When you hear that an artist is laying down live drums, percussion, bass, guitar and keys in a home garage studio, deep house is not the first genre that comes to mind. But Liam de Bruin, with a background playing various instruments in soul, funk and punk bands, loves house music!

Working with the Heard and Felt label run by Ennio Styles (3RRR FM/Worldwide FM), Liam is readying an EP that explores live house music from disco, boogie and jazz funk angles. This is music that joins the dots between Roy Ayers, Brit funk, Metro Area and the contemporary Melbourne scene, where Liam was quickly embraced by artists that have inspired him like Close Counters, Horatio Luna, Teymori and Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange. Worldwide acclaim followed, with multiple spins from Gilles Peterson on BBC (including his Best of 2021 So Far) and plays from NTS, KCRW, Bandcamp Weekly and more. Liam has also held down spots in Apple Music's 'New Latitudes' and 'Club Jazz' playlists for months, seemingly propelled by a flood of Shazams every time he gets played on the radio.

The music here was all played and recorded entirely by Liam himself in the Frankston beachside studio which has been his treasured retreat during Melbourne's extended lockdowns. He shows two different but related sides to his warm organic house and disco funk sound here. 'Lavender' embraces more synth tones, with a slinky, sexy, late night feel, while 'Friday Evening' sees Liam get on the guitar too, taking things in more of a jazz funk direction.
