Weekly Wave 13

Jussi sees the essence of disco as a soiled mattress you have passed out on in a cellar in Marrakech, a mattress infested with fungal growths born of insects and bodily fluids. As you lay there half unconscious, microscopic tentacles emerge from textures below and pore into the folds of your flesh, squirming up into your brain. Irreversibly perverted you will then rise, hungry for unsafe and strange music.
 
Jussi is part of the Overfitting Disco dj collective, explorers in the further regions of the disco experience. He has played the sound f. ex. in Tokyo (Knock Koenji), Detroit (UFO Factory, Paris (Le Nouveau Casino, Le Java), Berlin (Arkaoda), Barcelona (the Glove parties) and at the infamous Camp Cosmic events. @jussikantonen

Rainbow Disco Club and Rush Hour, a long-standing friendship that transcends continents! House, disco, new wave, Caribbean, rare groove, leftfield.. Antal compiles the first, personal choice cuts, compilation album out of his own Rush hour label.

Internationally recognised and much-loved festival from Japan, Rainbow Disco Club’s offshoot project "Beyond Space And Time" record label presents their sophomore release! Following the work by DJ Nobu, their second compilation has been compiled by none other than Antal. Also known as the festival's headliner and the man behind Amsterdam's finest record shop/label Rush Hour, all 11 tracks are selected by Antal in a 2 x 12-inch + bonus 7-inch format. From local Dutch newcomers to '80s Japanese cult music, rare grooves to danceable house music, and rare Caribbean soul, this compilation is a portrait of music enthusiast Antal Heitlager’s enormous collection and 30-year DJ career, a work of art that can be enjoyed by all music fans!

An afro electronics track recommended by South African collector DJ Okapi, who co-produced the masterpiece compilation "Pantsula!: Rise Of Electronic Dance Music In South Africa: 1988-90" released in 2017, which brought Kwaito back onto the map. A-1 

Improvisation Organic Deep House track by New Zealand’s newcomer. A-2

A rare breezin' boogie by Larry Heard’s alias Trio Zero from 1989. Highly sought after by all collectors as a cult Balearic track. Previously unreleased version. B-1

From the 2015 album by L.A. funk maker DAM-FUNK on the prestigious Stones Throw label. LO-FI beats and synthetic breakdowns that are reminiscent of early Rush Hour works and ‘90s house. B-2

The debut single of Japanese idol unit, Shohjo-Tai. Haruomi Hosono also produced some of their tracks later on in their career. Japanese new wave disco from 1984. C-1

The soundtrack from the Japanese manga "Touring Express". RDC fans will recognize this track from the final hours of the festival. A nostalgic oriental disco from 1985. C-2

80s Silky Mellow Soul by Connecticut jazz vocalist Dianne Mower who also contributed to the re-press of the prestigious Numero Group. D-1

The original version is a masterpiece from 1983 by Zouk singer Jocelyn Mocka of French Guadeloupe. This edit still very much emphasizes an emotional mid-tempo Caribbean soul, nicely reconstructed by Bonnefooi. D-2

The first 500 copies will include a limited 7-inch bonus disc featuring a Dutch artist. 
Modal jazz track from the Han Litz Group led by Han Litz, a jazz flute player representing the local Amsterdam scene. A-1

A freestyle percussion jam track inspired by Brazilian and Klaus Weiss music. Los Calxunxos Tuyos, derived from the band Zuco 103 formed by students of the Rotterdam Conservatory. B-1

A mysterious electronic pop floating, between the dance floor and easy listening by Rush Hour's Kamma. B-2

A total of 11 tracks from all types of genres and generations, a true masterpiece and representation of Rainbow Disco Club’s vision “Beyond Space And Time”. Bringing you the love from Amsterdam to the world!

First hour at the last Almost Exotic event at Sameheads where i've hosted Odopt & Lily Haz.

"First and last hours of parties are always my favourite to play, and in this particular one i enjoyed playing my "Empty Dancefloor" folder off my stick, playing some of my favourite songs and rhythms to a an empty space, infusing it with the vibrations and energies, building it up to the spark that will ignite the party. You can consider this hour as the buildup, i dunno. Enjoy"

Although all three tracks offer the listener valuable insight into the level of music production ingenuity that was going on in Japan at the time, it's "Electric City" that really stands out as an unmistakably unique dancefloor track, where the then teenage female vocalists from Shohjo-Tai are left out and a galloping 120BPM beat sets a blank canvas for a number of unexpected elements to present: completely unorthodox accents in a wide range of unidentifiable sounds, a very enthusiastic electric guitar solo, the Ennio Morricone-esque Spaghetti Western vocal moments, all of which get contrasted with a blissful chorus that reminds one that this is somehow still a collaboration with a Japanese female idol band from the 80s. A hard track to forget even in the less sober dancefloors, it is no surprise that it would be a fundamental secret weapon in the repertoire of diggers such as Dea Barandana. Can't go wrong, buy on sight. Remastered with new artwork.

Optimo Music excitedly unleashes Japan’s GǼG and their Anarcho Disco volumes 1 & 2 into the world. We thought we were done with 12” single release, at least for now, but then these tracks showed up and it was instantly obviously ESSENTIAL that they get pressed up on big fat twelve inch singles. Every single track here has been tried and tested and caused delirious delight on the dancefloor over the last year. Now it is time to share them with YOU! Truly Anarchic, Psychedelic dance music for the open-minded and genre-free crews.

GǼG say -


DISKO KLUBB boss MONKEY TIMERS, who leads Tokyo's underground disco scene, and KEITA SANO, who has been gaining attention for his releases on labels around the world, have started the project "GǼG”.

Using a variety of sampling and unique FX, our music has created a unique GǼG sound that is psychedelic and anarchic. 

This subversive sound is sure to be the key to shaking the dance floor.

Volume 1, 12" and digital released 23/08/24. Volume 2, 20/09/24.

Distribution via Kompakt.

Magic Carpet Ride 34

The radio season has finally begun again at Groningen's finest radio station, Relate Radio, after a two month summer break. Just like last season I'll host my own show called Jam City @ Relate Radio in which I showcase an hour of South African dance music from the 90's with a focus on a specific theme or subject. 

For this month's episode and the season two opener the theme was Kariba Records. Kariba was part of Tusk Music and handled the local music division. It was formed in 1993 and almost straight from the get go they released Kwaito and South African House records up until 1997 when it got sold to the Gallo Record Company.

Personally Kariba Records is one of the most stand out labels when it comes to Kwaito music. This partly comes due to the diversity in releases, it gives a really good insight into all the different subgenres there were back in the early years of development of the genre. I've tried to showcase this diversity in this show.

Tracklist:
1. Sharon Dee – Local Is Lekker
2. Syloman – Mhana Gezane
3. Khakha & Hlengiwe – You Care For Me
4. Monwa – Juicy Lady
5. Professor Rhythm – Kancane Kancane
6. Dennis Mpale – Paying My Bills
7. Malcolm – Jema
8. Bibbi – Just Another Memory (Stumpa Dance Mix)
9. T.A. Connection – Thank You Babe
10. Hip Hits – I Wanna Dance
11. Mpumi – Shibilika
12. Dance II Sweat – Duke Box (Remix)
