WOW! Gangstercast 16 is quite the special treat from Ibiza-based Mo'funk.  56 tracks of Gangster flavoured house, hip hop and party jams expertly squeezed into two hours.  And if that wasn't enough Mo'funk's production and DJ sidekick Sergio Selim (aka Don Dolla) also showcases his talents on the Talkbox! 

Speaking of the mix, Mo'funk says, "It's a great opportunity to flex my range as a DJ. I'm not one to be pigeonholed into any particular sound, this mix shows the lengths I've gone to to select music from the years that have the 'gangster touch'.  When it comes to a mixtape, I got that game locked! After all, its how I first met Sneak back in 2006 at a friends BBQ in San Francisco.  Our Mergio tracks are now up and available for free download. 2 free EP's and 1 more to come next month 
(go to www.soundcloud.com/themergio) We've taken the elements of G-Funk and have made some fresh new sounds - a 100% dedication the sounds of the G! Gangster Boogie from the heart."

"I made this mix a little different to the regular Gangstercast sessions. As a versatile DJ I have to go back to my roots on this mix, for me, the Gangster movement started way back in the funk and boogie days of the late 70's and 80's with cats like Roger Troutman, George Clinton, Prince etc. I'm a huge fan of the G-Funk movement in Hip-Hop from the 90's and I certainly pay tribute to the artists that made those classics like Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, DJ Quik and all the legends in the gangster Hip-Hop movement. Of course there is sounds from the 80's Boogie era, classic Chicago House, and current House jams that have that element of the G. Expect to hear scratching, juggling, looping and all the techniques of what a real DJ is supposed to do!"

Mo'funk is a House Gangster through and through, with a deep rooted love of real, raw House music.  "Being a House Gangster is about having a true love for House music, its about standing up for what's right in a genre thats been tarnished so much lately from commercial acts wanting the $. House music is a feeling, that feeling you get when your entire body just wants to move, you feel it inside your soul, your whole being just wants to groove! House music is not a trend or fad, its a way of life! I will always be a G when it comes to showing people what real house music is.  It has elements of times past, influenced by all the greats that have made an impact in the musical landscape, the kicks are big, the hats swing, the baselines are always deep and funky. Its that sound that you just want to snap your neck to. Its got the disco, funk, and soul sounds of yesteryear with the techniques and vibe of today."

Love 7

Jensen Interceptor and Assembler Code drop their collaborative ‘Hyper Reality’ EP on Cultivated Electronics next week (23rd April).

The two producers have proved to be amongst the most exciting to surface as part of the recent return of electro. In the last few years Jensen Interceptor’s reputation has rocketed, with releases through Boys Noize and Sheffield’s Central Processing Unit (CPU), whilst together the pair are responsible for rollicking tracks like ‘Drum Rack’ – something that’s been on office rotation at DJ Mag since it dropped in February.

Cultivated Electronics label-boss Sync 24 subsequently tapped Jensen Interceptor and Assembler Code for the ‘Hyper Reality’ EP, made up of four tracks of dark, driving electro. We’ve got the exclusive premiere of his remix of the title track above.

With Cultivated Electronics, Sync 24 has been responsible for helping push UK electro back to the fore with a string of releases from artists including Morphology, Silicon Scally and The Resonance Committee.

Speaking about his rework of ‘Hyper Reality’, Sync 24 told DJ Mag, “I went for a tight staccato robotic vibe on this one with some bubbly acid and drive for the dancefloor. I’m super happy to have these guys on the label!”

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Jensen Interceptor and Assembler Code’s ‘Hyper Reality (Sync 24 remix)’ above.

Premiere: Jensen Interceptor & Assembler Code ‘Hyper Reality (Sync 24 remix)’

“Saved My Life“ is a joint project led by label bosses Micky (The Healing Company) and Hermann (Tieffrequent)@the-healing-company

Micky Explains:

"He sent me a couple of demos a few years ago, I loved his music and immediately decided to release a twelve inch on the Healing Company. For that reason, we met afterwards several times in Berlin and became close friends. We found out quickly that we are kind of “soulmates”, made for each other, sharing the same sense of humor, politics, philosophy – and of course the same love for music. Even if we are both releasing mostly contemporary house music on our respective labels, our deepest love is for soulful music from the old days. We are fascinated by the lovely vibes of the past, this special touch of melancholia, emotion, deepness and playfulness that is difficult to put it into words – it is something you can feel much better when listening.

One day we had the idea to do some edits of long forgotten tunes we love. After a couple of studio sessions, the result was our first release, “A Piano Saved My Life“ with four piano-driven edits out of Jazz Funk, Italo Disco and some Balearic vibes. We released it as a small vinyl edition on my new sub-label “Piano Music“ and we got very surprised by the warm and positive feedback the EP had worldwide.

Instead of just playing the compactos from beginning to end we tried another approach: avoiding fade ins and outs and doing a mix with a constant flow and vibe. This proved at the end much trickier as we originally thought, since one of the most charming aspects of old Brazilian music is also that you have very well produced commercial albums on the one hand and independent lo-fi recordings on the other hand – but just as good and worth to listen and play! 
After digging in our collections and choosing around 80 records, we reduced the selection to fit into a 90 minutes mix, creating a journey that spans some of Brazil’s most popular music genres: from classic Bossa Nova to MPB, Samba Soul, Samba Rock, Boogie, Disco, Forro, Tropicalia and Psychedelia, from 60 bpm to 140 bpm. Our selection is not dogmatic or academic, we are not presenting a certain time period, style or region – we even take a detour to Italy and France during the mix. What we want to present are records and music that are touching us emotionally, with their delightful vibes from the past, including songs from the early 70s to the early 90s, some well known and highly appreciated, some more obscure or completely unknown, some from reputable artists, some from “one-hit wonders “, who disappeared in the depths of time.
