Deep 6 Syndicate Rekindles the Soul of the Underground with Jak Attack EP
@StrobeRecords  6 tracks | Featuring Ron Allen, Demarkus Lewis, Mike Shilling

In a world where deep house often gets diluted by trends, Deep 6 Syndicate serves up a pure, unfiltered dose of the genre’s roots and future with the Jak Attack EP — a 6-track journey that bridges Chicago grit, Detroit soul, and 21st-century minimalism. Helmed by Ron Allen—the Canadian deep house pioneer and head of Strobe Records—alongside UK house technician Demarkus Lewis and Mike Shilling, this EP is a blueprint for timeless underground heat.

🎧 1. Jak Attack (Demarkus Lewis & Mike Shilling Mix)

Kicking things off with a 909-fueled statement, this mix is a high-octane tribute to the warehouse legacy of Detroit and Chicago. Demarkus Lewis brings his signature UK polish, while Mike Shilling locks in a groove that pulses like a Third Rail current. It’s raw, it’s hypnotic—and it jaks just right.

🎧 2. Jak Attack (Ron Allen Deepa Mix)

Ron Allen's take is all dream-state elegance: deep, melodic, and subtly cinematic. This is headphone house at its finest—lush chords float over a minimal rhythm section that feels both meditative and movement-ready. It’s the afterhours flip side of the original’s raw punch.

🎧 3. On & On (Hustlin Mix)

A certified gem from the Strobe vaults, this 2007 re-release is drenched in soul. Ron Allen blends a warm, funky bassline with a hypnotic female vocal loop that oozes emotional resonance. This one rides—no need for a drop when the groove is the payoff.

🎧 4. On & On (Ron Allen Remix)

Stripping things down and sending it into the future, Allen’s remix transforms the original into a lean, sub-heavy minimal tech groover. With eerie pads and chopped vocals haunting the mix, it’s a deep space journey for dancers and diggers alike.

🎧 5. Depth (Deeper Mix)

This one lives up to its name. Allen delivers a deep house meditation built on shimmering synths, low-end warmth, and just the right touch of melodic melancholy. For DJs building sets that tell stories, “Depth” is a must.

🎧  6. Deeper Into You (Ronnie’s Demo Mix)

Unreleased until now, this early demo shows Allen’s raw brilliance. Moody, sparse, and emotionally charged, it’s the kind of late-night track that feels like a secret whispered through the monitors. Equal parts intimacy and intensity.

The Jak Attack EP isn’t just a record—it’s a reverent nod to house music’s past and a bold vision of its future. Ron Allen curates a suite of cuts that reward both dancers and deep listeners, while collaborators Lewis and Shilling help elevate the package into essential territory. This is underground craftsmanship with no expiration date.
