Under An Hour 🤌

"A mostly vinyl mix in effort to highlight the Deep House/US Garage style of House Music and the artist and labels who pioneered the sound. The term Garage most commonly associated with UK Garage is actually rooted in New York’s Paradise Garage and was a marketing term created to distinguish NY/NJ House from the sounds coming out of Chicago and Detroit. Swung beats, pretty chords and huge diva vocals were common elements of a NY/NJ House track. More rooted in Jazz, Soul and R&B than the edgy futuristic sounds of Chicago and Detroit. Producers like Masters at Work, Mood II Swing and Kerri Chandler were some at the forefront of the sound as well as unsung heroes like Blaze or Victor Simonelli. New York had a strong independent record label culture that goes back to the disco era of the 70s. Before the advent of the digital era and the devaluation of music, independent record labels were able to thrive. Strictly Rhythm, Nervous, Kult and Eight Ball records were among the many labels pushing the NY/NJ sound. 90s New York and New Jersey club music were inseparable up until the BMORE influenced Jersey Club sounds of the 2000’s.

New York and New Jersey have such a rich history of Club Culture and Dance/Electronic Music. It’s unfortunate how little education there is on the topic. Yes, House Music was pioneered in Chicago but New York and New Jersey have always had their own thing going on and played a huge role in the development of the genre and culture. This style/era of house could not possibly be encapsulated in a 1 hour mix but these are some of my favorite tracks that I’ve collected over the years."

Friends of FemmeDecks 05. x DONIS

We're pretty excited about our next mix takeover as we celebrate the legendary imprint Night Slugs' 15th anniversary! Founded by Alex Sushon (Bok Bok) and James Connolly (L-Vis 1990), Night Slugs was initially launched as a club night series after Alex and James met on Myspace in 2008, expanding into a record label in 2010. From then, Night Slugs quickly became one of the distinctive dance music labels of the 2010s as they pushed a hybrid of grime, house, electro, R&B, hip hop and dubstep. With a lasting influence across the globe to this day, the label released career defining releases from the likes of Jam City, Girl Unit, Mosca, Jacques Greene, Lil Silva and more. To celebrate their 15th anniversary, Night Slugs have pulled together the 'Classic Remixed' compilation which fuses the label's past, present and future with artists taking on remixes of the label's classics. These remixers include Night Slugs family Ikonika, Helix, CalvoMusic & OSSX, as well as many of the labels peers and next-gen favourites including Grandmixxer, Bored Lord, MoMa Ready, Hagan, Karen Nyame KG, River Moon, DJ Polo & NKC, DJ Lag, scotti dee and more.

Kicking off the takeover is DJ Polo who credits the label as one of his biggest influences. The Bristol-based party starter first got into the rave scene when he was 18 and has since been championing his deep percussive sound in the West of England. Through the day party and collective Sprung he brought the likes of Hard House Banton, Supa D, Apple, T Williams, and Crazy Cousinz to Bristol and more recently through Club Djembe they've released the likes of Fiyahdred, Lobby, SAYE, Kaval and more. For his own productions, DJ Polo started releasing music in 2017, landing on labels such as More Time Records, Even The Strong, Livity Sound and has now remixed Bok Bok for the Classics Remixed compilation. 

Speaking about the mix, DJ Polo says, "for this mix I wanted to draw on some of my favourite releases from the label across the years. The mix includes a lot of the earlier NS releases and music from around that era that was really inspiring me at that time, as well as some brand new music in the same vein."
