GOURMANDGUEST#002 - Omar Martenot [Vinyl/Digital]

art:cast #114 by Ricky Razu

Belgium House wizard Ricky Razu revives the genre with a heartfelt and soulful note that seems to be make up for everything that has gone missing over the past year(s). The Belgium based artist's first appearance goes back to the year 2018, when Ricky released his Cycle EP  on Houseum Records, Cycles. Last year the House-head returned to the label with a split EP called Two of a Kind with Marc Brauner with each delivering three tracks each. After a contribution to Darker Than Wax's Bodyclock Vol. 1 Razu has just released a four tracker on French label Happiness Therapy, which goes by the name of Power of Love and pushes the artist's House sound to a next if not to say to another level. With the beforementioned release Ricky simply connects the dots between influences from House music's golden era, namely the 90s, and today's more club-oriented House music. So utlimately Ricky's approach focuses on elements from House music's early stages and puts them into a contemporary context. Consequently you hear a lot of instruments, e.g. organs, pianos or even a guitar on the one side and have those partly enriched with vocals and genre-typical basslines. For his art:cast Ricky takes the listener through and on this House music journey, with little influences from several sub-genres, which all cover a rather deep vibe and vary between clear-blue-sky and in-the-club moments.

Super proud of this mix, I put together an 80’s power hour for the infamous Feel My Bicep mixtape series filled with psychedelic and chuggy italo, with some tasty unreleased bits from myself - also a little interview with the boys on what I’ve been up to!

Interview

"Up next for episode 150 on the series is a mix from DJ, producer & label owner, REES. The Paradiso Records founder very recently dropped a new EP on Zone Focus, so first we caught up to find out what else he’s been up to and what the idea is behind the mix:

Like most of the world, COVID-19 has put the handbrakes on a lot of what I have been working on, to be honest. It’s a shame as up until lockdown things were starting to click with shows locked in Amsterdam, Germany and all across the UK. Once things clear up these will get re-arranged.
I guess the big positive that has come out of this newfound normality is the free time. I’ve put a lot of time into my label, Paradiso Records. Revamping our branding, prepping for releases and planning for the next 12 months. Also, I have recently satisfied an itch that so desperately needed scratching and bought myself Juno-106 and Oberheim Matrix-1000 so as you can imagine I practically live in my studio now.

Obviously, with the lockdown, the logistics have become a bit more complicated. I’ve converted one of the rooms in my house in the mighty Boro into a home studio. This mix was recorded on a set of trusty old Pioneer CDJ 900s and mixer.

In three words? ’80’s power hour. In all seriousness, I wanted to demonstrate what I am all about. There is a selection of new and old tracks that pay homage to the greatest decade of music the ’80s. When I’m in the mix I like to keep things slow and psychedelic to start before building the energy and finishing with what it is all about, Italo-disco. A lot of vintage synths and phat snares with a sprinkle of panorama bar – that’s me.

Up next…

I’ve just dropped my Panoramic Love EP on Zone Focus last month. And have also just signed some music to Nein Records and have my first 12” coming out on Shadow City which I’m super proud of. In terms of shows, I don’t want to jinx anything but the possibility is no longer unrealistic and it is looking like I’ll be in Lithuania and London this month with Edinburgh, Grimsby and Newcastle to follow shortly after for some safe dancing. Fingers crossed the country keeps moving in the right direction."

Wemoto Radio welcomes Carlo & Black Loops!

With releases on Shall Not Fade, Freerange, Pets Recordings and Toy Tonics to name just a few, Riccardo Paffetti aka Black Loops has built a stellar reputation as one of house music’s most consistent and impressive names since making his production debut back in 2013. A skillful hand both within the studio and behind the decks, the Italian’s slick blend of deep and soulful house music takes cues and inspiration from funk, disco and beyond, with his latest batch of productions coming in the form of his ‘Homesick’ EP on Aterral this December, featuring the Spanish producer and Aterral’s label head Carlo. 

Over the last years, Carlo stepped up as a connoisseur of all things House with a bunch of releases on much respected labels like Classic, Suol or his latest ‘Speak Like A Child’ EP on Purism - as a versatile DJ/producer, but also as man of affairs offside the studio and the DJ booth. In 2020, the Berlin based Watergate and Ipse resident started his new imprint Aterral Records, referring to the blistering hot airstream in Málaga, his hometown.

By his own admission, it was about time for him to pay tribute to that city and therefore send some blistering hot soundstreams via the first Aterral oeuvre onto all House-loving dance floors. Ringing in all things to come is the man himself with the best possible three track kick-off.

Playing in clubs and at many festivals around the world, it’s obvious to say that these two fine gentlemen are one of the best in their game right now.

WEMOTO RADIO - 010 - CARLO & BLACK LOOPS

Issa family vibe. The French crew with an undisputed influence on the underground scene of the land of love. Throwing parties, running a label, playing as a crew and individual. It's the total package. They give us a dance-oriented mix that's grooving on the deeper waves of House and Disco. A constant flow of happiness that wants us to drive to a hidden French farm and party till the sun sets and rise again.
