Whoever said deep house grooves entail a $20 cover and an "in" with door guys all over the city? Funk that. Screw the lines and give DJ Miguel Migs’ latest album, “Get Salted, Vol. 1,” a spin.

The fourth installment of Om Records’ “House of Om” series, “Get Salted” turns out over an hour of continuous dance-ready tunes. Representative of his time in San Francisco as a resident DJ, the 16-track release is a perpetual party house fans can enjoy anytime, anyplace. Take that, Mighty.

Well, go on and dance. This time no one is looking. Start off with track one, Migs’ original mix of Chuck Love’s “Back in My Life.” The saxophone infused beats underlying jazzy house vocals can put even the most die-hard metal head into a soulful trance. He then turns up the heat with sexy jams by KOT and Little Big Band before segueing back into a more Stevie Wonder 1970s mystique. Halfway through, listeners should be ordering imaginary cosmopolitans while catching a breather between Migs’ own “Remember” and the Sunburst Band’s “Turn You On.”

But despite its undeniably upbeat party feel, Migs falls short of bringing a club vibe into the comfort of bedrooms and car stereos. All the jazz, funk and soul cannot replace the synergy a roomful of sweaty strangers conveys. The pulse just isn’t there.

In collaboration with Om Records, this presumably ongoing venture from Migs follows in the footsteps of fellow house DJ Mark Farina and his infamous Mushroom Jazz collection, which is now on its fifth recording. The “Salted” label was produced a year ago for Migs to explore his creativity and release music that inspires him. From the sounds of “Get Salted,” its success depends on just how much his audience actually likes house music.

By the time Ron Besaejam’s “For the People by the People” is thrown down, ironically the last track, listeners are left to wonder, what people?

The verdict: put on “Get Salted” for some pre-party lounging, but then cough up the cash and see the dude spin for real.
