Alternately Deep is a compilation album of remixes, b-sides and unreleased songs from the Awfully Deep sessions by British rapper and record producer Roots Manuva. It was released on 13 March 2006 via Big Dada Recordings. Beside Manuva himself, it was also produced by The Easy Access Orchestra, Colossus and Wayne "Lotek" Bennett, with additional production by Steve Dub. It features contributions from Ricky Ranking and Hazel Sim.
Composed of twelve tracks, the album includes previously released song "Double Drat", which was available only via Roots Manuva's website since 2004, and an alternate version of Colossus' own track "You a Grown Man Now" (retitled as "Grown Man"). The song "No Love" appeared in video games Need for Speed: Carbon and Test Drive Unlimited.
The album peaked at number 8 on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums Chart and number 13 on the Official Independent Albums Chart in the United Kingdom.
