Droptor Seuss - Track Releases

Now for something a little different... as soon as I heard exquisite Mountain Man (@mountain-man-official) song "Rang Tang Ring Toon" I knew it was begging for a disco-inspired mid-tempo dance remix. The punchy drums and wailing sax came very naturally to my mind and I'm pleased to say I think it worked out well. After listening to a lot of @soulwaxofficial remixes over summer I'd be silly not to acknowledge the influence. I'm not sure how this remix might make its way into a Droptor Seuss set but let's see what happens in 2021. 

Side Note: I didn't realise at the time I was putting this track together that one third of Mountain Man is @sylvanesso's Amelia Meath - SE's album "Free Love" was also on high rotation for me over the Australian summer.

Featuring samples from The Very Best's "Kampopho" and Lazy Flow's remix of that track (though many may mistake the source as Archtecture in Helsinki, who also sampled the same tracks), this song takes those elements and splices them with downtempo deep house sounds to give you a chance to ponder the beauty around you. Hope you enjoy!

In exchange for delivering my sister's bass guitar to my studio in Melbourne, my father requested I prepare an down tempo song for him. He needed it for a remote video presentation for an upcoming art & design conference (Fun-i-ture) in Singapore. To set the scene appropriately, I had Carli McMartin freeform play piano in my studio to produce the piano samples you hear throughout. From there it was developed through an initial focus of the aforementioned bass guitar and slowly layering with my steelstring acoustic (recorded both out of tune and with a missing string) then using some samples and midi to fill it out. 

The result is something entirely different from my usual production but something I thoroughly enjoyed creating, especially the organic textures.

Droptor Seuss (feat. Carli McMartin) - Amour En Absencia (Film)

After many cancelled gigs and music generally being on the backburner, a few months ago I returned to my studio and began working on a new track. What started off as a remix, then a random MIDI bassline turned into a 3 month journey of deep exploration of sound, mixing and creative expression. The resulting track, an eerie deep house track driven by busting santur riffs, soothing melancholy vocals and fast paced percussion loops. For my typically more downtempo style, this is a faster paced experience and one that I found my DJ sets generally missing out on. I hope you enjoy the result and please feel more than welcome to download it for your own DJ library. 
Much love,

A High Noon shuffle, coming off the back of a serious first night.
I crafted a set that brought the deep lush bush vibes found at the top of the South Island New Zealand created by the splendiferous Boogie Wonderland crew at Woop In The Wops 2023. Warming up the floor, setting the scene for some top shelf internationals  &  and local DJ's.
Bringing joy from the center of my soul having friends dance away to the awesome sound system. 
Special love goes to all and everybody that either built this event or came along and shared their smiles, This party will be very hard to beat in 2023. I'm already dreaming of 2024.....

Woop In The Wops 2023

Sharing my set from the cheeky dance floor we created in the Delicious kitchen of Relish on the early hours of Saturday morning.  It was a real pleasure to come together with such a great bunch to celebrate after what has been a whirlwind of a summer.  And turns out this set captures many tracks special to me over the past few months 💛 some groovy some moody and described by many as 'chill not chill', which is right up my alley!

Big love and thank you to all of you relish family for welcoming me so warmly, it’s been a real treat creating these memories with you!

David Juno @ Relish Festival 2023

Presenting my ~8 minute remix of Fela Kuti's No Agreement. Starting in true spirit to the original it allows for the keyboard and sax solos while blending modern bass, kick and a crazy amount of stereo mixed percussion until spinning out into a drop, build and then finishing with a more modern bass filled and organ oozing finish. More background on the story behind the work below.

***
I first heard Fela Kuti's music when I was living in Mozambique. A German traveler passing through the small city of Chimoio (where I was working) shared a hard drive of music with me. The highlight among the vast collection was Fela's infective afrobeat - a weird and wonderful form of hot jazz that was popularized in Africa in the 1970s. Today it's a genre in itself and Fela is the godfather. When No Agreement came on the radio some years ago, I was absolutely hooked from the beginning. I always dreamed of using my production skills to turn it into something I could play on a dancefloor. This was not easy. A live recording from 1970s, I had to painstakingly warp the track to a consistent BPM, manually EQ each part out, figure out how to maintaint he spirit of the chaotic live jam vibe in the original into a more structured track. And of course I couldn't help but add in more percussion than anyone should. This remix has been a project of mine for the last 2+ years and I've learned so much about production in the process. It still doesn't sound perfect to my ears but I'm throwing in the towel in the interests of moving forward with new projects. I hope you enjoy the track and if so I urge you to find more amazing Fela Kuti music. He was an incredible once in a generation musician. Enjoy!

Fela Kuti - No Agreement (Droptor Seuss Remix)

Sometimes you just need a 120 BPM banger to raise the roof. Inspired by the remix of Jama Ko by @masalo-music which I absolutely love playing in my sets. This track doesn't have any deep story or meaning, it's just meant to be fun.

Sunset Grooves began 6 years ago and back then the idea of having 10 mixes was already an achievement.... we are now at Number 150 and the talent that has passed through this podcast is unbelievable with so many artists who were not necessarily known when they made their mix for Sunset, but are know headlining events is so dope to see! https://soundcloud.com/funky-chap is proud and inspired! 

For this special 150th edition it is an absolute pleasure to have done a b2b with the wonderful https://soundcloud.com/atroposvibes . To put you in context, we literally began this mix while the sun was setting and finished well into the dark! A musical journey of all sorts of sub genres and references starting off at 92bpm and finishing at 119bpm. It wasn't easy finding our bearings at the beginning but we then found the flow, the mojo, THAT vibe and just kept on giving! The mix is by no means perfect, but the imperfections is what makes this set a sunset grooves musical experience and a real b2b! Not afraid to try out tracks we had never played or even thought about putting together. Hopefully we can show you the "making of" video as we laughed and danced like mad men who love music! 

We are of course happy to share the track IDs should you request them and make sure you keep on grooving, dancing, smiling! 

Merci mon greg pour ce voyage de malade!

perrengue b2b jubá @ ano novo na ilha quack + limbo (02/01/2020)

Our time on Earth is precious, so we spend it with swick legends. 

The vibe was nice, we got cute and got loose. 

The East St NYE Festival was a hit, with an upgraded sound system on the Rusty Jellybean Booth. 

Juups' genre-spanning set took us into a night of endless wonder and set the stage as the prelude to our future.

Prelude To The Future - NYE 2020

Recorded live Nov 6, 2020, celebrating the release of Ganucheau’s album “Variations on a Playground." The influence this music has had on me is hard to overstate. I consider Ganucheau's sound and this album in particular to be the core of my experience at Priceless, one that I deeply enjoy sharing with others at the event. And now, we can all share it at home thanks to its release.

The evening was intended to be full of soothing music, as in the US we were in the 4th night of not having election results - it had been quite a week and we all needed something other than the news and doomscrolling for a few hours. My set attempts to channel the mix of emotions I've been feeling over the last months, give a little rise and fall, and end on a soft note. Like we do in the forest.

Ganucheau Album Release Party - Nov 6 2020

Middle eastern vocals meet West African guitar with a peppering of south Asian percussion and a side serve of Latin jazz, all rolled up around a hearty four to the floor beat you can dance to. That's the signature world music cocktail from Droptor Suess.

Hailing from the multicultural melting pot of Melbourne, Australia with heritage from Eastern Europe and a fascination with folk music from around the world, Droptor Seuss was born after years traversing the globe discovering a wide array of musical traditions and a dream to showcase their melodies through the lens of modern electronic production.
