Sweet Abraham

Rhythm-forward, Sweet Abraham's music pulls deep house, soul, and jazz into structures built on Rhodes, analog systems, and live and programmed drums. Written, recorded, and cut as physical artifacts in a single room. Toronto-born, he debuted on London's Defender in 1997, releasing his first album on the label's Nitedance imprint the same year. The Spreading Outward EP for Chicago's Deep4Life followed before founding Diaspora Recordings with Asya Shein during their overlapping time in Detroit. Based at Goya Music's West London complex during the label's most prolific years and at the center of the broken beat scene, he built a catalog that drew Carl Craig and Kenny Dope as remixers and gave early solo platforms to Peven Everett and Lady Alma. A collaboration with Lars Behrenroth produced the piece that has opened Deeper Shades of House for more than twenty years. Present work is created at the studio base in New York. All works including the Diaspora archive collect at deepbasic.com.
