Based in San Francisco, born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Julius Papp turned to dance music because of the city’s flourishing club scene and diverse radio broadcasts. Collecting vinyl in the mid-'70s then taking to the turntables in 1985, Julius Papp, the DJ, scored his first major club gig two years later.

Inspired by the Mushroom Jazz music format, Julius continued with the down-tempo vibe, landing him a production on the popular compilation and a supporting-headliner spot at a few parties alongside the incredible Mark Farina. 

This has also led to his own downtempo mixtape series under the ‘Lazy Daze' moniker which he uses when playing a more loungey/chilled style of music. 

Julius Papp's production catalog includes Neo Disco, Famous, Transport, Esho, City Deep, Nite Grooves, DAE Recordings, Paper Recordings, Nervous Records, King Street Sounds, LARGE Music, OM Records, Soulfuric Records, Dope Wax (Kenny Dope's label), and Salted Music.

Now based in Adelaide, Australia, Dave is not a veteran, he's earned the title of a maestro of the editorial sound, using decades of experience and an undying passion for the craft to define his undeniable musical style. 

Taken from his bio: ‘After several years of honing his craft and putting together solid chemistry in his musical approach, Dave’s name has become more familiar throughout his scene and has begun garnering a positive reception throughout it. His most notable works are his edits and remixes that include nostalgic songwriting arrangements, grooves and an innovative modern approach that has successfully expanded his artistic merit in contributing noteworthy work for both the Australian and European markets.’ 

Slow Mo Lounge founder, Kongisto, had this to say about the collaborative mix: After being introduced to Dave Mathmos’ unique musical and mixing style, I am humbled to be playing disco edits alongside a producer of such high calibre. Dave says, ‘no boundaries, let the music speak’, I couldn’t agree with him more.’  

Currently, Dave Mathmos releases can be found on an array of Australian and European labels. His production credits include *Hot Digits Music, *Lido Cosmo,*Slightly Transformed, *Too Slow to Disco, *Verdi Grooves, *Selected RhythmRecords, *Digital Rebel and *Lugano Like Music (to name a few). 

The mix is another 3 hours of disco edits and exclusives from labels across the world. 

From Italy, Australia and South Africa, with love.

Organik Soul Vibes & Stuff Vol. 2 mixed by Kongisto

Renowned UK producer, Slightly Transformed co-founder and Essex-based DJ, Chuggin Edits, is back with a new tape alongside Slow Mo Lounge founder and South African native, Kongisto. 

It's been a year since their last release which has gained worldwide popularity for its seamless, infectious groove - the new one is no exception. 

'Over the years, Gary and I have become somewhat of a dynamic duo when it comes to slow-mo blends. It's taken quite some time to put this mix together, it's something quite special, we hope you guys enjoy listening to it as much as we did coming together to create it. ' says Kongisto about the mixtape.

Label owner, producer and DJ, Chuggin Edits, is no stranger to the depth and infectious groove of slow-mo as a genre and relentlessly continues to deliver on scorching, floor banging edits, inspired by the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Loose Change, and Stephanie Mills to name a few. His production credits include Slightly Transformed (his own label), Deep Sense, FKR, Alpaca Edits and Masterworks Music (again, to name a few).

The mix is a slow, four-hour journey, jam-packed with new and unreleased edits, household favourites plus songs from Juno Download's number-one-rated Nu-Disco compilation, Slightly Transformed Summer Numbers 2020.

After a successful run with Essex-based edit king, Chuggin Edits, Slow Mo Lounge is back with another round of infectious, slow-mo grooves to round off a COVID year. This time they feature Buenos Aires native (and now living in London), producer slash DJ, FabioLous Barker. 

Kongisto had this to say about the latest mix: 'Working with Fabio has been awesome, after collecting and buying his music for a while, it's a dream come true to feature a stalwart who understands and knows how to make quality slow-mo music that I love. I really enjoyed working with him and we hope our collective efforts translate into something our followers will enjoy too.'

FabioLous Barker started his deejaying career in 1983 as the local kid in Buenos Aires armed with nothing but two cassette tape recorders. As a producer, Fabio started creating remixes and compilations in high school, rapidly gaining popularity amongst his peers - requests to play at different parties in his hometown soon followed.

Highly influenced by British New Wave, Electropop, and Synthpop, bands like Soft Cell, Fad Gadget, Duran Duran, and Japan - this laid the foundation for his own musical output. His live debut came in 1987 where he sang and played keyboard synthesizers in a (short-lived) local synth-pop band. 1989 he made the move to deejaying professionally playing in clubs using his unique blend of Belgian New Beat and Acid House. 

In the 90s, after working at leading record stores in town, his passion for vinyl grew to not only one but owning three records stores of his own. In 2006, he finally made the move to London, a place where he felt he could combine two of his biggest passions: digging for analog equipment from the 80s plus disco-funk, and so FabioLous Barker was born.

FabioLous Barker is no stranger to working with nu-disco pioneers, having created remixes with the likes of Cole Medina, Dim Zach, Evil Smarty, Jay Airiness, Cut Master, Exotic Contrast, Sare Havlicek, Phil Disco, C. Da Afro, Kellini, Nicko Marinelli, Ziggy Phunk, Tomas Malo, Soultronic, DownUnder Disco, Funk Hunk, Jayl Funk, Chewy Rubs, Ash Reynolds, Henri Le Blanc, Saskin S, Cuz Electric, Don Dayglow, Limpodisco, and Situation (to name a few).

His production credits include Ganbatte Records (his own record label), Deep Sense. Midnight Riot, Katakana, Sound Exhibitions, Hotbox Boogie, Alpaca Edits,  And Friends, Masterworks Music, Sound Exhibitions, Disco Fruit, and Electric Friends.

The mix is a sultry combination of lounge, house, beatdown soul, nu-disco, and slow-mo.  It features loads of new music, familiar favorites, and classics from different record labels and artists from around the world.

Love from Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Diepkloof, Soweto (JHB).

His versatility and ability to find the groove in any genre he mixes makes his music so infectious and uniquely 'Van Pratt'. He's definitely one of the most dynamic 'slow mo' DJs I've ever heard (what a beautiful collab).'
