DJ Mix/Podcasts

June and July 2022 were all about the release of the 'What It Is' EP on Dan Shake's label Shake Records. To spread the word and to celebrate the release I did a mini radio tour. I visited a couple of cool internet based radio stations throughout the Netherlands. For now this is the set that concludes that little tour, enjoy!

Fluid Funk Podcast Series 008 // Danou P

For the 16th installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

You wait for a guest mix from a Rotterdam selector for ages, then two come along at once :) Up next is DJ, producer & keyboardist Danou P. He's a 90’s kid with a love for 80’s sounds, strongly influenced by disco and funk from both decades, and he's delivered a seriously enjoyable hour of music along those musical fault lines. Buckle up for the funk!

Thanks @danou-possel 🙏

Rotterdam’s Danou P (@danou-possel) has been one of our favourite producers this year, releasing a slew of standout tracks both solo and alongside his studio partner, Chicago star Jamie 3:26. With a knack for exquisite melody and infectious grooves, his music is imbued with warmth and a discernible human touch. If he keeps going like this he’ll go far. This mix features some exclusive unreleased bizness, various jazzy workouts and his piano house stomper ‘The Good Old Days (Are Now)’—one of our favourites of 2023.

*How would you describe your sound?*

I was trained as a keyboardist and later started producing. Therefore I tend to play and record a lot myself instead of relying on samples. I love ‘90s Deep House and I’m a sucker for those old school sounds. I think you can describe my sound best as Deep House influenced by the golden era of the genre, but made by a musician/keyboardist with a modern touch. Having said that I love to go down different roads like more Disco, Italo and electro sounding stuff.

*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* 

I’ve always been inspired by old Funk, Boogie and Disco. There is something about the soul in it and the synthesizer sounds that will always resonate with me. As far as House goes I really like Kerri and ‘90s Deep House artists alike. Newer artists that I really admire and draw inspiration from are: Makez, Clive From Accounts, Felipe Gordon, Chaos In The CBD, COEO, I can keep going hahaha.

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*

I had great fun doing this mix. I don’t usually play that many of my own tracks in a set and to my surprise it was actually really easy to get to 60 minutes. It was really cool to find out that some tracks fit really well together. This is something I’m definitely going to remember and use when I’m playing in the future! I tried to show very different sides of me as an artist in this mix. I played a couple of tracks from me and Jamie 3:26 including new remixes we’ve done, some older tracks that will be released in the near future and some original tracks that are out already. I also played an edit of ‘Street Player/ that I made recently. I just made that one for myself as a straight up edit and tool on the dancefloorl. I think a lot of people don’t get to that part of the song when they play it and they tend to play the most well known parts as somewhat of a crowdpleaser. But this last part is where it’s at for me! It’s a great groove and it just keeps building and going.
