Fidra Loves To Boogie

Next up in the series we have up and coming DJ Fidra! Raised in Scotland but coming of age in the South-West, Fidra is a Bristol-based DJ who’s been collecting Jazz, Funk and Soul since he can remember. From up-tempo disco and organic 70s funk, to dirty 80s electro and boogie, Fidra brings a special focus on pulsating, energetic dance music, with his Fidra Funk Party series. He hopes to turn the spotlight on past and future classics with some lesser-known selections.

In this mix Fidra presents a Disco-Funk special, with most tracks from 79/80/81. Expect an organic, more laid-back sound than straight boogie, with some early hip hop, and afro influences also thrown in for good measure, get involved!

Fidra Loves To Boogie

Joe Morris seemed to come out of nowhere until I realized he was in front of me all along, as part of the Clandestino crew who put out a handful of nu-balearic joints on wax that I was checking in the late teens and on 12” singles for quirky & adventuresome labels like Pleasure Unit, Is It Balearic? & Wonder Stories. When his 2019 full-length album Exotic Language launched Joe’s Shades Of Sound label and a collab with local homie Cole Odin, I was all-in! SOS has been firing on all cylinders recently, and when Joe reached out we realized he’d be perfect for the first international guest on the mix series since the relaunch. 

A lovely journey through languid afternoons on a hot beach, nostalgic throwbacks to the good old days, obscure 80s blue-eyed funk, AOR groovers, foreign versions of beloved heaters, heady ambience, some Spanish guitar (natch!) and a heap of Balearic feelings are what this mix is all about. Perfect vibes for the final lights of Summer! Thanks Joe for the mix and we hope you enjoy.
