In our never ending quest to meet as many peers as we possibly can across an ever-expanding planetary soundscape, we have managed to get acquainted to the work of a multitude of fantastic people whose devotion to not only seeking but sharing the wealth of sonic treasures the globe holds resonates deeply with our mission. The same that fuels this series and has helped us cover a vast geographical area as well as discover many musical eras in our encounters. This one, for instance, brings us closer to the talents of a young French ensemble whose collective efforts have unearthed precious gems to cut them into gorgeous edits and place them in stunning jewels such as the selection we present here. Pompelope's passionate multifront work involves most things that connects us to all kinds of music in order to generate those special pleasures we hold dearest, from lively events to selling and distributing fantastic records, but also putting together delightful compilations such as the much lauded "Foule Contact" and this voyage of a mix. Fraîcheur française dans une saveur globale.

Few weeks ago, Timéo (@timeodj), one of the DJs from french collective La Rennes Des Voyous contacted us to share his latest mix. 
We really enjoyed the vibe of the podcast mainly based on what Timéo called the "funk sensations", the energy of funk and its origins that he tries to transcribe thru lots of genres and especially French synth & funk on this one.
While recording this, he quoted Soul Claps records  "[About Italo Funk] it is not a style, genre or a specific sound, it's more of an attitude, a mindset you have to put yourself into before producing or DJing."
So in this 100% vinyl mix expect many gems from some electronic japanese grooves, Armenian and Austrian funk, kwaito, afro funk or house.

O capitão da próxima viagem é o DJ, pesquisador e agitador cultural austro-húngaro Attila, responsável por desenvolver a cena da música dançante underground através do seu projeto e festa Atropa, em Graz, Áustria. Attila bebe da cena cósmica que se desenvolveu no norte da Itália e sul da Alemanha através dos precursores Daniele Baldelli e Stefan Egger, mas dá sua roupagem própria, o que fica evidente nesse mix: consistente nas transições e no mood, Attila costura entre synth-pop, ítalo retro-futurista, raï e, claro, downtempo cósmico, mantendo o BPM baixo e o Groove constante. Som pra navegar, orbitar, transitar, se colocar em movimento!

Next up is Attila, an Austrian-Hungarian DJ, music enthusiast and promoter based in Graz. Sewing through tribal, downtempo, synth-pop, italo, raï, and more, the mix chugs along at a steady, consistent and deep pace, involving the listener ever more into its 80's-future,
cosmic-ritualistic vibe. 
As a co-founder of the cult club nights Atropa he tries to give a forum for unconventional and fresh music inviting diggers and producers. As a DJ he became known through his eclectic musical journeys: His repertoire ranges from balearic Funk over afro Disco to spacy, uplifting House, always keen to keep things dreamy, but snappy - simultaneously retro and futuristic.

If anyone asks what is the fundamental raw material worked by the artisans we celebrate through this series, many answers may come to mind. After all, there are plenty of elements at play right at the center of that rich universe of interactions conjured between a DJ, the music and the crowd, all of them personally felt, collectively shared and universally understood. But, if we had to choose just one, it’d certainly be that very elusive yet quite tangible thing we call ‘groove’, the quintessential force that puts everything in motion within that interplay. It is also the substance that feeds this space so it can provide a platform for those who excel in its mastery as well as a place where everyone could enjoy its energy. The same a young talent such as Fruno manipulates with both care and flare to create situations where its power can be experienced in all its glory. Hailing from one of those idyllic spots that punctuate the vast Brasilian coast and honing his skills in the hedonistic dancefloors of the Southernmost parts of its shore, he carved his place as one of the most reliable selectors in the region by delivering sets brimming with that elemental force, much in a similar way as he keeps it flowing constantly throughout a mix that runs hectic in its pace, eclectic in its parts and ecstatic in its mood. At the end, what we have is yet another stellar example of the kind of excellence in the craft of making people dance that we are happy to enshrine here on a regular basis.
