Planet Earth Revisits New York's 2013 Deep House Circuit With 'New York Deep Vibes, Vol. 2'
Planet Earth is set to release New York Deep Vibes, Vol. 2 – 2013 Deep House Selection on June 5, 2026, a compilation that digs back into the New York underground at a specific moment — 2013 — when the city's deep house scene was running quietly parallel to the post-EDM boom that was swallowing everything else whole.
The label, operating under catalog number PLED24, is pricing the release at €17.99. No individual artists are credited in the release metadata, which is either a curation choice meant to let the music speak as a collective document, or a data oversight that will get cleaned up before the drop date. Either way, the focus appears to be on the era and the geography rather than individual names.
Why 2013
2013 was an interesting inflection point for New York deep house. The city had its own lineage running through labels and parties that deliberately avoided the festival circuit, and that year saw a particular concentration of product that held a specific mood — understated, slightly melancholic, built for dark rooms and late hours. Compiling it now, in 2026, is less an exercise in nostalgia and more an archival move, preserving a sound that never fully crossed over and therefore never got overexposed.
The first volume apparently laid enough groundwork to justify a follow-up. Whether Planet Earth is working chronologically through the catalogue or cherry-picking by feel is unclear, but the decision to frame this specifically as a selection suggests editorial intent rather than exhaustive documentation.
Planet Earth's Position
Planet Earth has maintained a low profile consistent with the aesthetic it represents. No press releases with adjectives, no streaming-first strategies. The release drops digitally via Beatport, priced at the higher end of what compilations typically command, which signals confidence in the material rather than a race-to-the-bottom play for streams.
The genre tag attached to this release in Beatport's system reads "Techno (Peak Time / Driving)," which is almost certainly a miscategorization — the title explicitly names deep house, and nothing about a 2013 New York deep house selection suggests peak-time driving techno. That kind of metadata error is common on the platform and unlikely to affect how the record actually gets used.
What to Expect
Without a track listing available yet, the reasonable expectation is what the title promises: long-form deep house structures, probably in the 120–125 BPM range, with the New York emphasis on soul-adjacent chord work and sparse percussion that characterized that particular scene. If Vol. 1 set the tone, Vol. 2 will likely stay in the same register — functional music for people who already know what they want.
The release date of June 5, 2026 positions it as early summer material, though deep house at this temperature is seasonless by design. It will find its listeners in the usual places.
