Um Remixzinho de Trasha e Tracie em BregaFunk.

SUV (BregaFunk Remix)

It is with great honor that I am able to give this away.  A tribute to one of my heroes, Frankie Knuckles.

The relationship between Detroit and Chicago, for me, has always been about connection.  Any kind of rivalry is secluded and irrelevant, in my opinion.

Chicago is approximately a 6 hour drive from Detroit, so, growing up we would frequent parties, back and forth.  On any weekend in Detroit, we could meet people from Chicago who wanted to experience our small scene in Detroit.

Whereas Detroit had a much more distant, cold feeling while still trying to retain human elements, Chicago house music always appealed to me because it seemed like the softer, soulful version of Techno.  I was drawn to the organ chords and the jacking indigenous rhythms of 808s.  Growing up with Detroit radio, we were exposed to funk music and a lot of R&B.  Some of the first records I bought were Change “Change of Heart” and Frankie Knuckles presents Jamie Principle “Your Love”, both artworks and music having very geometric, mechanical feeling, yet airbrushed and fun vibes.

Frankie Knuckles was the most pivotal figure in this movement, for me.  The first time I had heard “Baby Wants To Ride”, it really moved me.  The way the dot matrix synths moved in seemingly Euclidian patterns, the bounce and slight swing of that bass line, and the way the dissonant chords tied it all together.  One listen and you can see where I drew all my inspiration from when making my tune from 2006, “Hot, Raw, Sex”.  Let’s just say that record would have been a lot different without Frankie K.

“Tears”, “Rain Falls”, and “Your Love” among some of the best tracks I found on vinyl in Chicago.  A few of them so popular you could find them at Salvation Army.

What else can I say about Frankie that hasn’t been said this week?  With this track, we celebrate his life, his kindness, his love for music, his inspiration, his passion and all that he gave during his life.  

Thank you Frankie,

Jimmy Edgar

No episódio de hoje, sub.fm recebe o Coletivo Rastro 

A Rastro é um coletivo de DJs nordestinos, artistas dissidentes, criadores de movimento e condutores de som. Nascemos da urgência de fortalecer e conectar o cenário artístico da música eletrônica e de outras sonoridades que resistem às margens.  

“ A cidade quer que as coisas aconteçam. Salvador grita por movimento, e nós estamos aqui pra tocar. Não somos exportadores de cultura — somos raiz e reverberação. O RASTRO acolhe a pluralidade de ritmos, corpos, vozes e narrativas que transformam a música em arma de luta e festa. Por isso, existimos: como marca, como vestígio, como caminho. ”

What is Love (nocapz. Remix)

Mochakk @ Circoloco DC-10 Main Room Debut -11th of August, 2025

A driving force of rhythm from Brazil’s underground, RHR (@rhrmusiq) grew up in the favelas of São Paulo, where the raw pulse of the streets, from the directness of rap to the fire of funk and the thunder of drums, became the foundation of his life and the essence of his sound. It’s a sonic DNA that makes his work impossible to imitate. Whether channelling techno infused with grime, or reworking bass, dancehall, electro and baile funk, he bends each form into something feral and untamed, igniting heat and blood rush on the dancefloor.

To date, RHR has released five solo EPs, each one a kind of sonic document, mapping the layered histories and realities of São Paulo and translating them into electrifying soundscapes. Alongside collaborations with Mamba Rec, Omnidisc, Pac Recs and Nice and Deadly, he is also a core member of New York’s TIJOLO Records, leaving a distinct imprint across the global underground network.

On his birthday, we are honoured to share this special mix, a journey deep into Brazilian culture, both rugged and refined, primal yet intricate. It stands as a mirror to the country’s underground: wild, turbulent, and utterly magnetic.
