Lavan’s For The Love EP Brings Deep House Back to Its Core

Lavan, co-founder of the label Ascension on Wax, is out here keeping house music honest with his newest release, For The Love EP. Dropping November 29, 2024, this record is all about that no-frills, straight-up deep house feel. Picture MPC-driven samples, smooth jazz undertones, and the kind of groove that makes you nod before you even realize it.

The EP doesn’t stop there, though. Black Eyes—the hydro-trip heavyweight—steps in with a remix that’s pure underground gold. Slowing things down just enough, he layers in a Detroit-style vibe that pays tribute to icons like the late Mike Huckaby. It’s one of those tracks you’ll catch yourself replaying in your head long after it stops.

Lavan isn’t new to this lane. Earlier this year, his It’s Happening EP dropped on SlothBoogie and got a solid shout in DJ Mag’s up-and-comers feature. But this For The Love EP feels personal, like he’s digging back to the roots and putting his own spin on what makes house music timeless.

Want a copy for yourself? You can scoop the 12-inch vinyl on Bandcamp or through Word and Sound Distribution. Whether you’re spinning it at a party or just vibing at home, Lavan stays true to what makes house music tick without overcomplicating the formula. It’s music made for the love, plain and simple.
