Interstellar Funk

The Netherlands has no shortage of celebrated DJs and producers, but now it is time to shine a light on one that is deserving of a much wider audience. Amsterdam’s Interstellar Funk is a young record hound and talented producer who loves real melody in his music. He releases on (and works at) Rush Hour and has put his textured sounds out on his own Tape Records label - it ranges from slow and absorbing to more urgent and physical, and his DJ sets are just as brave and far reaching. 

As a former Trouw resident, Interstellar Funk reaches far and wide for the records that make up his DJ sets. This tight one hour selection proves that as it transitions through cosmic melodic jams to corrugated electro and deep acid house. It makes for a mix that operates in a rich synth galaxy full of space dust and retro-future nostalgia. So, enjoy his absorbing mix and then get ready for his debut track on the Dekmantel label, a contribution to the Patta x Dekmantel compilation.

Born and raised in Amsterdam, KAMMA’s path to her craft could not have come more naturally. She is the child of parents who both have DJ’d professionally for over 25 years. Her instinct and open-mindedness result in sets that purvey a wide range of sounds, from disco to techno, jazz to house.

Along with DJ’ing, KAMMA is also part of the collective behind rising Amsterdam party series “Brighter Days”. A festive bi-montly get together drawing one of the city’s most up for it crowds. Here she has graced the decks with masters such as Osunlade, Mike Dunn, Ge-ology, K-Alexi and Jamie 3:26. 

Driven by a love of dreamy vibes, cosmic elements and complex rhythms, her sound is defined by an effortless contrast of sounds, energy and emotions.

Chilean DJ @paulatape learnt her craft in an after-hours club back home in Santiago, where she would crib from the residents before launching out on her own. A move to Milan led to her becoming a resident at the city's Rollover night, and now she's starting to make a name for herself with shows across Europe, playing with the likes of Young Marco, Mall Grab and Tornado Wallace. In addition to her regular show on Radio Raheem called 'Music for Plants', Paula has also appeared on Rinse FM and Red Light Radio. Enough words though - this excellent mix, which we're very grateful to Paula for recording for us - should be all the necessary introduction to this exciting DJ.

Paula Tape: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

This recording is from a very special evening where we celebrated Ace & Tate’s 5th birthday from the basement of Red Light Radio’s new store. A 5 hour listening session took place in which we asked 5 artists to select records for an hour each. The setting was extremely personal – guests sat cross-legged just a few feet away from the DJs and listened to the session through Red Light Radio’s fantastic Klipschorn speakers. What they got to experience was truly magical. 

Do sit back and enjoy these uniquely special trips into some weird and wonderful realms of music we’re not always given the chance to explore. 

We hope you enjoy these as much as we do. 

Thank you to all the artists, and to Red Light Radio for having us in their lovely new home.

To kick things off, the Amsterdam-based Interstellar Funk takes us through a series of cuts that are hard to place – at times cosmic and wave sounding, there’s a distinct industrial feel to his set. We get to hear hypnotic minimal synth ventures, tribal drums, disembodied guitars and haunting vocals. It’s a listen that is at times tense, but totally enthralling.

Hodge with Interstellar Funk - 6th September 2018

Ellie Stokes is a truly exciting Bristol-based selector, rapidly ascending from the underground with a DJ style that adds colour, variation and flavour to the retro house cuisine.

Here she comes forward with a head-spinning mix of grooves and moods, a wave of warm air peppered with sand, debris and spray. A texturally complex journey through sound.

In parts, this is a true spin of classic house.. But in more ways it's a shot through the kaleidoscope; slap bass, organic vocals, live drums, liquid analogue synths. Proper quality vibes from West Coast UK!

In Ellie's words...
"The  mix  was  recorded  at  the  end  of  the  summer  and  captures  the  early  evening  summer  headyness.  It's  compiled  from  tunes  I  was  listening  to  and  playing  out  at  the  time,  from  deep  and  chilled  to  more  dance  floor  vibes.  Recorded  in  my  sunny  flat  on  vinyl  and  digital."
