Mixtapes for the Music Family

Witchtape #91 | Guest Wizz : Funky Chap

That morning, the little witch woke up a few minutes before sunrise in a frosty forest.  With her eyes still half-open from a good night’s sleep, her heart suddenly skipped a beat from excitement when she realized it was the day of the Spring Equinox, which meant her wizard was coming to visit her.  Contrary to popular belief, witches and wizards are truly romantic beings, although they rarely meet.  So each year during the spring equinox, all stars align and everywhere on the planet couples of witches and wizards get together.
During her daily inspection round of the forest, the girl made all necessary arrangements to organize the customary game of hide-and-seek.  Of course, all forest animals were part of the conspiracy, and so was the tree nymph, who had never seen the wizard before.
The tradition is that the witch hides somewhere deep inside the woods and the wizard has to find her.  The last 2 years, the plan of the girl always quickly fell through with her lover managing to find her in a matter of minutes, despite hiding in the top of the highest tree or under a pile of dry leaves.  So this year she needed a better plan.  After weeks of thinking, she decided to simply hide in plain sight in the middle of the center clearing of the forest, speculating that the wizard would search everywhere, except in the most obvious place.
This year, the spring equinox coincided with a beautiful half-moon, with light and darkness perfectly balancing each other out.  This gave the little witch the idea to cast a spell over one half of the forest, so that the Southern part was full of flowers and singing birds while the Northern half was still frozen and silent.
At noon, an owl passed the news that the wizard had arrived in the forest so the witch quickly installed herself on a dry patch of moss in the center glade, while a couple of dunnocks decorated the girl’s long brown hair with little white flowers.  
This year, the hiding plan worked so well that after 3 hours of ransacking the woods, the wizards still hadn’t found his girl.  The giant wizz had a really tough time plodding through the muddy sections of the forest.  Finally, he found the pond which the badgers had dug for the nymph a few months earlier.  It struck him that this water body didn’t exist the last time, so he was almost 100% sure the little witch was hiding below the water surface.  It is a known fact that witches can stay under water for hours, so that looked like the perfect hiding spot.  The wizard slipped out of his clothes and waded into the pool.  He quickly sensed a female presence in the water, so his heart started to throb very fast from excitement.  Unfortunately for him, the girl in the water was the nymph and not the witch.  And nymphs are known for their fierce temperament, so after a brief but fiery encounter he made a quick getaway out of the water, apologizing at length to the nymph while hiding behind a tree, shivering from the cold until a group of helpful badgers brought back his clothes.
After an owl reported these events to the little witch, she started to chuckle so loud that she gave away her position.  After that it was only a matter of minutes before the wizard found the witch.  Her heart jumped from joy as she looked up to her giant (2m40 tall) lover of pure African blood, while his heart raced when he looked into the little (1m58) European witch’s mesmerizing green eyes.  Soon her soft snow-white skin touched his silky pitch-black skin while they engaged in the most tender embrace the forest had ever seen.  After their passionate welcome kiss, the intertwined couple observed the beautiful half-moon rising high in the sky, while the sun went down to announce an unforgettable starry night …

It has been four years since I last did a mix for Sunset Grooves and it was high time I did a mix returning to my funk roots. Not the easiest of genres to mix but definitely one of the most fun you can have :) This is a mix full of some of my favorite funk tracks at the moment  and one or two classics I needed to include.. all mixed with a modern touch to give that extra kick/punch that I dig so much. 

Hoping to seduce some music fans who haven't explored much this genre and those who know it to hopefully discover a few tracks you have not come across :)

Sunset Grooves Podcast #198 - Funky Chap

On a beautiful late summer saturday, the oracle enacted an undress code to join this intimate gathering. The tea fairies flyed around serving hot tea so the ducks could feel warm and comfortable in their skin to celebrate life as they first knew it. Each duck had a unique shape and was welcomed exactly as they are. No, this was no duck orgy. It was a moment of vulnerability and freedom in which the ducks, stripped of their vestments, found in dancing the most authentic expression of their beings. And so they departed on an ascending journey into the wilderness of their souls!

My first time in Sisyphos back in 2016 has literally changed my life for good. Back then, I would never have thought I would become a DJ... But listening to some sets played in this magical place has ignited in me the spark to want to play music myself. Playing for the first time there during the 1st edition of The Naked Tea Party (@dani-b-4)at Sisyphos was a very unexpected, unique and precious way to come full spiral with this place which means so much to me in my journey. Many heartfelt thanks to Danielle for the invitation, for holding the space so safely and, of course, for following your heart's impulse to create such an AMAZING party concept! And, of course, many thanks to @sisyphos-berlin for opening your doors for me and to all the naked ducks who screamed and danced so wildly to my set <3

The perfect Sunday antidote: A Voyage of Spirits by Funky Chap.

Funky Chap, hailing from Lausanne in Switzerland, recorded this set in his little flat overlooking Lac Léman with the snowy mountains on the other side appearing slowly through the clouds whilst the sunshine caused an orange tinge on the clouds.  

With his musical world filled with groove and unexpectedness, Funky Chap’s idea behind this set was to do something different, putting unpredictable pieces of music together, with a hope of bringing about a few smiles and some music that the listeners haven’t heard before.

A Voyage of Spirits by Funky Chap ⚗ VOS 091

Some people ask what style of music do you play and it is very difficult for me to respond. However, if I am playing in a night club or a festival and need to crank up the bpm's I absolutely love it! It has been a while since I last mixed and therefore been curating some of these dance floor bangers over the past few months! Bring on the summer sunsets!

Funky Chap (https://soundcloud.com/funky-chap) presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.201

Unsere Nr. 201 kommt dieses Mal von einem Herzensmenschen, welcher gute Musik stets zu schätzen weiß. Soweit ich mich erinnere ist er auch seit meinen eigenen Anfängen auf Soundcloud mit dabei und verwöhnt mit seinen Sets stets die Zuhörer. 

Wir begrüßen in unserer kleinen, aber feinen Reihe den Schweizer FUNKY CHAP. Jeremy ist nicht nur ein toller DJ, sondern auch Gründer und Betreiber der bekannten Podcastreihe „Sunset Grooves“. Neben der ganzen Orga, Kontaktpflege und Kommunikation, verirrt er sich (im positiven Sinne) immer wieder selber Mal hinter die Decks. Dabei zeigt er jedes Mal aufs Neue wie facettenreich elektronische Musik sein kann.

Eine hervorragende Hörprobe seines Könnens ist der für uns arrangierte Podcast. Neben einem sanften und überaus harmonischen Aufbau mit ganz viel Tiefgang, besticht der Beginn mit vielen Indie-Musik typischen Anteilen. Let's Rock!!! Recht schnell wird klar wohin es Jeremy zieht. Nämlich auf den Dancefloor. Nach und nach baut er geschickt den Druck und die Tiefe immer weiter auf, so dass man die Beine nicht mehr ruhig halten kann. Dabei überdreht er aber nie, so dass er immer noch genug Raum zum Träumen anbietet. Eine durchaus harmonische Mischung wie ich finde.  

Wir danken Dir vielmals für dieses besondere Set. Umwerfend, intensiv und überraschend gut. Wenn Indie, dann Hier. Chapeu.

Wir sind entzückt.

Funky Chap presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 201

Thank you for finding the latest in the In Too Deep series.  I wanted to drop a set that summed up what we have nearly all felt we have missed in 2020.  The ability to start a night out with a few chill tunes just to get us in the mood, maybe a couple of ‘pre drinks’… the anticipation of the night ahead… and then the night itself.  Funky Chap and I wanted to create a set that carried you through the journey of a great night out from beginning to end to remind us all that it won’t be long until we are able to get out there again and share a great time with friends and fresh tunes to match.
For this set you will find Funky Chap spinning the first hour in typical fashion from him.. an eclectic style that I struggle to find anyone else managing with such a cool and well, funky approach.  I’d say it’s very unique, and that’s what I love about him.  As head honcho of one of the best and most established channels out there with Sunset Grooves, it was a great honour to have him aboard for this trip.

So I play the second hour, and I’m going back to my roots with a peak time clubby sound that I wanted you to close your eyes and imagine you are there amongst it all, with the wonderful people, the lights, the bass, hands in the air.. ah, how we miss it !
We really appreciate you joining us and hope you enjoy this set.

With love, Jeremy (Funky Chap) & John (Electronica Massiva)

From Funky Chap..   I have been a fan of John’s edits and track selection from the moment I first heard him. Therefore the moment we got together to make this in too deep mix and being in charge of starting it off, I got inspired to choose tracks that would take the dance floor on a unique musical experience. Naturally, being the founder of @sunset-grooves my track selection always varies yet has that groove that will keep driving the mix. The idea is to get the listener all warmed up so that John can take over and exhaust the listeners to a frenzy. An absolute pleasure to do this collaboration with you and share good music with those who love it.

Connections..

What started as an small idea developed over the years into an important institution in the field of electronic dance in and beyond germany. Our goal was and still is to enrich the world with different interpretations of the afterhour. 

In the beginning, we focused our passion on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming. The crew changed, but the passion and spirit remained. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. 🌈 🎵 🪩
