Neat Mess - Come Get Me

The boys are back in town! Samosa Funk bangs down the door of 2021 and brings us yet another tour of their musical Frescoes to tantalise your ear drums and stimulate your funk nodes. 

First, we visit the Palazzo of Les Inferno where each masterpiece is duly unveiled.  We quite often run out of superlatives to describe Les Inferno's sets. His selections are always carefully curated, whilst the flow and sublime blending of original classics and forgotten gems takes you on a journey very few DJs and producers are capable of. Just let the music take you on this one. Seriously...

Second hour, we move into the Auditorium of De Gama. Straight away, you're in a sonic force field you can't escape from. The tone is set, and we're off on the Samosa Funk highway with a blistering display of diverse sounds, beats and rhythms featuring some of the hottest producers on the scene right now. De Gama also drops some forthcoming bombs from the Samosa Records stable that you just know are going to be huge. 

Samosa Funk consistently raises the bar, and we're delighted to have these extremely talented groovers on board with Black Light Disco. 

As always, if you like the show please hit that 'heart button' and give it a share. Also, don't forget to check out the amazing artists, producers and labels featured on this week's show

Samosa Funk Vol 9 - with Les Inferno and De Gama

Black Light Disco returns with the flux capacitor on full tilt and the time circuits super-charged. 

Hosting the show is BLD resident Ste Hendry (Esteban), who was tasked with firing up the Disco Reactor and Centrifugal Funk Chamber for the first hour of the show. For the second hour, we had a very special guest joining us for his debut on the show -  the supremely talented Faz. 

Faz, aka Steve Farrell got the love of house music in the mid 1990s and could be regularly heard playing in venues around Chorley and Blackburn in the North of England. As part of the ‘Edits Presents’ team, Faz has played alongside legendary names such as Dave Lee, Spen, Derek Kaye and K Klass. 

Faz's sets are all about Disco, ReEdits, Energy and fun, and it's no surprise he's landed regular spots in the bars and clubs in Manchester, Leeds and Halifax. More recently, he has dipped his toe into production and featured in Masterworks Vol 4 last year as one part of 'F'Funkin Edits' and is looking forward to releasing more tracks in the very near future. You can check Faz's Soundcloud page here:

On top of that, he’s an extremely good egg and we’re delighted to welcome Faz for his Black Light Disco debut. You’re gonna need your bestest dancing pants for this one, folks. 

As always, if you like the show, please hit that aptly shared heart button and give us a share. And don't forget to check out the wonderful producers, artists and labels that make this scene the best in the world!

SAMOSA FUNK returned to the MyHouse Radio airwaves on Monday 5th Feb 2021 with Episode 10 of their monthly residency for Black Light Disco. 

This is  another masterclass in world building and atmosphere creating from De Gama and @les Les Inferno, who are never, ever anything less than exceptional when they grace the BLD stage. 

For this one, we’ve played the old ‘switcheroo’ card - with De Gama taking the wheel for the first hour with an incredible slow builder, featuring a heavy chunk of new and upcoming releases on their Samosa Records label. These little tasters of what’s to come from arguably one of the best labels out there (in our humble opinion) drive us insane - we want them. We want to own them. The sneaky peaks tantalisingly tantalise. 

For the second half, Les Inferno is on a mission to bring us the finest grooves known to humanity. He knows them all. He owns them all. His Mind-Palace Rolodex works overtime, and the selections come thick and fast. Les Inferno owns us all, and he knows it. He knows we can’t help it. Les Inferno is here to capture you in his web of sonic threads. Funk it up. Right up. 

It's a tough out there, so stay safe and stay funky, and remember to hit the aptly shaped ❤️ if you like the show. And please, please, please give it a share! There's so much content around and we know there's plenty of other stuff to choose from, but you chose us - we appreciate that and can't thank you enough. 

And don't forget to check out the amazing labels, artists and producers featured in our shows - these people never fail to bring it and we love to showcase it. 

Hasta la vista!

(Tracklisting below)
My special guest this week is one of my favourite artists, Monsieur Van Pratt. Hailing from Mexico City, he is a self-taught musician, DJ and producer who is well-respected in the music world. His music brings together the groove of late seventies disco, eighties funk and the catchy vibe of jazz, but reinvented for modern times with elements of modern synths and rhythms of house music. 

As a producer he is prolific, with a huge back catalogue of tracks released on labels such as Tropical Disco, Masterworks Music, Slightly Transformed and Discoweey. He also runs the record label Super Spicy Records, which has gained a reputation for quality releases of funk and disco. 

Last year Monsieur Van Pratt was ranked #54 in the Traxsource Top 100 Nu-Disco artists of 2020.

Episode 35: Feel Good Friday Radio Show (special guest Monsieur Van Pratt)

The Black Light Disco show airs exclusively on the #1 house music station on the planet - myhouseradio.fm. Tune in every Monday from 2pm-4pm EST, 7pm-4pm GMT, 8pm-10pm CET. 

The idea of Black Light Disco became a real thing when a few like-minded DJs and producers came together to put on a night showcasing the very best in disco, house and funk and everything in between. Our ethos is based around a very simple concept: GOOD MUSIC, GOOD TIMES with GOOD PEOPLE. We announced ourselves on a gorgeous sunny Saturday in June 2019 with an all day and night party in Liverpool’s thriving Baltic Triangle area. It was the start of something very special. 

We have a solid core group of musical talent residing in BLD Towers hailing from England, Scotland, Wales, Northen Ireland and Italy -  providing perfectly cooked grooves and juicy basslines. 

The BLD team comprises of Esteban, Goz (Spin City), Pookie Knights, Cole Kutz (Opentempo.fm) De Gama and Fingerman (Hot Digits) – clocking up decades of DJ’ing and dancefloor experience between us. As individuals, the BLD team have been producing consistently high quality sets over the last few years. Now, as a collective, the aim is to make Black Light Disco THE place to promote new music and to bring you the very best in established/up-and-coming artists and producers in the sunlit uplands of sonic pleasure. 

In January 2020, we launched a weekly show on THE biggest house music FM radio station in New York, MyHouseRadio.fm (also available digitally at www.myhouseradio.fm).  The Black Light Disco Show airs every Monday exclusive to MyHouse Radio between 7pm – 9pm GMT (2pm -4pm EST), bringing you the finest in disco, funk and boogie; all delivered by our expert in-house Sonic Consultants (resident DJs) with guest mixes from the hottest producers, DJs and artists out there right now.
