Organik Soul Vibes & Stuff Vol. 3 mixed by Kongisto

Based in San Francisco, born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Julius Papp turned to dance music because of the city’s flourishing club scene and diverse radio broadcasts. Collecting vinyl in the mid-'70s then taking to the turntables in 1985, Julius Papp, the DJ, scored his first major club gig two years later. His musical influences include 70s Disco and New Wave from the 80’s, adding to his diverse yet superiorly soulful mixing style. 

Not content on limiting his ambitions and potential to just the DJ booth, Julius began producing music in 1994. His first genre release was then Acid Jazz, drawing attention from the jazz and funk scene in San Francisco and later Mushroom Jazz's Mark Farina. Inspired by the Mushroom Jazz music format, Julius continued with the down-tempo vibe, landing him a production on the popular compilation and a supporting-headliner spot at a few parties alongside the incredible Mark Farina. 

This has also led to his own downtempo mixtape series under the ‘Lazy Daze' moniker which he uses when playing a more loungey/chilled style of music. 

Julius Papp's production catalog includes Neo Disco, Famous, Transport, Esho, City Deep, Nite Grooves, DAE Recordings, Paper Recordings, Nervous Records, King Street Sounds, LARGE Music, OM Records, Soulfuric Records, Dope Wax (Kenny Dope's label), and Salted Music. 

Julius Papp's new collaboration with South Africa's Slow Mo Lounge is 3 hours of back-to-back edits, soul, funk, disco, and nu-disco, acid jazz, hip hop in a slow (95BPM - 105BPM) melting pot, alongside Soweto-born founder, Kongisto. 

Julius Papp plays the 1st hour and 17 minutes then Kongisto plays the rest. Love from Diepkloof, Soweto, and San Francisco, USA.

SPHEctacula Yanos Mix June 2021

Almost a year ago I had the opportunity to spin for a tribute to Roy Ayers featuring Roy himself, Pete Rock, The Robert Glasper Experiment & Stefon Harris. The performance on stage and on the turntables was dedicated to the many interpretations of Roy's music.

One of the most legendary and most influential songs Roy Ayers ever made is "Everybody Loves The Sunshine." I put together a 15 minute mix complete with photos from the event featuring interpretations by 9th Wonder, D'Angelo, Dr. Dre, Erykah Badu and Mary J. Blige. Enjoy...

ESSENTIAL MIX - JAN 2009
Uploaded on 17.01.10 and exclusive to SoundCloud. Available for the first time without voiceovers and jingles,12 months on from original Radio 1broadcast on 17.01.09.


EMAILSHOT A FEW DAYS AHEAD OF MIX BEING AIRED:
2009 kicks in for me this weekend with my first gig of the year for Udio (1st birthday) at The Gramaphone Club in Shoreditch, London on Friday night, which coincides with the airing of my only just completed in the nick of time Essential Mix on Radio 1, made up of 43 tracks in just under 2 hours.

Given that the 5th anniversary of my DJ comeback has only just passed, I decided to take the opportunity to make the mix totally representative of this period, with all the selections being amongst the biggest tracks I’ve played since I made my second debut at Music Is Better in Manchester.

Five years represents a significant package of time, a fixed point from where I can reflect on what’s been a continually snowballing sequence of events, set in motion when Danny Webb asked me to appear in Manchester on that December night back in 2003.

There were less than 100 people there that night, but they were the right people, and I was taken aback by the response to my return, both on the night itself and during subsequent days, when people who were there began to post on the forums. I’d never expected all the feedback be so totally positive!

I’d figured that I’d play that night, using the combination of laptop and reel-to-reel for the first time, then go away and think about what worked and what didn’t before I made my next move. I would never have believed that things could come together so immediately, it was as if I’d hit a completely unexpected hole in one, especially when two of the people who were there, Ralph Lawson, DJ from Back To Basics in Leeds, and one of my fellow DJ’s that night, Richard Hardcastle (Solid State) from Society in Sheffield, both asked me to play at their nights no sooner had I finished my spot.

One thing kept leading to another and, in Sheffield, I was approached by Tony Daly to play at the now legendary Tyneside Cinema party in Newcastle, a bespoke event where he took on the substantial risk of presenting me in a city I’d never DJ’d in previously (unless you count the 1983 TV appearance on The Tube, which was filmed in the Tyne Tees studio). Then, of course, there was London, where Steve Kotey and Bill Brewster booked me for their parties, bringing me to the capital within the first few months of my return for Ouch and Low Life.

The bookings kept coming, and I found myself driving up and down the country on an increasingly regular basis. Later in 2004 I was approached by Sav Remzi, from Tirk / Nuphonic, with the idea of putting together an edits album, which would be issued the following year as ‘Credit To The Edit’. This would help bring my name to the attention of people outside the UK. There was soon a need to step things up further, now that I was receiving enquiries from Europe, and so began a fruitful relationship with my agent, Matt Johnson (Matty J), who’s done a wonderful job of representing me during recent years.

The last few months have been, to say the least, manic for me, with 25 flights, including 6 long haul, taking me to gigs in the US, Japan, Australia, Brazil and Europe. From a personal perspective I still find it remarkable the way everything has developed, pretty much organically, since I made the decision that I was going to be a DJ once again – had I concocted some sort of comeback masterplan, it could never have worked out anything like as well as it has. It’s definitely been a case of ‘from small acorns’.

It still never ceases to amaze me that people from another continent are interested in my DJ past. Back in the early 80’s, before I went into retirement for 20 years, the furthest I travelled (with the exception of the appearances I made in the South of England as part of The Hacienda Review in late ’83) was to places like Birmingham and Nottingham, when I played at All-Dayers, so to find myself in clubs on the other side of the world is pretty nuts!

Anyhow, I’d like to wish everyone all the best for 09. Big thanks to all the promoters who booked me and everyone who danced to the tunes I played during ’08 in Adelaide, Barcelona, Belfast, Berlin, Birmingham, Blackburn, Brighton, Bristol, Dublin, Dundee, Edinburgh, Fukuoka, Glasgow, Hamburg, Leeds, Lisbon, Liverpool, London, Los Angeles, Manchester, Melbourne, Milan, New York, Newcastle, Nottingham, Paris, Porto Alegre, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Sheffield, Sydney, Tokyo and Warsaw. Also the festivals and special events that I appeared at - Bestival (Isle Of Wight), Big Chill (England), Camp Bestival (England), Garden Festival (Croatia), Ibiza, Lovebox (England), Notting Hill Carnival (England), Rockness Festival (Scotland), Sonar (Spain) and the Southport Weekender (England).

Hope to see you soon.

Greg


FORUM POST DURING FOLLOWING DAYS:                                                        
Thanks for all the positive words. The feedback has been pretty phenomenal, far exceeding what I’d hoped for, especially on the BBC page, where I’d expected that some people would criticize the amount of older music included - the Radio 1 audience is used to current stuff ('in new music we trust'), so I’d anticipated a more mixed reaction. What’s particularly pleasing is that they were all made without the people seeing what each other wrote (they all came online at once, having been checked first by whoever moderates the BBC pages, I presume for swearing etc following the Ross / Brand controversy).

You always hope something you've done will be well received, but the response to this has blown me away.

Greg


ANSWER TO POST RE MIXING PROCESS:                                                      
It was quite a laborious process. Before I could start the actual mixing part I had to edit every track to a coherent length of around two and a half minutes average, inclusive of in and out points. I had a pool of about 90 tracks that fitted the criteria I'd set (a representative selection of the biggest tunes I've been playing during the past 5 years). It wasn't as straightforward as just editing the 43 tracks I ended up featuring - in order to have the necessary options once I started to piece the mix together I needed to have all the tracks at my disposal, just as I would have if I was out deejaying in a club, so the only thing to do was edit all 90 to the required length, even though I knew that only half would make the cut .

Once that was finally done they were all taken across into my laptop, enabling me to vari-speed them via PCDJ whilst I recorded across to my home computer into Cool Edit Pro, where I put the mix together track by track, before adding overdubs (fx, samples, textures) in a similar way to what I do live using the Revox (reel to reel).

I could quite easily have spent another day, tweaking bits here and there and adding more overdubs (the older I get the more finicky I become), but I had a deadline to work to, so, as it moved ever nearer, it became a race against time, with me doing as much as I could before the cut off point arrived.

sound(ge)cloud - Sunset Grooves Special by Funky Chap - mélange

Jeremy aka Funky Chap and me are united by our great passion for music. His Sunset Grooves project is at least as diversified as my podcast. We both refuse being labelled and we publish everything first and foremost for our own delight. In his new mix he has tried to turn the different styles that define Sunset Grooves into a story… and I can tell you: he reached his ambitious goal. A colourful journey through deep, groovy, spaced-out and cheerful sounds.
Jeremy, it is a real pleasure being your friend! Open your ears, spring is coming!

Jeremy aka Funky Chap und mich verbindet die große Liebe zur Musik. Sein Sunset Grooves Projekt ist ähnlich abwechslungsreich wie meine Podcast-Reihe. Wir wollen uns wohl beide nicht in eine Schublade stecken lassen und veröffentlichen alles, was in erster Linie uns gefällt. In seinem neuem Mix hat er nun versucht die verschiedenen Stile, die Sunset Grooves ausmachen, in eine Geschichte zu verpacken… und ich muss sagen das ist Ihm mehr als gelungen. Eine bunte Reise durch deepe, groovige, spacige und verspielte Sounds. 
Jeremy, es ist mir eine wahre Freude mit dir befreundet zu sein. Ohren auf, hier kommt der Frühling!

sound(ge)cloud 023  Sunset Grooves Special by Funky Chap - mélange

South African pioneers of all things disco, slow and editorial, Slow Mo Lounge, have launched a new look for 2018.

To celebrate, they've enlisted the sounds of Essex-based, slow burner aficionado, Chuggin Edits, who has dropped a really groovy, soul-inspired mix. 

In Gary's words, the mix is maxed out at 96 bpm. Featuring music from Karm ,Vigi, James Rod, Folamour, as well as Jo Wallace and Ashley Beadle's super-label Ram Rock. 

Producer and DJ, Chuggin Edits, is a resident for The Last Days Of Shoreditch in London and is no stranger to the depth and infectious groove of slow mo as a genre.

As dynamic a button basher as he is a selector, Chuggin Edits relentlessly continues to deliver on scorching, floor banging edits, inspired by the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Loose Change, and Stephanie Mills to name a few. His production credits include Deep Sense, FKR, Alpaca Edits, Masterworks Music and Boutade Musique (again, to name a few).

Welcome back Chuggs! South Africa loves you.

Russia-based, nu-disco and slow-mo powerhouse, Buzz Compass, is our next feature in the Slow Mo Lounge mix series, alongside South African founder DJ Kongisto.

They've collaborated on yet another 3hr soundscape driven by chunky nu-disco reworks, and slow-mo sounds, played at an 88 to 95BPM rhythmic speed.

Kongisto says: It's been quite an honour to play alongside such a prolific producer. My biggest privilege is being able to connect with people from countries outside of my own with a common purpose, it's almost like sharing a language. For Andrey and I, it was a love for Deep and Slow-Mo House as well as Disco that brought us together - proving once again that music is a borderless society - something I'd like to harness with every release.

Buzz Compass, aka Andrey Bychenkov, is a producer and DJ who hails from St. Petersburg Russia. Since 1997 Andrey has been the resident DJ in his native city of Ivanovo and Nizhny Novgorod where he has lived for a couple of years, honing his skills on the turntables. 

Now based in St. Petersburg, Buzz has been producing since 2011 with multiple releases on Glenview Records as well as three EPs on No More Hits Records. 

He has also released his own music on top labels such as Editorial, Whiskey Disco, Masterworks Music, Midnight Riot, Freedom Sessions and more. 

Andrey loves repping his country; Russia, never passing up an opportunity to spin natively and in neighbouring countries Belarus and Kazakhstan. An avid disco collector and lover, Buzz is always looking for local disco and house music artists to promote the Russian scene which is exemplary in his dynamic sets & mixes. 

From Russia and South Africa with love.

2018 NYE WKEND HOUSE MIX by the KOTW

Testament to his name, Guillermo Gonzalez aka Hotmood, is ranked the world's *6th hottest nu-disco producer in 2018 (**Traxsource Honorary Accreditation). He also joins the Slow Mo Lounge mix series as the first artist to break 2019, alongside DJ Kongisto. 

Founder, Kongisto says:   'It's always awesome to connect with global stalwarts who celebrate slow-mo, editorial disco and disco as a genre of choice - collaborating with Hotmood was no exception. He is definitely one of my favourite producers, playing music alongside him is a dream come true.  Mexico has a lot in common with South Africa, sharing an ear and taste for the same quality music I hope makes that collective consciousness stronger. It's a borderless society'.

Hotmood's style reflects his productions , combining slo-mo boogie, groove laden disco, quality house, 70’s funk, and deep sounds; the Mexico-based producer/DJ is a real crowd setter, thanks to decades of deejaying and continental travel experience. 

Hotmood has played live for crowds  in Asia, Singapore,  Colombia, San Diego, Las Vegas, Houston, Los Angeles, Tijuana, Mazatlan, Playa Del Carmen, CDMX, Guadalajara, Mexicali and more.

Hotmood's production credits include: Starecreature * Whiskey Disco * Editorial Records * Discoweey * Masterworks * Whiskey Pickle * Hot Digits * De La Groove * SFSB * Deep Sense & * Spa In Disco *.

Hotmood X Slow Mo Lounge (Nu - Year Edition)

Essex-based, edit king, Chuggin Edits and South African based pioneers in everything Disco, Nu-Disco & Editorial, Slow Mo Lounge, are back with a new tape. 

'After a highly successful first run of the year featuring Mexico's Hotmood, I've been itching to work with internationals again, Gary was no exception. It was long overdue, Chuggin's got new songs and inspirations we've both been dying to get behind and share with South African ears and the world. And with the launch of his new label Slightly Transformed, this was the perfect opportunity to share  new music and some die-hard favourites. Gary is like a brother to me and arguably my biggest inspiration and mentor, I love working with him' says Kongisto about the mix and Chuggin Edits. 

Label owner, producer and DJ, Chuggin Edits, is no stranger to the depth and infectious groove of slow mo as a genre and relentlessly continues to deliver on scorching, floor banging edits, inspired by the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Loose Change, and Stephanie Mills to name a few.

South African based pioneers in everything Disco, Nu-Disco & Editorial, Slow Mo Lounge, are back with a new tape. This time they keep it local with back to back music from Slow Mo Lounge residents, Clive Bean and Kongisto.

Kongisto had this to say about the mixtape: 'with the COVID-19 pandemic having a massive impact on us as a country and globe, it’s good to know we can always rely on music to get us through. This tape was no exception. The songs were carefully selected to lift the mood, even when we’re in isolation, using a genre both Clive and I love. I really enjoyed playing these edits, and we hope you enjoy listening to them'.

Vosloorus-born, Clive Mofokeng’s (fondly known as Clive Bean) music career started in 1994, serving mixtapes in high school inspired by then-popular radio station, Radio Bop. The station covered a wide range of musical tastes, from KRS One, Keith Murray & De la Soul (to name a few). This also included funk and soul greats like Diana Ross, Ashford and Simpson plus Kool and the Gang - this inspired Clive Bean, the DJ.

With 25 years in deejaying, residencies at some of Joburg’s most iconic clubs, a YFM residency, compilations with super- label Soul Candi, clothing label Levi’s, as well as giants, Defected Records (for Downtown Grooves), it’s safe to say Clive Bean really knows how to deliver good music. This has also earned him the role as the current Head DJ Lecturer and Music Business Training Advisor at  Boston City Campus, an institution of higher learning in Johannesburg.

The mix is 3-hours long with new edits, some classics and household staples.

From Vosloorus and Diepkloof, with love.

Clive Bean X Slow Mo Lounge

Renowned UK producer, Slightly Transformed co-founder and Essex-based DJ, Chuggin Edits, is back with a new tape alongside Slow Mo Lounge founder and South African native, Kongisto. 

It's been a year since their last release which has gained worldwide popularity for its seamless, infectious groove - the new one is no exception. 

'Over the years, Gary and I have become somewhat of a dynamic duo when it comes to slow-mo blends. It's taken quite some time to put this mix together, it's something quite special, we hope you guys enjoy listening to it as much as we did coming together to create it. ' says Kongisto about the mixtape.

Label owner, producer and DJ, Chuggin Edits, is no stranger to the depth and infectious groove of slow-mo as a genre and relentlessly continues to deliver on scorching, floor banging edits, inspired by the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Loose Change, and Stephanie Mills to name a few. His production credits include Slightly Transformed (his own label), Deep Sense, FKR, Alpaca Edits and Masterworks Music (again, to name a few).

The mix is a slow, four-hour journey, jam-packed with new and unreleased edits, household favourites plus songs from Juno Download's number-one-rated Nu-Disco compilation, Slightly Transformed Summer Numbers 2020.

After a successful run with Essex-based edit king, Chuggin Edits, Slow Mo Lounge is back with another round of infectious, slow-mo grooves to round off a COVID year. This time they feature Buenos Aires native (and now living in London), producer slash DJ, FabioLous Barker. 

Kongisto had this to say about the latest mix: 'Working with Fabio has been awesome, after collecting and buying his music for a while, it's a dream come true to feature a stalwart who understands and knows how to make quality slow-mo music that I love. I really enjoyed working with him and we hope our collective efforts translate into something our followers will enjoy too.'

FabioLous Barker started his deejaying career in 1983 as the local kid in Buenos Aires armed with nothing but two cassette tape recorders. As a producer, Fabio started creating remixes and compilations in high school, rapidly gaining popularity amongst his peers - requests to play at different parties in his hometown soon followed.

Highly influenced by British New Wave, Electropop, and Synthpop, bands like Soft Cell, Fad Gadget, Duran Duran, and Japan - this laid the foundation for his own musical output. His live debut came in 1987 where he sang and played keyboard synthesizers in a (short-lived) local synth-pop band. 1989 he made the move to deejaying professionally playing in clubs using his unique blend of Belgian New Beat and Acid House. 

In the 90s, after working at leading record stores in town, his passion for vinyl grew to not only one but owning three records stores of his own. In 2006, he finally made the move to London, a place where he felt he could combine two of his biggest passions: digging for analog equipment from the 80s plus disco-funk, and so FabioLous Barker was born.

FabioLous Barker is no stranger to working with nu-disco pioneers, having created remixes with the likes of Cole Medina, Dim Zach, Evil Smarty, Jay Airiness, Cut Master, Exotic Contrast, Sare Havlicek, Phil Disco, C. Da Afro, Kellini, Nicko Marinelli, Ziggy Phunk, Tomas Malo, Soultronic, DownUnder Disco, Funk Hunk, Jayl Funk, Chewy Rubs, Ash Reynolds, Henri Le Blanc, Saskin S, Cuz Electric, Don Dayglow, Limpodisco, and Situation (to name a few).

His production credits include Ganbatte Records (his own record label), Deep Sense. Midnight Riot, Katakana, Sound Exhibitions, Hotbox Boogie, Alpaca Edits,  And Friends, Masterworks Music, Sound Exhibitions, Disco Fruit, and Electric Friends.

The mix is a sultry combination of lounge, house, beatdown soul, nu-disco, and slow-mo.  It features loads of new music, familiar favorites, and classics from different record labels and artists from around the world.

FabioLous Barker X Slow Mo Lounge

Cape Town-based, Slow Mo Lounge resident DJ and Head of Design, Ernst Next, has released the 3rd annual 'Festive Disco'.

Effortlessly taking the reins from DJ Kongisto, Ernst Next's new mix is still about delivering the types of sounds you'd come to expect from a good ol' South African Christmas - it's all about playing music that we traditionally love listening to around this time of year. 

Ernst says: '2020 has been an immense year full of trials and tribulations. With this mix, I focused on an overall uplifting sound, but one with a few reminders of what a year it's been. I had a lot of fun making this mix, and I hope you enjoy it'. 

Love from Cape Town, South Africa. 🇿🇦❤️
