CHEZ DAMIER — Untitled E.p.

Chez Damier – Untitled E.P. KMSV049 arrives as a 12-inch vinyl on KMS, revisiting the deep house classic originally cut in 1993. The reissue, timed for a November 2026 release, brings Chicago’s seminal producer back into contemporary focus, offering three tracks that still feel as fresh as they did three decades ago. Within the KMS catalogue, Untitled E.P. follows a string of pivotal releases: the “Good Life LP” by Inner City (KMSV003) and Chez Damier’s own “I Never Knew Love” (KMSV004) both appeared earlier in 2026, while the label’s sampler outings and the “Detroit” EP (KMS313) predate them. Positioned after these foundational records, the new pressing reinforces KMS’s reputation for deep house milestones. Side A opens with “Chez A. Untitled” (A1), a track that anchors the record with a steady groove that invites seamless mixing into the deeper sections of a set. The B-side begins with “Chez B. Untitled” (B1), a continuation of the same hypnotic pulse, offering DJs a smooth transition point that maintains momentum. Closing the record, “Chez C. Untitled” (B2) extends the mood, providing a reflective close that works well for late-night moments or as a bridge to more melodic material. For Chez Damier, this EP sits alongside a prolific 2026 output that includes the “I Never Knew Love” EP on the same label and a series of 12-inch releases on Recordings, Prescription Records, 20/20 Vision, Fresh Meat, and Master Jams. The artist’s recent “Tonight in Tunisia Remixes” and “Hip To Be Disillusioned Vol. 1” illustrate a continued commitment to deep house’s evolving language, making the Untitled E.P. a logical touchstone in a busy year. In the broader context of underground electronic music, the record underscores the durability of Chicago’s deep house aesthetic. By resurfacing a work that has long been cited as a key moment in KMS’s history, the EP offers both historical reference and fresh material for current producers and DJs who value timeless groove. From a DJ’s perspective, the three tracks provide versatile tools: the opening cut supplies a reliable foundation for building a set, the middle track sustains energy without overstating, and the final piece offers a subtle wind-down or a looping element for extended mixes. Collectors will appreciate the continuity of sound across the three cuts and the chance to own a piece of deep house heritage that has been out of print for over five years. The release is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the original format and preserving the analog warmth that deep house enthusiasts prize. Its straightforward presentation respects the original aesthetic while delivering a reliable medium for both crate-diggers and club-room practitioners.
