High Groovin Sessions with Mathew Ferness

X-Press 2 have been at the vanguard of British electronic music for three decades now. In that time this acclaimed DJ and production duo, alongside Ashley Beedle, have turned out many hits. The London duo share the same sense of musical discovery that first united them on the dance floors of Shoom and Spectrum and the Balearic playground of Ibiza way back when. Now they find themselves in the thick of the SB mix series. 

“We’d describe the mix as ‘Moving forwards with a nod to our roots’. As always with X-Press 2 the idea was to try and include music that’s new and exciting to us, played alongside some of our productions as well as dipping back into the past and adding some inspirational flavours to the pot. We like to spend some time thinking about the programming of a mix, working out some sort of flow so that the finished blend makes sense.”

SlothBoogie Guestmix #392 - X-Press 2

Julius' first official, commercially released mix CD circa 1998 (on Maxi Records, NYC).

Original Media Review:
One of San Francisco's finest DJ's, Julius Papp is a jazz-funk extraordinaire, and here he proves it beyond a doubt with this 74-minute mix of delicious deep house. Mixing choice tracks from the Maxi vaults, he comes up with 13 excellent selections, from the opening spoken-word and African drums collaboration "Untitled Intro" by the Listening Parlor, and the Joe Claussell mix of "Love and Respect" by the Carlos Sanchez Movement, to the moody jazz phrasings of Big Muff's "My Funny Valentine" and the lush string arrangements of Byron Burke's "String Section." Danny Tenaglia's alter ego Soulboy makes two appearances ("Love or Lust" and "Harmonica Track '97"), and Papp himself with partner Dave Warrin ("Santos" and "Let Me Be") round out the track listing. For all-night groovin' and chillin' out, this LP can't be beat.

Fouk joined us for two hours of soulful club heaters ranging from smooth deep house all the way to hazy 2-step. Tracks from Simply City, Fritz Wentik and few unreleased gems from them and friends inside.

Fouk - July 2020

It was in 2011 that Dutch pair Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets quickly broke through in the electronic music scene. Since then they have become known for their widescreen approach to making and playing club-ready grooves. From deep to disco, tech to soul, they join the dots between the past and the present with their own sense of storytelling and do so in clubs around the world, as well as in their studio. House might be the root of the Dam Swindle sound, but it takes nourishment from a much wider world of music. 

Still now, their breakthrough tunes such as ‘The Wrap Around’ and ‘The Break Up’ receive countless plays on dancefloors all over the world and the duo has made timeless music such as their 2023 disco-house bomb ‘ That’s right’ and 90’s throwback banger ‘Allright – just a tribute’ that became one of the hits of the 2024 festival summer. Dam Swindle has built a trademark sound, while still evolving and maturing their craft in various musical niches. Their landmark 2018 album High Life shows a broad musicality from the duo and this is even more so on their highly anticipated 2025 long player ‘Open’.  ‘Open’ features countless collaborations with high-profile artists such as Dutch pianist Joep Beving and New York-based Ethiopian vocalist Haile Supreme, and sees the duo flex their sound from ambient electronica to synthwave, hiphouse and more. 

Since 2013, the pair has also established their record label Heist Recordings as one of the key independent labels for underground dance music, while also releasing music on other underground mainstays such as Aus Music and Classic Music Company. Heist is more than just a label, though - it is a breeding ground for talents old and new; somewhere talent is nurtured and allowed to develop. Label showcases and special projects such as the yearly Roundup EP; where all artists from the past 12 months remix each other after a random selection process, furthers the family vibe and helps Heist stand out from crowd. Artists such as Cinthie, DJ Sneak, Crackazat, Tesfa Williams, Makèz, Pépé Bradock, Matthew Herbert, Ge-Ology, Byron the Aquarius and many more have all contributed, proving that it is a place for unrestrained creatives to be free with their own sonic visions. The label looks as good as it sounds, too, thanks to visual artist Bas Koopmans's standout artwork designs. 
 
Proof of Dam Swindle's widescreen approach to production is their long and talented list of collaborators, which includes the likes of acclaimed musician Tom Misch, US talent Seven Davis Jr., instrumental collective Jungle by Night, plus Marc de Clive-Lowe, Jitwam and Lorenz Rhode. Next to their own originals, a broad spectrum of artists have asked Dam Swindle for some of their special remix magic: on labels like Strut and Soundway they have reworked the legendary Pat Thomas, aka the ‘Golden voice of Africa,' and gave his single ‘Yamona’ a contemporary electronic edge, as well as The Mauskovic Dance Band’s track ‘Space Drum Machine’ and plenty more artists like Kerri Chandler, Mayer Hawthorne and Tom Misch. As their talent for bridging genres from all over the world continues to attract global attention, high-profile projects keep rolling in from all points on the musical globe. 

Dam Swindle are famously avid collectors of both old and new records, and it shows in their DJ sets, which keep you on your toes as they move freely through the broad world of house music with skillfully blended moods of soulful techno, acid, breaks, disco and more, all to create those special moments that crowds never forget. It is for that reason that their name has become a real stamp of authority and invention in the dance music world. Whatever they do, then, this pair do with irresistible charm.
