UnderDeep 109 — The Transition: From Summer Heat to Autumn Soul
As the last echoes of summer fade, Chino VV returns with UnderDeep 109.
A masterful blend that bridges the warmth of long days with the introspection of cooler nights. This episode is not just a mix—it’s a reflection. A sonic postcard from a season of connection, rhythm, and shared energy.
Across the past few months, UnderDeep has travelled through beaches, rooftops, and backrooms, gathering the spirit of soulful and Afro-deep house into a single, seamless expression. Episode 109 captures that essence—deep grooves, textured percussion, and melodies that breathe both nostalgia and renewal.
From Sef Kombo’s stirring “In The Center” featuring Zola Marcelle, to Thakzin, Atmos Blaq, and Mpho.Wav’s electrifying “Imali Yephepha”, this set glides through intricate rhythms and emotional highs. Ezel’s “Push 2 Start” and beatsbyhand’s “SAPS” keep the momentum alive, while Jullian Gomes’ “Let Me Go (Yoruba Soul Mix)” delivers that unmistakable Afro-soul pulse.
Each track feels intentional—part of a greater story. Caiiro’s “Drummotions (The Mike Dunn Movement Mix)” shakes the foundations with percussive brilliance, Bontan’s “Forever” rides a hypnotic groove, and Oskido’s “Tsa Ma Ndebele Kids”—reimagined through Manoo’s remix—pays homage to African roots and dancefloor legacy.
UnderDeep 109 stands as a testament to how sound evolves with emotion. It’s about movement and reflection—from sunlight to moonlight, from energy to introspection. And as Chino layers Exte C, Atjazz, Hanna, Oveous, and more into the narrative, we’re reminded that this music doesn’t end; it transforms.
So, as the season shifts, plug in and drift through this episode. Let the transitions guide you. Let the rhythms remind you of where you’ve been—and inspire where you’re going.

Adapted Artwork — “Solar Groove” by Toyan Creative Studios
The visual identity of UnderDeep 109 is brought to life through Toyan Creative Studios’ adapted artwork, “Solar Groove – Echoes of the Drum.”
“Solar Groove” radiates the warmth and contrasts of Africa. A faceted profile emerges from golden and orange circles that vibrate like percussive hi-hats in a deep house track. Dotted textures bring movement and depth, embodying the fusion of ancestral vision and Afro deep house energy. This artwork transforms rhythm into light, celebrating both silence and sound — mirroring the pulse and emotion of Chino’s mix.
The artwork is now available at www.toyancreativestudios.com.
