Who sings this musical masterpiece Never Heard ? 👍

Sometimes mixes are made deliberately and sometimes mixes come from hearing muzik you just want to play…. This just happens to be one of those times. Keeping it funky and grovin’ with my own quirky take on orchestrating the music I love to hear….. Enjoy!

Dazzle Drums Love To Boogie

We have been excited to drop this next mix ever since they let us know they wanted to join the series, next up, all the way from Tokyo, Japan we have the incredible Dazzle Drums!! The duo consists of Kei Sugano, who jumped into DJing in 92’ through Hip Hop culture and after a valuable experience from Tony Humphries and Timmy Regisford, he mechanically changed his style to more soulful music based on house and dance classics, leading him to NYC several times to experience the dance floors The Loft, Zanzibar, Sound Factory Bar, The Warehouse (Bronx) and Shelter. Plus Nagi, dance music lover since she was 15, way before she set a foot in a disco or club. The journey as a DJ had begun on the dance floor, where she discovered individuality in an environment where nationality didn't matter. From there she joined "Smoker", hosted by the Japanese legend DJ Nori at club LOOP from '98 to '08.

Both members started DJing individually in the 90s. Although rooted in soulful house music, their selections span a wide variety of styles, expertly shown here in their extended 2 hour mix with a beautiful blend of Soul, Disco, Funk and House. In 2005 they began producing music using the name Dazzle Drums. They now hold a reputable catalog with releases on King Street Sounds, Centric Music, Tony Records, Nulu Electronic, Tribe Records, BBE Music, and more. DJs such as Danny Krivit, Joaquin Joe Claussell, Louie Vega, Tony Humphries, DJ Nori, DJ Emma and Tim Sweeney have all been known to include their tracks in their sets. 

In 2010 they launched their own imprint, Green Parrot Recording. In 2014 they released Japan limited 1st album "Rise From The Shadows". In 2016 their 2nd album "Concrete Jungle" which was released on Anane Vega's label Nulu Electronic. They have appeared at Gilies Peterson’s Worldwide Festival, Ray Ban x Boiler Room Tokyo, plus a European tour including Amsterdam’s ADE. They also hold down a monthly show on Worldwide FM that is well worth checking out, but for now, make sure you wrap your ears around this mix!!

Mysterious TIMES

RADIO.D59B / THINK ABOUT IT #2 w/ Delfonic

Order on 7" Vinyl: https://www.bbemusic.com/downloads/sun-palace-rude-movements-remixes/

Production heroes Moodymann and Kenny Dope revisit one of electronic music’s foundation records, Rude Movements by SunPalace, with brand new remixes issued on BBE Music’s vinyl-only offshoot imprint ALIM.

Presented on strictly limited 7” vinyl, Moodymann and Kenny Dope pay tribute to a New York Loft classic first made famous by David Mancuso, which strongly influenced both artists early in their careers, as well as helping to shape the early House Music movement in the hands of Larry Levan, Nicky Siano, Frankie Knuckles and Danny Krivit among many others.

Two of the modern electronic scene’s most consistent innovators and elevators, Moodymann and Kenny Dope were selected by SunPalace producer Mike Collins himself to rework the track. Sadly, Mike passed away in late 2018 before either version was completed, but as a fan of both artists, we’re sure Mike would have been excited by both of these loving and reverent revisions to his iconic work.

Recorded in 1981s at Mike’s home studio in London, ‘Rude Movements’ was originally released as the B-Side to a track called ‘Winning’. A true Brit-funk oddity, the track’s improvised nature and lack of vocal hooks initially consigned it to obscurity, until its pristine sonics and irrepressible groove caught the ear of David Mancuso and he presented it at his already influential Loft Party.

Moodymann’s remix retains the ‘jammed’ feel of Rude Movements, introducing stellar flute, sax and piano solos over the groove, while remaining utterly faithful to the original vibe.

Kenny Dope’s ‘Dancefloor Powder’ version adds a vintage Afro-Latin drum break into the mix, while showcasing the original’s epic synth solo.

A deluxe double vinyl package containing extended versions of these remixes, plus several more, is planned for release on BBE Music in 2021.

SunPalace - Rude Movements (Moodymann Remix Edit)

My set from Operator Radio in Rotterdam, picked up nearly all the records played in Demonfuzz Records just before the show(which I highly recommend to anyone in the area) so excuse any messy mixing but hopefully you can enjoy the vibe!

Thanks to @operator-radio for having me swing by

Back in September we've had the pleasure to be invited to play for a Listening Session at Café Mancuso in Bordeaux. Sweet place, sweet food, sweet people. A proper audiophile soundsystem, a pair of mk2's and a 2 channel Bozak mixer was all we needed, here's the 5+ hours recording!

Bside Incoming: Dan Tenor-City

He’s the DJ/producer behind Deep Tenor City and an avid collector of boogie, fusion, funk, house and roots reggae for over 20 years. Normally he’s found dropping genre-busting vibes on dance floors and DJ bars all over: on his long-standing Deep Tenor City show on Soho Radio, as a playlister, and promoter of his producer/musician friends.

He’s released 3 EPs including Oba and Fireheart on BBE, and 3 7” reworks on GAMM as PPA that feature in his Bside Podcast. Stand by for the next release from Deep Tenor City People. By day you’ll find him teaching at uni in London.

As ever, we explore the most treasured possessions of the best collectors, the rare-cuts, dub plates, white labels, and objects of musical sentimentality. Funk, soul, dub, disco fusions, and house.
