Great Track! I've featured it on my new mix https://soundcloud.com/user-271028222/ralph-rodgers-july-mix-tape-2019

The Artist Concurrently Known As Jackmate has been already been indoctrinated into our cult since he signed onto he Pampa bookings roster awhile back. As SoulPhiction he is also co-founder of Philpot, the Stuttgart-based label, home to the majority of his releases over the past 10+ years. Anyway, we get the privilege of stamping the Turkey logo on SoulPhiction's first proper release of 2013, following his remixes for Murat Tepeli and Detroit Swindle. 'When Radio Was Boss' is a tribute to those magical electromagnetic waves that ruled yesteryear. With that prototypical Pampa percussion-rattling and clanking its way into the room-and a warm, round bassline bounce combined with some symphonic froth in the atmosphere, this track definitely demands airplay. On the dancefloor, at least! (And right in the middle of the track, catch the pleasantly jarring shout-out from WBAU, the call sign of the defunct New York radio station that counted members of Public Enemy and hosts of Yo! MTV Raps amongst its staff.) On the flip, the bpm gets cranked down just a bit for 'Maybachswagger"-If the A-side is a tribute to radio, the B has roller-skating on its mind. Starting out spooky with a sampled voice cooing over a slightly detuned bassline, the surprise comes in the final third, when a kawaii disco vibe drops in, seducing you onto the rink for a few laid-back laps.

Soulphiction - A When Radio Was Boss (PAMPA019)

Aujourd'hui on fait la connaissance de Pepe Bradock, de son vrai nom Julien Auger, un musicien électronique français comme on les aime.

Après avoir sorti son premier album Synthèse sur le label français Versatile Records en 1998. Il forme avec Ark le duo Trankilou.

Connu pour une musique désarticulée et synthétique, il remixe dans les années 2000 des artistes comme Alex Gopher ou Soulstice. 

On vous offre Path Of Most Resistance, un hymne à la fête, aussi calme qu'euphorisant. De quoi bien lancer une soirée.

Hunee - Folga [FT 011]

Two years ago I played at Studio 9 in Vilnius, Lithuania. The following day I missed my flight home and ended up spending an extra day, which gave me a chance to explore the city with my friend Linus, who took me to the Contemporary Art Centre. It was there I spotted a book named ‘Rojus’, that Linus told me translated as ‘Paradise’. The word and striking cover of the book stuck in my mind. A few days after returning home, I turned on to a National Geographic documentary named ‘Designed To Dance’, explaining the courtship rituals of Birds Of Paradise. As I watched, i jokingly began drawing similarities between these birds’ attempts to captivate and impress the opposite sex with dance, and the way strangers try to attract one another in clubs and interact on the dance floor. This gave me the idea of creating a record of functional club music, sequenced as if it were a club night, from doors to closing, using samples of these Birds Of Paradise and their habitat. Thus, Rojus.

A long time operator in Stockholm's small but insistent underground music scene, Art Alfie broke through internationally in 2012 with the Karlovak project, founded with on-off studio and dj partner Rudolf Nordström, a.k.a. Mr. Tophat. The duo's inexplicably fresh takes on classic dance music tropes were as much a result of a brilliantly odd pairing of personalities as of a defined concept and precise method in searching for the perfect house groove.

While writing Reveries Of, released February 2017 through Studio Barnhus, Art Alfie freed himself of all conceptual footholds, delving instead deep into his archives of old and new memories and feels, working with improptu field recordings and emotionally-guided sampling processes. He came back with an intricate and personal debut album and you better believe he didn't lose that groove on his way.

Reworking a big tune is never a simple task, especially if after 7 years the tune in question is still one of the highlights in
shows of one of the worlds most beloved live act performers, KiNK.
That’s only half of the story though, as the tune got a lot of love from so many DJ’s all over the globe.
However, for the 17th burek release, we wanted to do something really special and what could be better than giving new
life to a piece of music which literally gave life to our label. And we gathered some very interesting people for the job.
A1 KiNK - Leko (Kink’s Bass Shake Version) is a rework by none other thank KiNK himself. The original is a party
monster as it is, so Strahil opted for an alternative approach that sheds an interesting light on a familiar song. Huge
resonating bassline

A2. In 2013 KiNK had an successful E.P. with Rachel Row called Follow The Step which had a major impact on both of
their careers. Later while touring with Rachel she had an idea to put some vocals on top of the first Leko track, which
now turned into a completely different, slow track with the familiar piano melody.

B1 KiNK - Leko (Session Victim Remix) is a wonderfully subdued take on the original. It keeps all the main elements we
all know and love, and enriches them with a more percussive feel, well placed guitar licks and an overall easier mood. All
that said, don’t make a mistake with thinking this is something for the living room as this one’s made for those special
daytime/sunset/sunrise moments when a tune like this turns the situation into something everyone will take home with
them.
B2 KiNK - Leko (Original Version) is the tune, in all it’s glory and attitude. Full-fledged peak time house track which turns
every party into a steaming pit of bodies asking for more. Too hot to ignore.

Leko (Session Victim Remix)

The infamous Sound Stream return with just their sixth release to date (granted, they've churned out loads of stuff through their other guises). I have to confess, its usually the Sound Stream stuff that gets me the most - its subtle, organic sample usage and club friendly arrangement. Anyway, they're always highly sought after slabs of wax and come with that Hardwax guarantee of heavy fidelity pressing. "Julie's Theme" kicks of and is a druggy slab of manipulated disco loops, tearing beats and heavily delays drums. The stuttering grain delays will cause ripples of energy soaring through the club while the tough hand claps and pummeling kick will keep you locked down. The melodious elements are slowly introduced towards the end, giving a lovely tension and release as the heavy drums give way to blissful, floaty melodies that offer a lovely refrain after the aggressive grooves. On the flip we get a more straight-up disco / house jaunt. Beginning with head-turning air raid sirens (always one of my favourite effects) accompanying a live, chugging 4/4 disco beat its not long before an absolutely huge meandering bassline comes in which is gonna get people bursting around the floor pulling shapes like no-bodies business. This is proper peaktime disco house people, and you better be prepared for the esxplosion of energy you're gonna unleash when this drops. Play this around 1Am whne the floor is full and see it turn into a fully fledged mosh pit. Ideal. Move fast.... these Sound Steam records don't hang arond long....
