Rafa, originally from Portugal has been pumping groovy beats out of his homebase Amster- dam on labels like ANAOH, Suara, Diffuse Reality, BCCO or Different Sound for quite a while and we are happy to have him on Safe Space with what is arguably his best work to date!

These 4 originals with their chord stab and percussion-driven bounce and chopped hip hop vocal nostalgia fit perfectly on the label and the hardgroove frenzy at the moment and make this our ideal summer release 2024.

On the remixes we have french Trudge who after releases on labels like Shall not fade, Arts or Lobster Theremin should need no introduction, here he displays his ability to give a track a completely new perspective with his remix and takes it all the way to the UK in summer '94 with a ravey garage influenced workout.

CRYME from Berlins BCCO / Seven crew takes on the same track label boss Ackermann chose for his remix as well but the results couldn't be more different as CRYME beds the track on a groovy and warm foundation with dubby chords while Ackermann gives it a fast paced yet light outdoor party vibe rounding off our offering for this summer season.

Stay safe everybody!

Love,
a

BCCO Premiere: CucaRafa - Esquerda, Direita (CRYME Remix) [SAFESP023]

In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared,
"Let there be house!" and house music was born.
I am, you see,
I am the creator, and this is my house!
And, in my house there is only house music. But, I am not so
Selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and
OUR house music!" And, you see, no one can own house because
House music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.
You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless
You're deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable
Desire to jack your body. And, as I told you before, this is
Our house and our house music. And in every house, you
Understand, there is a keeper. And, in this house, the keeper
Is Jack. Now some of you who might wonder.
Who is Jack, and what is it that Jack does?
Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body!
Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake.
Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm.
Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body.
Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all
Jackers together under one house.
You may be black, you may be white; you may be Jew or Gentile.
It don't make difference in our House.
And this is fresh!

From Argentina to Zagreb, a funk fuelled hypnotic journey into raw grooves and deep musings.
