Recently digged Latin House groover with a superb bassline part before the whole thing explodes in a nice samba vibe:

Did some little rearrangements so it is more playable in the club because I mainly skipped over the 1,5 minute during break that would kinda kill the dancefloor in my oppinion

For the sixth episode of Lunch__Breaks I've recorded a show as a tribute to the music that made my summer. It's dedicated to the music that I've discovered and listened to a lot. A wide variety of genres, but all with a bright summer feeling to it. 

About the first record, Hard Working by Betty & The Code Red, Emotional Rescue (who have reissued this record) wrote a nice background story: 

"Born in Benin in Nigeria in 1954, a youth spent away from home working as a house servant, old Edo folk songs kept memories of home close and hopeful for the future. Returning to Benin to complete schools, his singing progressed to making music. With girlfriend Betty Ajagun, they would use desks, buckets, pots and pans to entertain fellow student on campus, eventually appearing in a singing team on the ‘Music Panorama’ program on national TV. 

Leaving Nigeria in 1967, first to Italy and then on to the USA, to further his studies, he was joined by Betty and when a young family appeared shortly after, he dropped out of college, moving from Florida to Texas, working as an illegal immigrant.

Still singing, he had performed at College and University for tips, accompanied by other students on guitar and percussion. With no formal training, except a musical ear and his skills in computing and technology, Tunde decided to take his love of music and inspirations, from Fela Kuti and Bob Marley, to assemble his own band.

Betty & The Code Red, the idea of promote her singing career and Tunde’s own desire to highlight the “State Of Emergency”, denoting a world crisis of inequality, economic discrimination and conflict (“Wahala”).

Using the music as a non-violent tool to express his socio-political opinions on global injustice, in 1985, they recorded the songs “Hard Working” and “Pretty Baby”, which were self-released on 7” and was soon followed by a 5-song album, “Na Wahala”. The unique sound, an amalgam of influences, surroundings, experience, studio and equipment, lends the music a lo-fi, left field quality, mixed with a beguiling naivety and hope felt in the songs – the result of heavily using the then relatively new Yamaha RX7 (keys), SY77 (bass) and DX7 (drums) – to underpin the vocals.

That, however, was all to appear, as personal and financial strains led to no further recordings to see the light of day. These private press gems were lost, so obscure they have never been part of diggers circles, arriving today almost as rediscoveries for all."

For the first time, the three of us played a b2b2b set at Huis van Iemand Anders in Amsterdam. As Roy perfectly described it: "A set with colourful, sexy, warm, soulful house and disco." Personally, I thrive on the spontaneity of sets that aren’t rehearsed or planned in advance. It was an incredible night filled with unforgettable energy, and definitely not the last time you'll see us in this combination!

For the seventh episode of Lunch__Breaks I've invited The Square Sun. As a true dynamic selector he is always on the hunt for hidden gems. He is also stepping up his game in the studio, his productions are already supported by heavyweights in the game like Antal, Palms trax and many more! 

For this mix, he focusses on african disco. 

About the first record: “The South African band called Image or Ymage Feat Don Kola! Lot's a great albums to find on their name. For me the EP "You Got To Be My Girl / Chico" really took me to another level. The track on B1 "Chico" quite simple but perfect. Just listen to the different elements in this tune. The intro builds up so powerful. For me a must have in my collection.”

House music, as the saying goes, is “a spiritual thing, a body thing, a soul thing”—and Foghan embodies that spirit fully. His journey began as an underground rave promoter, crafting intimate dance floors where music and community thrived. Over time, he’s grown into a key figure in the scene, connecting with artists, scouting talent, and staying true to the genre’s roots while pushing its boundaries.

In an ever-shifting landscape of trends and fleeting hypes, he remains grounded in quality. His music speaks to those who truly understand house: warm, groovy rhythms, deep, driving basslines, and an unmistakable energy that unites dancers under the same groove. Each set he plays is a reflection of his love for the craft and the culture.

For this episode, Foghan delivers a mix brimming with timeless vibes—deep and undeniably infectious. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the sounds of Foghan for our 19th episode.
