funky

Can u feel it? This is cleary one the most iconic quotes in a classic house track from the mid 80ˋs. Influenced by this era i was always into creating a mood in music where you can let yourself loose and just be yourself. I made this 3 tracks with quite some time inbetween but somehow i always come back to a certain pattern and feeling and so it turned out these would fit together for an E.P.

@RocksteadyDisco is a Detroit-based boutique record label and party series that was launched in 2014 by Peter Croce. Their aim is to continue the tradition of house and disco in the Motor City while maintaining an eclectic sound that transcends beyond the two aforementioned genres. Jazzy and afro influences are just as likely to be heard in their catalogue as are deep Detroit-inspired chords, staying true to their roots in a modern way. One thing you are sure to find throughout RSD's releases and their events are funky bass lines and rhythms made to make you dance.

RSD006, "Standing Still Is An Illusion" comes from @BlairFrench81 a producer and DJ who's been honing his skills for a number of years under his own name and a number of aliases such as Dial.81, BLKSHRK, Cosmic Handshakes and Nois Land. Keeping his releases mainly on labels from his close-knit Detroit community, he's back this time with a solo EP for Rocksteady Disco. This three track EP features fantastic grooves and percussion throughout with the B sides 'Ayiba I Yeri O' and 'Pagode Americano' sampling no-nonsense Afro and Brazilian numbers meant straight for the dance floor.

Our premiere, the A1 and title track 'Standing Still Is An Illusion' is a bit of a journey at slightly over 9 minutes long but it's one that you're going to want to embark on. Featuring Topher Horn, Paul Randolph and Ryan Gimpert, there's a load of instrumentation on this one from the early jazzy ride groove and deep bass that serves as an intro, to the rhodes chords, guitars and bongo rhythms found later on. Despite a number of change-ups in the arrangement, it still feels like one coherent piece. Subtle adjustments in percussion and a number of different instruments are introduced at regular intervals, giving the impression that the majority of the track was jammed out first and then fine-tuned and re-arranged. If you're looking for a tune that's got a little bit of everything - grooves, melodies, percussion and fantastic instrumentation, then you've come to the right place.

​All tracks were produced during a one-off session on the shores of Bretagne, more specifically on Le Cap De La Chèvre, using solely a MPC, a Korg 03RW and a TX7, all connected to a portable generator. Bottles of white wine and a consequent amount of oysters were also directly involved in the process.

Sometimes there’s a huge talent out there and you desperately want the whole universe to discover it. That’s pretty much the story of parisian label Chuwanaga with young french artist Koji Ono, composer and producer of these four precisely crafted gems, recording everything by himself. Brilliantly mixed by Greita from Disques Flegon, his first EP Incognito is the product of a lot of influences, from Metro Area vibes to the original Britfunk sound. With an inner sense of elegance in the arrangements - something we may link to his japanese heritage ? - the whole EP brings musicality back on the dancefloor. We believe this could be the beginning of a great story for this talented musician, Koji Ono emerging from the incognito shadow to the whole light of the world. Don’t miss out !

Available on 12" and digital end of January
Distribution via The Pusher (FR)

After releases on Large and Poetry in Motion, we are thrilled to have Leipzig’s very own Erik Ellmann on Dikso, stopping by for a funky two-tracker. The title track “Lasse” mounts  a bunch of laidback jazzy snippets on a bold house beat. “That Is Why” with its Philly Disco samples beams you right into a ‘75 edition of the legendary Soul Train TV-show. Don, please forgive us our trespasses.

BLAQTAPES003 - Luvless - LovingYou

It's been three years since the last instalment in the "Giant Cuts Presents" series, so this fiery and funky four-tracker from Mexican hero Hotmood is long overdue. He's naturally in fine form, brilliantly joining the dots between loopy disco edits, James Brown and groovy deep house on tasty opener "The Rhythm Is There", before serving up a slightly deeper flavour of disco-house on the dewy-eyed bounce of "My Darling (Dina)". Doc Jam does his best Tiger & Woods impression on his loopy and life-affirming house revision of "The Rhythm Is There", while closing cut "Tropical Space" is an inspired fusion of jazz-funk, disco-house and evocative tropical jazz samples bringing  the summer vibes for the cold winter days. 

DJ Support:

FINGERMAN,  Tonbe, Dave Mathmos, CHEWY RUBS, LEGO EDIT, 80's Child, DiscoDaze / Stephen Richards, Andy Buchan
