  • Deviate – Manuel Tur & D Play

    Whilst researching turn-tables, I got side-tracked and came across Deviate by German DJ, Mauel Tur and D Play.  And it’s awesome.   Ok, so it doesn’t really do very much, but that’s exactly the reason i love it.  It’s the perfect (but minimal) deep house track that’s going to lend itself very well to my…
