# Deeper Shades Of House

> Independent deep house music brand founded and operated by Lars Behrenroth since 2002. Home of a weekly two-hour radio show, the Deeper Shades Recordings label, and a listener-supported membership community.

Deeper Shades Of House (DSOH) is one of the longest-running independent deep house platforms in the world. It is a solo operation — every show, mix, release, and communication is produced by Lars Behrenroth personally. The brand is built on authenticity, direct artist-to-listener relationships, and a strict independence from commercial interests.

## The Radio Show

The DSOH podcast/radio show has aired weekly for almost 25 years. Each two-hour episode features a first hour of handpicked deep house tracks curated by Lars, followed by a second hour guest mix from a DJ or producer from anywhere in the world. The show is available as a free podcast and as a higher-quality download for members. Episode numbers run sequentially and are the primary identifier for each show.

## Deeper Shades Recordings

Deeper Shades Recordings is the associated record label, releasing original deep house music from artists connected to the DSOH community. Releases are available on major digital platforms.

## Membership

DSOH operates a tiered listener-support membership. This is a patronage model — members support the show's continued independence, not a content paywall. Tiers include Silver, Silver+, Gold, and Platinum, each with different levels of access and benefits. A significant portion of the global audience is based in regions where even entry-level membership is financially inaccessible; the free podcast exists to serve that audience.
