We're really proud to present our 42nd episode of this podcast series, for the occasion let's introduce De Grandi on the label !

De Grandi has established himself as one of the most daring leaders on the french club scene.
His track 'Paris Nord-Est' was voted by Resident Advisor and Fact Magazine as one of the best tracks of 2019. In 2022, he released an EP on High Digital as well as 'La Teknoz', a must-have single and fan favourite, in which De Grandi fuses traditional Breton bagpipes, grime and gabber (yes, yes).

Alongside Le Dom, To Van Kao, Sunareht and Birol, our champion is at the helm of the innovative Parisian label Paradoxe Club. He also has a bi-monthly residency on Rinse France.

He seems to be on an upward trajectory that could soon propel him to the forefront of the scene, this is why we're particularly happy to welcome him on our label this week ! 

De Grandi has contributed to Subsism's upcoming EP on Matière, which will be released on all platforms this Friday,

SYLVERE : 6AM MIX - 17 Octobre 2023

Hey this is Skwirl here to gab at you briefly about the records we have coming for this year’s thematic cluster! The theme is Nostalgic Wavs and each record has been linked to a concept under the rather large umbrella of nostalgia as a function of emotional attachment to memory.

The fourth record for Nostalgic Wavs is Spoke’s endlessly colourful and spirited LP ‘You Make Me Feel Dramatic’ and it’s our Déjà Vu selection.

Déjà Vu is a concept that needs no introduction as an estimated 97 percent of people have experienced it at least once. It is categorised as a strong familiarity with a present situation or experience - to the extent of believing it has been perceived or experienced before - despite it being new. We’ve mapped it as restorative, present, unknowing on our Nostalgic Wavs map.

Spoke is a queer German producer based in Berlin known most prominently for their blistering hip hop productions that have become a fixture in the international, experimental, and non-traditional fringes of the Berlin Deutschrap scene. Spoke started their musical career as a DJ in Berlin in the late 2000s, amidst a cascade of grime and garage migrating from the UK en route to the thumps and stomps of the techno capital - that fertile ground of cross pollination and the exciting rise of the German beat scene can still be found reverberating through their work now.

Indeed, when arriving upon what the LP for Woodland Creatures would sound like we found mutual excitement in exploring their roots in club music both classic and contemporary, pop and underground.

A stint living in the UK some years back had solidified their love for garage, drum and bass and the wider UK funky continuum; and, this merged with a keen infatuation with stateside movements like jersey house, juke and footwork in the years since moving back to Berlin - all culminating in a collision of style, sounds and ethos that had been percolating in them for quite some time.

The result is ‘You Make Me Feel Dramatic’, a punchy, short and sweetly diaphanous transatlantic club scene love letter born of Spoke’s personal journey and subterranean explorations which is brimming with immediacy, life, colour and aimed squarely at breathless sweaty dancefloor workouts.

Spoke’s authentic filtering of inspirations and synthesised style mashups yields a record that feels impossibly familiar - like club joints you could swear you know but are of course brand new - and speaks of a producer poised to take the audience on a personal journey they might not expect but one that is kaleidoscopic, spritely, infectious, and just flat out fun.
