the distant sound of church bells all making for a heart achingly gorgeous mood and groove.

This is an emotionally stirring EP that fits in perfectly with the Do Not Sit ethos.
