FEAT.  HORS SERIE - Dawidu

As Eternal Love, cheeky chappies Fede and Edo are injecting that bit of extra joy into their output that we're all in need of. 

The Milanese duo's digging endeavours aren't confined to one sound or style, you'll find them scouring dusty crates for everything from lovers rock and jazz to Italian dream house and rock music. If they had to put a label on what they play though, they'd term it as SOUL music in all its different shapes and forms.

They've been gathering a healthy following across Europe and beyond through their tasteful sets and lighthearted approach, this year they've hit the UK, Belgium, Spain and South America, to name a few, but up next you'll find them closer to home at Polifonic Festival. The Polifonic link extends to curation too, the guys are also involved with an upcoming VA release, put together with the help of Yu Su, Lipelis and Benedek... Keep your eyes peeled for that. 

On the topic of releases, while Fede and Edo may have spent a lot of time digging and selecting, more recently they've been putting time into production. This August will see the release of their debut EP via firm favourites Planet Trip - trust us this one is a perfect soundtrack for summer.

Now, the pair tell us they tend to opt for the more "home listening" side of their collections when it comes to mixes and radio shows, but on this occasion they're going against the grain with a mix of the kind pop sounds you can expect to hear them playing this summer.

Made up of Balearic, disco, house and all that good stuff to make you move, their 'Shine A Light On' mix is soulful, sun-soaked and best accompanied, as the boys tell us, with a nice glass of cold white wine. Crack open a nice bottle and get stuck in...

Eternal Love: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Finally we got to the anniversary mix in our series and thanks to our new guest, producer and dj Bogdan Ra, who is currently based in Istanbul, we are happy to present the 11th episode.
You may have heard his edits, remixes and own tracks on his Bandcamp and Soundcloud, if not, we highly recommend listening this.
In the meantime, let's introduce the mix - we are incredibly happy that now in our guest collection there is a mix consisting of New Jack Swing, RnB and the rhythm that was often on MTV back in the days. Truly Night Lovers.
Music for driving, dancing during the chores and just having fun.

next slightly damaged mix is produced by @antvers. Part of @Karagi and @decadence-paris as a DJ, he's also an passionate juice vendor at the Cadi Paris 🍷.

Born and raised in the North of France, he grew up inspired by the Belgian electronic scene of the 90's, which has led him to perpetually search for new music and inspirations, for years, without boundaries between genres and eras. 

This mix is a selection of music that touches him deeply and puts him in a state of peaceful meditation, which can be compared to floating in the air, with nothing on your mind. 
Ant Vers firmly believes in the influence of music on your mental health.

Take a deep breath, open your ears, open your heart and float on.

Enjoy.

Sunrise at Wonderfruit 2023 (Neramit)

A while ago, our friends from The Mudd Show invited Toto Waak and Joaquin Fangmann to be part of their wonderful party that became a special memory at Club Der Visionaere. 

It felt like a cool day at the office around many dear friends and talented artists, in that comfy booth full of sunshine and the big energy of the people.
 
Cheers to The Mudd Show team <3

Here's 3.5 hours of what happened in their sassy musical brains that afternoon.

cast the 1st stone

After starting the mini Dekmantel Selectors podcast series two years ago, it feels like a tradition to bring it back to life. In the next couple of months, we will release 6 podcasts by some of the exciting artists from the line-up. This year’s podcasts challenges the artists to work around a theme or idea they picked theirselves. Next up: Dekmantel label member Tom Trago.

Trago can be seen as one of the main key players of Amsterdam's nightlife. Having grown up in a musical family, he picked up on his love for music really fast and has been making music from the age of 15 ever since. A collaboration with Aardvarck and Awanto3, a debut single on Rush Hour and many DJ-sets worldwide followed, which made Trago the acclaimed musician he is today. Earlier this month we had the honour to release Trago’s newest LP 'Bergen', which was made in the same-titled village in The Netherlands and sees him putting out music through a new live set-up.

In anticipation of Dekmantel Selectors, Trago cooked up a special mix for us containing lots of disco and summer-vibes. "This mix is dedicated to those late summer nights and early mornings. Mostly tracks that i play when i feel that there is freedom and acceptance among the crowd. A lot of home listenings jams And easy groovers. Sit back And relax!".
