For the 12th show on Cowbell Radio I am honoured to bring you an exclusive mix from Amsterdam based DJ & Producer - Mr Mendel.  We split the mix into 3 parts for the show but here is the full version in all it's glory.

Mr Mendel started out spinning records at the infamous Duivel Cafe Bar, a place well known as a hub of raw hip-hop. This landed him a residency at Freakin Ill, an old school club night at Bitterzoet, Amsterdam.

However Mr Mendel soon discovered that hip hop just wasn't enough. His job at Waxwell Records was introducing him to soul, disco, afro and brazil records, and he instantly fell in love with the smell of dust, thousands of album covers and the crackling sound of old vinyl.

As Mr Mendel honed his DJ’ing skills he developed an all-round style; collecting and spinning dance music from all corners of the globe with only one condition “as long as it’s good soulful music”.

Always selecting passionate and intriguing tunes, expect to hear sexy melodies, funk filled basslines, energetic drums, exotic percussion and euphoric vocals.

Sometimes you’ll catch him play banging disco and house, while at other times he might surprise you with downtempo soul and tropical vibes. Mr Mendel also curates the tropical playlist for 22tracks Amsterdam.

Definitely a kindred spirit, it's this wide and varied taste that led us to ask him to do a mix for the show.

As a DJ, Mr Mendel currently holds down residencies in Amsterdam at parties such as 'I Love Vinyl', 'Wicked Jazz Sounds' and 'Doka'.  He's both influenced by and has played alongside DJ's such as Rich Medina, Rahaan, Sadar Bahar, John Morales, Lefto, Marcel Vogel, Rob Manga and KC The Funkaholic.

As a producer he has edited big tracks by the likes of Nina Simone and James Brown. Plus the Mr Mendel edit of 'Trio Ternura's' A Gira got support from the likes of Giles Peterson.

His recent 'Mr Mendel edits' on Basic Fingers has all but sold out in the shops but is still available on Discogs.

Mr Mendel's new track 'Far Away' is included on the forthcoming Lumberjacks Boogie Vol 1 12" - the EP also features tracks by Rayko, Em Vee aka Marcel Vogel and Man Made Music.

High up in the (new) disco mafia, Mr Mendel knows how to rock a party and there are loads of top selections on this world class mix.

On Friday I had the pleasure to share the wonderful DOKA booth with my friend Fleur Du Bonheur . I got on the decks at from 2.30 until 6. Loads of friends were in the audience. I prepared a mix out of literally just downloaded tracks that really tickled me, a bunch of things i am quite familiar with and then i brought two bags of records both new and old, different styles, guilty pleasures, old friends and new conquerings.
DOKA is up there with all the best booths I ve ever played, even down to the height adjustable table, the monitoring, the way it's shaped etc. 
It's always pure joy to inject a bit of Marcel into the room and find a common narrative and ways to tickle our eardrums. 
I dont often get the chance to share my livesets, so i am quite happy to do so. Hope you ll enjoy and if you didnt make it this time, hopefully see you on the dancefloor next time <3
Thanks for everyone for did come out and celebrated this evening with us together. The people were as always top notch. Extremly friendly vibes. I feel blessed.

Greg Wilson took over on the Saturday night finale of last year’s Love Dancin’ @ We Out Here, spinning his signature disco and electro-funk sounds.

Greg Wilson at Love Dancin' [ Live from We Out Here 2024 ]

DJ Tracksuit, began his journey on the dancefloor, a space where he sought connection, freedom, and growth which evolved to become his second home. What started as a dancer’s love for music grew into a boundless exploration, wandering through the realms of soulful sounds, unconfined by genre, yet deeply rooted in the culture and social fabric that shape it.

For nearly a decade, he has been shaping a distinct style and curating a wide collection that captures the eclectic essence of today’s dancefloors, with a focus on House, Deep House, Disco, African percussions, Afro-Caribbean grooves, Dub, Reggae & Jazz. As a DJ and promoter, he came to realize that preserving the message within the music requires more than just playing the songs. It demands embodying its essence in character and aligning with the means and processes that shape its journey from the soundsystem to the ears of the dancers.

In this vinyl only mix, recorded live at Doka, Amsterdam’s best sounding club, he goes deep into his extensive collection of Joe Claussell records. The result is a 2hr journey of deep club cuts, paying tribute to one of the greatest to ever do it.

Recorded "LIVE" on Easter Sunday, 2019 - Here's a nice long (just under 5 hours) taste from what was a beautiful 8 hour journey of sensational music curated on the fly by the super combo of GE-OLOGY and RED GREG (both amazing in their own right), whose individual and combined music knowledge, chemistry, insane record collections, and masterful DJ skills WOW'd the Selectors Stage audience at DEKMANTEL a few years ago when they first paired up to play back-to-back. Ever since, it's been a treat to see these guys team up on a few more occasions...and the 6th birthday celebration for the FEVER 105 crew was no exception! Pure musical bliss....enjoy!
