Deep Motion FM plays underground deep house, jazz house, garage house, downtempo and nu jazz, and it is the flagship channel of Motion FM Worldwide, an internet radio portal based in New York. You can stream it live here on Radio Shuffle, with a schedule of shows from DJs in several countries.
What You Hear on the Deep Channel
Motion FM describes its output on its homepage as streaming live deep house, downtempo, lounge, nu jazz, disco, funk and soul. The station runs three streams: Deep, Lounge and Smooth, the last one devoted to smooth jazz. The deep channel is the one for late-night listening, and the DJ team behind it says it picks "the coolest underground Deep House, Jazz house, Garage House, Classic House, Broken Beat, Downtempo, Nu Jazz, Fusion Jazz grooves," as summarised by the station's New York page and directory listings. myTuner adds that established names such as Kevin Hedge of Blaze and Larry Heard, known as Mr. Fingers, sit alongside emerging talent.
A Collective Scattered Across the Map
The station is less a single studio than a network of hosts. According to myTuner's profile, the DJ collective broadcasts from cities including New York, Zurich, London, Tokyo and Montreal. Named programmes on the schedule include BeatCaffeine Radio with TJ Gorton, whose launch on Motion FM was announced on the BeatCaffeine site, Go Kiryu's Supernatural Radio Show, the collaborative deepArtSounds project and Steve Conry's Ten Lovers Music Radio Show. Motion FM's own events pages also promote live vinyl sessions in New York.
Deep House Without Borders
Deep house grew out of Chicago and New York house scenes and spread through clubs in Europe and Japan, so a station with hosts in Zurich, London and Tokyo reflects the genre's actual geography. The mix here leans toward soulful, jazz-tinged rhythms rather than peak-hour club energy, which suits focus, dinner and the last hours of the night.
