CITYFOX

A returning Cityfox favorite, Rodriguez Jr. never fails to amaze us whether it’s when he’s doing his live set on our stages or in the studio with his productions. Brought up under the tutelage of the great Laurent Garnier, Rodriguez Jr. has made waves in his own right with his prolific and award-winning music productions. While the world stood still in 2020, Rodriguez Jr. labored without fail in the studio to bring us his third album, Blisss, that came out on mobilee records. Featuring collaborations with his wife, Liset Alea from Nouvelle Vogue, the album is an attestation to his tactful skill in creating epic melodies that never disappoint. 

Taking the time out of his busy release schedule, Rodriguez Jr. has afforded us a spectacular Foxcast that features his own works in addition to a Patrice Baumel remix of Cubicolor, tracks by Agents of Time, Ede, and others. A well-crafted aural journey, Rodriguez Jr. gently steers the listener through the soft waves of melodic and ambient deep house with vestiges of piano keys to harder-hitting tracks where the bassline really sings. Adeptly creating an ebb and flow, he inflects hypnotic and twangy tracks to keep things riveting, though a satisfying melody is never too far behind. 

As the sun shines brighter and the days of spring get longer, there is hope in the air elicited by the sounds of Rodriguez Jr.’s delightful Foxcast. Here’s to hoping that we all may be reunited on the dance floor quite soon and be able to host our favorite artists once more.

Foxcast 40: Rodriguez Jr. (April 2021)

Dixon b2b Ame - Live @ EXIT Festival 2013 (Serbia) - 14.07.2013

"Such a great moment playing DISTRIKT for the first time and on top doing it b2b with my dear friend Patrice for a long afternoon/night experience -  Hope you all enjoy our set and imagine the vibes” 
~Hernán Cattáneo

"This session felt super natural from start to finish. The musical connection with my b2b partner Hernan was almost telepathic and DISTRIKT provided the perfect arena to create magic on the playa. The most important ingredient were the people on the dancefloor. What a ride!"

I'm incredibly excited to share with you guys the recording of my set at Fusion, on Saturday morning sunrise at Sonnendeck, thank you for this extraordinary moment!!

Massive thank's to the @3000-grad crew for having me!! 

Thank you for listening, thank you for boarding this voyage! With all my love! 
❤︎

❃❃

In the heart of Fusion's embrace, Where music meets the dawn’s sweet grace, a sacred space, magic danced upon each face.
The night dissolved in hues so bright, As darkness bowed to morning light, A symphony of pure delight, With every beat, the world took flight.
As sun ascends, the world ignites, A promise new, the day invites, To dream again in purest heights.
Before me, countless smiles gleamed, A crowd alive, as if we dreamed, In that moment, it truly seemed, We were the music, love redeemed.
Dancing souls in rhythmic trance, In every step, a shared romance, A sea of joy, a wild dance, Emotion pure, in every glance.
As sunrise kissed the sky with gold, Our hearts and minds began to unfold, In unity, our spirits bold, A story of love, anew and told.
Together we, a single sound, With every note, our hearts unbound, So much love and peace around, In music’s arms, we all were found.
Beneath this dawn, the world anew, Where magic's touch paints sky to blue, At Fusion's core, our spirit flew, and with the sun, our soul too grew.

❃❃

HALO Afterparty Mix (Summer 2024)

As residents of the Cityfox New York events, it was high time @adriatique had the chance to flex their repertoire and range beyond a 2hr peaktime slot. On April 11, did they ever. After superb sets by Mark Slee (@mcslee), Atish (@atish) and then Martin Buttrich live (@martin-buttrich), Adrian & Adrian took the decks before a packed and very ready house, playing on a super tight KV2 Audio system. Very simply, the greatest testament to this set is that they started at 4am and when they finished at about 9, most on the dance floor remained to hear them through the end. We've never seen so many people stay out so late in NYC, which says it all.

Hoj has been playing music at Burning Man since 2004. After all those sets on the playa, he still has no clue what "playa tech" is. But he did play this 4-hour set at the Kazbah on Wednesday night this year. Call it what you want. He just calls it a damn good night in a special place with very special people.

On the eve of a new decade, Marsh opened the main stage at The Cityfox Odyssey NYE & NYD 2020 soaring into the new decade with unreleased music on the blindingly bright horizon of New Year's Day. Backed by the likes of Joris Voorn, Kölsch and Phil Taggart at BBC Radio 1, Marsh continues to tell his story of healing and inner peace through his enchantingly deep and progressive sound. His varied remix list including Above & Beyond, Luttrell forms a smidgen of his vivid catalog of over 60 releases.

On the LIVE side, Marsh has performed at esteemed venues on both sides of the Atlantic, and boasts a 2020 schedule that takes in the world’s hottest locations. Commonly lost to vibes and emotions behind the decks, Marsh is equally at home sharing the bill with legends like Sasha & Digweed and Guy J. Marsh started the year with the highly-anticipated ‘Eu Topos EP’ on Anjunadeep, and we can expect to see three more EPs, collaborations with Nox Vahn and Spencer Brown coming soon and a continuous momentum as we await what is to be announced in the fall. Sit back and relive Marsh's opening set from this past New Year's Eve and don't miss him back at Brooklyn Mirage in just a few months.

“Well, you see, the thing about Tom’s music is that people just really seem to like it! You can’t argue with that, can you?” - Jody Wisternoff

Marsh - LIVE at The Cityfox Odyssey (NYE & NYD 2020)

Spectacularly closing out Cityfox LIVE on Saturday, February 29th, was none other than the duo Schwarzmann (Frank Wiedemann and Henrik Schwarz) featuring a guest performance from Chicago house legend Robert Owens. The former, two well-respected live acts of the world-renowned Innervisions label, coming together as one and the latter, a product of the Chicago music scene since before the day house music was born. Relive the culmination of the night with this splendid two-hour mix featuring masters of their craft.

Kicking off their jam with a jazzy start, Frank and Henrik faced each other from across their tables of synthesizers, soundboards and other equipment, encircled by lasers and lights, with their body movements synchronized to the sounds they were unleashing upon an eager and packed Great Hall. That night, Schwarzmann enlightened the room to the true meaning of house music in more ways than one. While Henrik Schwarz and Frank Wiedemann have graced our Cityfox events several times over the years, they rarely play together as Schwarzmann stateside, let alone alongside Robert Owens - making this performance a special aural treat for the Cityfox audience and Schwarzmann fans alike.

The jazz undertones continued throughout the energetic set with articulations of saxophone, piano, trumpet, and organ brilliantly weaved in, and also included the sprinkling of hit classics such as one of Frank’s productions (as Ame), “Rej,” a fan-favorite that aroused cheers from the crowd. Robert Owens commanded stage presence from the moment he walked on, effortlessly working the crowd and the mic, spreading the message of love at the same time while Henrik and Frank provided the beat in the background. Telepathically in sync, the three friends picked up jamming and singing easily from where they left off the last time they played together, with only a short rehearsal between them since. Robert’s enigmatic smile and his words mixed with Schwarzmann's closing melodies provided a grand finale to remember for a Cityfox night of world-class LIVE electronic music.

Schwarzmann [Henrik Schwarz & Frank Wiedemann] - LIVE at Cityfox Live (February 2020)

The winter cold was mild as the clock struck midnight on Cityfox Odyssey’s NYE 2020 celebrations. In what proved to be a whirlwind of an amazing night-into-day affair, the jovial DJ duo Andhim took over Kings Hall just after the ball drop, encased in a light box installation - their spaceship and the vehicle to outer realms for the night.  Blasting off their set with tracks that were full of whimsy and mirth, the crowd was overjoyed and elated. Everyone was ready for their first journey of many that night.

Andhim, comprised of Simon Haehnel and Tobias Müller, are the best friends you always want to have around: lighthearted, cheeky, and most importantly - they never take themselves too seriously. This mantra and joie de vivre is reflected in the musicality of their sets, which has become a genre of so-called “Super House” and has endeared them to the crowds. Hailing from Cologne, Germany, Andhim has quite the repertoire of productions over the years since 2010, with classic tracks like “Wizard of Us” in 2013 and other releases on Get Physical, SuperFriends, and Monaberry.

This riveting live recording is emblematic of Andhim’s funky put-a-smile-on-your-face style mixed in with smooth and sexy rhythms that one cannot help but move and groove to. Strong believers of closing out on an uplifting note, Andhim cinched the three hour journey with feel-good tunes “Lunar Fling (Aera Remix)” by RSS Disco and “Last Song” by yours truly. As they have said themselves, “The last track needs to be strong. In a way, it's the centerpiece of the entire set. It should engage everyone and lift your own spirits. If it does, everyone walks home in the perfect state of mind.” 

Times may be tough and we miss our friends on the dance floor, however let this mix bring you to a sunnier mindset, perhaps a smile and a little two-step or two. If you’re looking to spend some extra time with the boys, be sure to heck out their excellent road trip movie “MILES TO GO”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8cXZLTVn0s

Andhim - LIVE at The Cityfox Odyssey (NYE & NYD 2020)

Oh, the trials and tribulations that this year has seen! Now as the year comes to a close, with our dancing shoes gathering a bit of dust, we look to the new year for hope and the possibility of physically coming together in the name of music once again. In the meantime, our eyes and ears have been peeled for new sounds and rising stars. Taking center stage for this Foxcast, we present @Budakid, an upcoming talent that is making waves out of the Netherlands with an enviable release catalog. Providing us with a beautifully mellow yet uplifting mix that eases the senses and the mind, Budakid helps us smoothly navigate out of the turbulence of 2020 and into a new era.

Effervescent at times, moodier at others, this Foxcast encompasses the qualities and sentiments that Melodic House fans love most – elation, morale-boosting, the inclination to dance, darker musical twists that always return to melodic sounds, providing a euphoric elevation of the mind. One cannot help the cliché of throwing their hands in the air - even older jaded stalwarts of the dance floor have no shame in admitting so. It is quite evident that Melodic House greats like Guy J and Sasha have an intrinsic influence on Budakid’s production style and musical tastes in this carefully crafted Foxcast, which also features tracks by the likes of Joseph Ashworth, Deetron, Frankey & Sandrino, and Shiffer.

Budakid’s beginnings may not have been very different from other DJs, however, it is his music and proficiency at production that sets him apart. With sixteen releases in 2020 alone on a myriad of well-respected labels such as Anjunadeep, Armada Music, Diynamic, Exploited, Last Night on Earth, Lost & Found, and Einmusika Recordings (label of Cityfox regular Einmusik), his talent is hard to ignore. With a residency in Utrecht and gigs in 22 countries – not to mention one on the Great Wall of China - already under his belt, Budakid has become a mainstay, especially in the Melodic House realm. 

Be sure to keep an eye out for our line ups when we return, as Budakid will be taking to our stages and making his Cityfox debut sometime very soon!

Foxcast 38: Budakid (December 2020)

@ChloeCaillet graced Cityfox decks for the first time at the 2019 Mirage Closings, delivering a spectacular 3-hour musical voyage (which is available for your listening pleasure on our Soundcloud in our Cityfox LIVE playlist). The French American DJ has graduated from the fashion circuit and is now seeing her star rise faster than ever, completing a residency at Transmoderna in Ibiza in 2019. We cannot wait to welcome her back to our soirees when the time is right again. In the meantime, she has bestowed upon us a gem of a Foxcast to tide us over.

“Fools rush in” as the saying goes, however, the real masters of the mix are those who are adept at the slow build, as is the case here with Chloe Caillet’s Foxcast. The appreciation of the slow build is like the appreciation of fine wine, enhanced by age. Often times it is omitted when it is oh-so-relished. The chugging beat of a pitched-down “It’s a War” (SS UK Re-Edit) by Kano defines that sentiment, warming the waters yet hinting of the funk and punchiness yet to come.

The mix follows a journey that picks up pace with masterful subtlety, with a tasteful sprinkling of world music from the likes of Lord Nelson and others meshed in seamlessly and lending the mix a hypnotic aspect.

Astral and atmospheric sound effects accentuate our daze until, all of a sudden, we come out of the dream and realize the beat is driving and the mix is a vibe. Encapsulating the mood of our times, this Foxcast from Chloe is just what the doctor ordered to allay our frenzied emotions. Rounding out the mix with uplifting notes from Jon Gurd’s ’Together” (Tom Demac Remix), she arms us with emotional buoyancy to weather the storm of our times.

Until we meet again on the dance floor, hang in there!

Foxcast 39: Chloe Caillet (February 2021)

The Brooklyn based label Cityfox focuses on good music. Always danceable, psychedelic and fresh electronic rhythms somewhere between techno & house.
