It's a warm-up set at this yuppie-ish bar. the other guy is doing soulful / disco house. i wanna go deeper and possibly rawer but not full-l.i.e.s. or anything. even though i love it and want to play it out i think plan b recordings-type stuff would not connect with this crowd which is pretty wite bread, ditto anything too interplanetary. even like joey anderson / levon vincent type stuff. idk i have some amir alexander tracks to check but in general i don't think i'm comfortable going there yet, this is like my first real gig. rick wade is probably a good reference point as far as the mellow deep end of what i'm thinking. also snappier stuff like vibes & pepper. in general i want to keep some melody, but interesting production or i'll zzzz. my current juno wishlist has like jovonn ian pooley remixes, analogue cops (filter disco), the new ron trent, stl (too basement?), marcello napoletano, the field cupid's head remixes (minimal is ok), pepe bradock, benjamin brunn, tyree (lol, not a lot of acid apreesh in this town as far as i can tell), lord of the isles, le vibes & pepper ep, iron curtis, brad p. all of that's pretty mellow though, i want to reach a high point but i can't really figure out where that is. filter disco? also feel like i'm lacking some good vocals, like i need to pick up some hnny edits or something.

recommendations along these lines appreciated!!

Just look at every Dixon playlist for the last 24 months and pick out the best tracks. Seems like that Innervisions sound is what fits your need.
