Mixtapes

Today, in the world of Traxsource Live, we bear witness to an odyssey of funk, captained by none other than Germany’s Lorenz Rhode.

During his 15+ years as an artist, Lorenz has evolved his musical niche into a custom blend of his most favorable influences. His music has quickly caught the attention of the underground’s most revered imprints, with tracks now sitting comfortably on labels such as  Defected, House of Disco Records, Heist, Dirt Crew and Compost. His latest, Le Noir EP, lands on 10 Questions and explores the depths of ‘80s inspired Italo Disco (with a contemporary twist) over the course of three flawlessly cohesive tracks.

Whilst his renowned reputation was built off an undeniable enthusiasm for synths and production. Today, Lorenz puts down the keys and enters the booth for 60 minutes of seamless Nu Disco mixing. Fiercely funky and daringly deep, expect to hear tracks from the likes of Ian Pooley, Austin Ato, Purple Disco Machine, Session Victim and more. 

Hold on tight, this is the #357 edition of Traxsource LIVE!

20+ countries, 80+ radio networks and 10 million+ weekly listeners can’t be wrong. Keep it Traxsource. Keep it underground.

After Yuu Udagawa’s highly acclaimed EPs “Ride It” & “Peaceful Dawn” from last year, she’s back again in full effect presenting four classy, sophisticated and timeless jazz-electronica-house hybrid tracks for Compost.

The title track Golden Glow is a electric samba-infused broken beat gem, with joyful vocal melodies and a superfunky bassline creating a truly elevated vibe.

Reverie comes in smooth slow-motion house guise. Yuu's ethereal vocal interludes unfold in interplay with playful piano improvisations, underpinned by an irresistible groove.

The track “One More” seems to come straight out of a smoky jazz club. Jazzy piano sounds meet plucked double bass, underlaid with dreamy synth pads and Yuu's whispers from the twilight zone.

On Velvet City, Yuu unleashes her soulful vocal talent and her flair for wonderfully ambitiously produced deep house. A great, uplifting jam that appeals to both the heart and the dancing leg.

PREMIERE : Yuu Udagawa - Golden Glow

www.openlab.fm | 106.4FM in Ibiza & Formentera

For the first time since we started, we have handed the entire show to an artist—one who is perhaps South Africa’s most treasured electronic music virtuoso.
To celebrate the announcement of the first Felix Laband European tour since 2018, he has constructed a set composed entirely of original music, exclusively for this show. Some of it you will know—a lot of it you won’t. As always, the show will be shared on the OpenLab archives next week.
With five studio albums to his name and an anthology of singles, EPs, and albums to come—it is here that we look into Felix’s past while contemplating his ever-evolving future as an electronic musician.
With shows across Europe, the centerpiece is taking place in London on 2 August 2025 at 17 Little Portland Street, The Tent at the End of the Universe, where OpenLab, in conjunction with Sub Sahara, will present Felix Laband live in London for the first time ever.
This set is a reflective and forward-thinking journey through 25 years of musical output for Felix Laband—and an unusual gift for fans of electronic music the world over.

DIRTCAST #124 | Lorenz Rhode

Artist Info:
“Imagine Rick James dating Chaka Khan, dancing to Daft Punk and Technotronic, making sweet love to a Stevie Wonder ballad, when suddenly a group of German robots and a Yellow Magic Orchestra come rushing into the hotel suite and... they all decide to go to France instead.”

That’s how Lorenz Rhode describes his sound and it’s pretty spot on. After a fierce funk EP on Compost Records he produced a slew of brilliant cuts for the excellent Exploited Records, including "Motor Cortex" (single of the month in Mixmag), "Something Hot", which got love from Top-DJs as A-Trak, Sinden, DJ Mehdi, Aeroplane, Hudson Mohawke, Breakbot, and "Superficial Robots" which came with a remix courtesy of Jimmy Edgar. Together with soul genius Jamie Lidell he released "Any Kind Of Pressure" on Kitsuné Maison, pairing Jamie‘s magnificient voice with manic Hi-NRG rhythms and old school synths.

His music is equally at home at erm, home, or on the dancefloor, and has both a little something for the head and something for the feet and hips. The man got funk!

Lorenz Rhode has contributed remixes for Jamie Lidell (Warp), Yelle (Kitsuné), Moullinex (Gomma), Strip Steve (Boysnoize), Jan Delay (Universal), Cassian (Bang Gang), Ben Mono (Compost) and more.
