DEMARKUS LEWIS — Southern Goods EP

Demarkus Lewis – Southern Goods EP arrives on Flat & Round as catalog FAR02, a 12-inch vinyl entry that slots neatly into the label’s deep house output. Issued on 27 November 2026, the record presents three tracks that echo the genre’s warm, groove-centric aesthetic while promising a solid addition to any deep-house collection. Flat & Round’s recent chronology includes Shawn Ward’s Forward Motions EP (catalog FAR04, 2026), which appeared earlier in the same year. Southern Goods EP follows that release, continuing the label’s focus on polished, dancefloor-ready deep house. The pairing of these two EPs highlights Flat & Round’s commitment to delivering tracks that balance subtle melodic nuance with club-friendly rhythm. The A-side opens with “U-Too”, a track that sets a relaxed yet insistent pulse, establishing the mood for the rest of the record. Its placement primes the listener for the B-side, where “No No No No” and “I See You” continue the deep house vibe. The two B-side cuts maintain a consistent groove, each offering a slightly different tonal shade while preserving the overall flow of the EP. The sequencing from the opening cut to the closing track creates a compact, coherent journey suitable for both late-night sets and more upfront moments. Within Demarkus Lewis’s recent output, the producer has already delivered the “Every Night Remix” on Roots Recordings (catalog ROOTS002 and ROOT002, both 2026). Those earlier vinyl releases showcased a refined take on house fundamentals, and Southern Goods EP builds on that foundation, reinforcing the artist’s reputation for crafting tracks that sit comfortably in the deep house canon while still offering fresh nuance. In the current underground scene, where deep house continues to thrive on both vinyl and digital platforms, this EP stands out as a concise statement of craftsmanship. Its three tracks provide DJs with ready-made tools: a solid opener for building momentum, a mid-set groove that can sustain a dancefloor’s energy, and a closing piece that gently eases the set toward the next transition. For collectors, the record’s reputation as a “must-have” is reinforced by the market’s appetite for original copies, which have been known to change hands for significant sums. The EP’s blend of accessible deep house grooves and the cachet of a Flat & Round release make it a valuable addition to any serious vinyl library. The release is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the format expectations of deep house enthusiasts who favor the tactile and sonic qualities of the medium. Its straightforward presentation aligns with the label’s aesthetic of delivering pure, unembellished house music.
