Euan Fryer - Skipper at Athens of the North has been collecting and DJing rare soul, funk & disco for over 30 years. Known in the scene for his scottish club in the late 90s/early 200s called Motherfunk, which was strictly soul and funk45sm, much loved, and always chock-full. His collecting, djing and knowledge lead him to running labels for Jazzman Records in Camden for 11 years. After this he started the much-respected Athens of the North label around 10 years ago which has gone from strength to strength, moving from not only rare soul and Funk releases, but new music as well.  

"This mix is a taste of my favourite releases from the label and also a preview of things to come in the next year or so."

SlothBoogie Guestmix #394 - Athens of the North

This is Part 2 of my Mystery of the Motherbeat series of DJ mixes. I’ve wanted to record this mix for a long time as a follow-up to my 2018 mix by the same name. Both are a fusion of styles used to build a psychedelic hypnotic soundscape for deep listening and personal synchronization with the heart of Motherbeat. No big hands in the air moments to speak of here, just deep mixing and some of the most beautiful records in my collection.
