A Londoner through and through, Arthur Smith, more commonly known as Artwork, is a man who has been a key part of some of the capital’s pivotal music scenes in the last two decades. After a time producing techno under his Grain alias in the 90s, fore-fronting dubstep with Big Apple Records in the early noughties and forming Magnetic Man alongside Skream and Benga in 2007 – Artwork is now busy injecting his character into various parties, festivals and clubs around the globe.

As a longtime friend of the shop, we reached out to Arthur to see if he would be up for contributing a mix to close out 2021. For the occasion, Arthur went above and beyond and the result is a whopping one hour and forty-minute long recording packed with all kinds of rare disco, funk, boogie and house treasures. 

Head on over to offtherecord.net to check out the in-depth interview where we discussed his new life in NYC, his past projects; Grain and Magnetic Man, his future plans, and much more. Enjoy!

Delphi _ The Boogie Session

Eddie C is a Canadian DJ, producer, and vinyl enthusiast known for his warm, groove-driven blend of disco, house, funk, and balearic sounds. Originally from Southern Ontario, Eddie’s musical journey began in the late ‘80s, influenced by hip-hop and the early acid house scene. He started by making tape edits of late-night radio shows and immersing himself in warehouse parties.

His diverse taste and deep record knowledge were honed through years of university radio and 1990s raves, eventually leading him to craft eclectic, soulful DJ sets that span boogie, slo-mo disco, and deep house.

In 2010, Eddie founded Red Motorbike, a vinyl-only label that’s become a cult favorite for its dusty, analog-inspired cuts. His productions and edits have appeared on respected labels like Razor-N-Tape, Endless Flight, and Crue-L Records.

Now based in Vancouver Island - after leaving Berlin in 2020 and being a nomad for three years - he continues to tour internationally, thanks to his soulful, genre-blending sets and unwavering dedication to underground music culture.

Oh! We almost forget to tell you he recently launched his brand-new label, Disko Universal, debuting with an EP in collaboration with Keitano Sano. Don’t miss it!

Trace (Lyrics/Paroles)

Sunlight flickers on a lost place, 
We leave the map of us in every space.
Always human traces, written on the face, 
Footprints in the sand, secrets in the lace, 
We run, we fall, we rise, 
we always leave a trace,

A fire of memories rises in my mind,
the sea, the burning sand, the sky,
and the grace of this place,
it is the world, its visible face



Trace

Se vi siete mai chiesti cosa significhi avere una drum machine o un campionatore al posto di un pacemaker, potete sempre domandare a Valerio Del Prete aka Delphi, che da oltre un decennio mette i dancefloor a ferro e fuoco. 


Sin dagli esordi per Pigna su altezze acid house (The River/ Suzuka, 2009), il DJ e producer capitolino si è imposto per classe, gusto e tecnica, muovendosi con leggerezza nelle zone d’ombra tra house, techno, disco, boogie e italo. 


Proprio quella prima release getta il seme per il fortunato sodalizio con Marco Passarani, con cui dà vita, nell’ombra e nell’anonimato totale, al mitico progetto Tiger & Woods, spaccando in due il circuito dance con una serie di folgoranti EP e ibride performance tra live e dj set con un tasso di groove pericolosamente sopra la media. Ma questa è un’altra storia.


Di proprietà del duo è l’etichetta T&W, che ospita nel 2016 un’altra traccia solista di Delphi, Blue Tuesday: un dancefloor killer tra house, ebm e italo, un gioiello che avrebbe fatto sicuramente fortuna nei leggendari passaggi di Hot Mix 5. 


Più recenti, tra EP e singoli, le escursioni su Orchid (The Loft), Skylax (Clutch Play), Running Back (7_11 House) ancora T&W (Unleashed Tapes Vol. 3), Neturalizer (Don’t Assume) e Raibano Records (Take Me): sempre e comunque brillante e prezioso materiale dalle bassline devastanti.


Per non farsi mancare nulla, Valerio coltiva più o meno da sempre anche una certa passione per beat e campionatori (e la Roma, quasi dimenticavamo), collaborando prima con il sito di podcast sportivi Fenomeno – per cui ha curato le sigle e la serie di show dedicati a calcio e musica chiamata Trequartista – poi uscendo con due dischi (Through The Window, Face the Music) registrati in casa in tempo di lockdown: brevissime schegge di boom bap scartavetrate nei loop e nella ruggine, agili quadretti hip hop pennellati su circuiteria e personale collezione vinilica, malinconiche soundtrack per osservare il mondo, per l’appunto, attraverso il vetro della finestra. 


Un curriculum che, in effetti, non ha bisogno di tanti giri di parole. Tra club e festival, Delphi il mondo se lo è praticamente girato tutto: Panorama bar, Coachella, Fabric, Printworks, Robert Johnson, Rex, Warehouse Project, Nitsa, Razzmatazz, Lux, Goodroom, Smart Bar, Video Club, Womb, Shelter, Sónar, Primavera Sound, , FYF Fest, SMS Festival, Garden Festival, Defected Croatia Lost Village, CRSSD…

Così, giusto per dirne un paio.
