U Got Me - Lee Foss

On 'Made of Wood', his ninth full-length album, Oliver Koletzki embodies the seasoned craftsman, carving out his deeply personal sonic sculptures with a confident, learned hand, while experimenting with a broad range of thrilling ideas and fresh textures. Initially written in Tulum in late 2019, Koletzki completed the album in Berlin aided by numerous live musicians and vocalists, bringing his sketches to life with a focus on wooden instruments like djembes, marimbas, santoors or duduks, thus sculpting a natural sound that's warm in timbre, rich in groove and literally made of wood. 'Copal', the first of two advance EPs, captures the essence of Oliver's approach, teasing the release with its floor-focussed shaker of a title-track and the handpan-driven epic that is 'Cryptozoology'.

N.OY. is back with another hypnotic and sinister remix. Bravo!

For his first solo EP, Tushen Raï designed a record in the form of a colorful patchwork of sounds, a meticulous collage of samples, surrounding noises and synthesizers. Here, Maori percussion dug on field recording discs from the late 60s and 70s meet Indonesian chants recorded on phones and posted anonymously online. A nostalgic yet deeply contemporary testimony to an imagination weakened resulting from the cultural globalization. 

With "Drums Circles", Tushen Raï wants to reconnect with the adventure novels, from Jules Vernes to Barjavel, which nourished his childhood. Thought out as an ode to the diversity of our cultures, our practices and our beliefs, "Drums Circles" is a cry in favor of open-mindedness and curiosity. It is an invitation to discovery rather than to conquest. 

A humble invitation to embark on a journey and to collective trance. 

With creating Hard Fist, Tushen Raï has found a way to bring together his two passions: collecting records and travelling. From Turkish psychedelism to Romanian cold wave or tribal african techno, his undeniable dancing sets are fed with powerful soul voices, weirdo beats and unknown instruments.

GREG WILSON @ LIVE FROM THE STAR & GARTER PUB - MANCHESTER 18.09.21

Gouranga - Be happy! - Explore our new website here: https://gourangamusic.com

Recorded last September as part of Manchester’s Repercussion Festival, which was held at Depot Mayfield in conjunction with The Warehouse Project, this was a special appearance in a unique setting – upstairs at the Star & Garter pub, which borders the site, playing to a capacity audience of just 80 people! The room was decked out for the event with a high-end audio install courtesy of Manchester’s Mastersounds - the one-off combination of small room and big system a rare treat for all those able to squeeze themselves in and certainly one of the highlights of 2021 for me. A fabled Manchester Indie venue in more recent times, The Star & Garter’s history goes back over 200 years, when it was originally constructed in 1803 approximately 100 yards away, before being moved, brick by brick, to its current position in 1849 to allow work on what would later become Piccadilly Railway Station.

GREG WILSON - Live From The Star & Garter - Manchester Sept 2021

Bringing us back to the 80s, this nostalgic yet uplifting edit by Juvë features global pop hit Shout.

English New Wave band Tears For Fears scaled all sorts of charts with this track, which has been remixed often.

Juvë adds a more acid bassline and a driving beat, exploring darker realms with this great remix, which can bring a unique dimension to any set.

Donna Summer - I Feel Love (Dor Danino Edit)

Growing up in London meant Rockin Moroccin was always surrounded by music. He soon started working at the drum & bass record store Lucky Spin while playing house parties and showcasing his early love of 80's electro. 

Over the last 15 years in the game, he's played all over Europe and made a big mark on Ibiza playing at HEART as well as Amnesia's Vagabundos night. His music is aimed at the dance floor and draws on new disco, melodic, tribal and percussive styles.

This new single is defined by its superb vocal, a classic house music top line that takes on an all-new soul perspective here. It is a silky smooth affair with an almost choral edge. The drums are warm and the percussion organic and bubbly, with sombre piano chords draped over the groove to help make this one a truly tender tune.

Rockin Moroccin will have dance floors with their hands in the air and tears in their eyes when he drops this one.

You Got The Love

Tour de Infinite
Martín Cozar - Call Me (When You Are Sober) [Tour De Infinite]
The Electronic music world eagerly awaits the highly anticipated EP, 'Call Me (When You Are Sober)' by the talented artist and DJ, Martín Cozar. This exceptional release, featuring two mesmerizing original tracks and a captivating remix by label owner Rigopolar, is set to make its release on August 30th on Tour De Infinite.

Martín Cozar's signature style takes flight in the opener 'Ground Control', offering listeners a hypnotic journey through space and sound. With its infectious beats and euphoric melodies, "Ground Control" is a testament to Cozar's mastery in creating immersive musical experiences.

The title track follows combining evocative vocal samples over a marching electro disco infused groove of pulsating synths and ethereal top lines.

Rigopolar, the visionary label owner, puts its creative prowess on display in this electrifying remix. Maintaining the essence of the original track, Rigopolar infuses it with a fresh perspective, adding dynamic elements that elevate the EP to a new heights.

Sending you something special for the weekend from Disco Freaks Recordings, a partnership between Chris Davies (Disco Freaks/Acid Jazz Records/ Defected Records) and Swedish singer Julia Axnér. Here they present their brand of 70’s inspired disco grooves with a distinctive modern touch.

New release ‘Shout From The Rooftop' sees AXNÉR collaborate with two members of Nile Rodgers & Chic original outfit - drummer Ralph Rolle and singer Audrey Martells.

AXNER's latest cut 'Shout From The Rooftop' is as glossy and golden as disco gets! It's soaring vocal and funky basslines benefit from some high-grade remix treatments via a starry host of talent.

New York City music royalty and original Studio 54 DJ John Morales hands in both a ‘M+M Club’ and a ‘Main mix’, plus an atmospheric ‘Instrumental’ for those who prefer to leave the vocals on the side. Morales add layers of lovely keys and increases the goosebump factor with soaring chords and a funk fuelled guitar addition. The resulting versions are brimming with glorious instrumentation and nonstop grooves.

AXNER - Shout From The Rooftop (John Morales M+M Main Mix)

Ralph Lawson and his 2020 Vision Recordings have created a vibrant trail of releases, making it one of the most loved and respected imprints in the industry. Here the landmark label continues its quest to present quality leftfield electronica to the dance world with LA based band ASHRR, who mark their debut on 20/20 in fine style, recruiting original dub pioneer Scientist into the studio to create a series of Live Dubs of ‘Fizzy’.

ASHRR was born in 2018 amidst the vibrant musical landscape of Los Angeles and is made up of Ethan Allen, Josh Charles, Steven Davis. Masterfully combining vocal harmonies that illuminate the euphoria of those hazy 70s grooves. Space disco, post-punk, electronica with touches of alternative soul. Think Roxy Music jamming with ESG on a warm sunny Sunday in Central Park, and you’ve got the vibe.

Hopeton Brown aka Scientist has been at the forefront of the dub reggae scene since being an integral engineer at the legendary Tubby’s Studio owned by King Tubby in Kingston, Jamaica way back in the ‘70s. Scientist went on to produce countless reggae hits at the equally renowned Channel One for artists including Johnny Clarke. Linval Thompson and Barrington Levy.

Two versions of the ‘Scientist Fizzy Dub’ grace the record with edits courtesy of Ralph Lawson and ASHRR themselves. On the flip, Felix Dickinson returns on disco dub duties with a previously unreleased extended version of ‘Fizzy’ following the release of the original remix on Crazy P Curate Vol. One that caused a whole heap of damage at festivals like Love International last summer.

The extended version is an epic 10-minute disco excursion that conjures up visions of ESG live at Paradise Garage. ASHRR also offer up a brand-new creation made for the dance floor and DJs in the form of their 'ASHRR Soundsystem Mix’ which serves as an exclusive treat on the digital package.

Beyond The Struttosphere is a sonic collaboration between two London-based DJs combining their considerable musical production experience with an insatiable passion for cosmic chugging dark disco.

The cosmonauts embark on their most ambitious journey yet with the release of ‘Odyssey-10’ on Emerald & Doreen records. True to its name, the lead track evokes an epic space voyage propelled by driving arpeggiators, chunky layered percussion, high-octane guitar hits and the signature BTS chug bassline. 

The tune progresses into a tectonic breakdown heightened by
spacey Juno chords before launching into a dynamite crescendo that burns contrails through the atmosphere. 

Remixes are provided by two bastions of the scene: Mexican dark wave star
Vongold introduces lustful celestial vocals into the mix, dialling down the tempo, and repurposing the track into a post-punk acid chugger that takes no prisoners. French dark disco connoisseur Badknife applies his masterful touch with a second remix, cranking up the throb and deploying interstellar synth arrangements that will have you reaching for your seatbelt.

The duo venture into uncharted territory with ‘Satellite Cities’, a collaboration with cosmic queen Miss Zagato. Undoubtedly their funkiest production to date, this galactic chugger is a hypnotic blend of funky guitar plucks, electrifying stabs and groovy riffs, underpinned by Miss Zagato’s intoxicating lyrics that transport you to the moon in a hypersonic X-15. Building in momentum and complexity, the track climaxes with a mesmerising vocal chorus, elevated by cosmic synth melodies and a resonating mid-range bass that will echo for aeons to come. 

The original is backed by a sublime remix from Spanish electronic virtuoso, Ivan Fabra, whose take re-imagines the track as a pulsating Balearic dancefloor anthem loaded with powerful drums and ethereal pads that melt into the sunset.

The EP concludes with ‘Storming Heaven’, a sonically charged acid trip that adventures through the cosmos, guided by a weighty chugging bass, a psychedelic 303 line, tripped out guitar chords and an array of cosmic FX. The tune traverses two mystical breakdowns before ascending into stratospheric planes with a euphoric synth sequence and a staggering guitar solo courtesy of long-time BTS collaborator Stannard Procedure. Strap in!

@musumeci

If you’ve recently been feeling like there is something in the air, your gut feeling is absolutely right. The Weather Report vol. 1 presented by Musumeci is already here to electrify your body. Released under the umbrella of Engrave Ltd music, new EP series features 4 collaboration tracks created by Musumeci himself and his much talented pals Phunkadelica, Alican, Ayala and Enzo Elia.

The Weather Report vol. 1 opens with “This Track”. A true climate changing collab with Phunkadelica, in which Jackin’ House beats and syncopated synth baseline provide a background for some Basement Jaxx stabs reminiscence, along with a classic rave chords' progression. A sexy vocal delivered by Ready in Led is a cherry on top, inviting to dance along. You just can’t say no to that!

The next atmospheric phenomenon in the report is “I’ll Be There”. The track is a blend of musical visions of Musumeci and Alican that resulted in something new and exciting for both of them. A bold mix of Acid bass line, housy groove and bouncing chords makes a solid ground for Nick Maurer's vocals - dark and deep speech alternating to a delicious soulful hook.

Musumeci just keeps on going, as “Don’t Stop” featuring Ayala is yet another banging position on the list. It represents Afro & Disco influences of both artists and has an unexpected punk edge and attitude. Straight beats, funky bass line, steady arpeggios, brass sections and rebel vocal samples create a sophisticated folk atmosphere hard to resist.

Last, but not least, “The Super Heavy Rundfunk” by Musumeci & Enzo Elia. An exploration of glorious “French touch”, which resulted in a monster club tune full of pure rave energy. Combining funk, electro and keyboards improvisations with uplifting screams and shouts vocal samples, the duo is guaranteed to have control over the dance floor and take the audience for a 6-minute-long ride full of madness.

Brace yourselves as The Weather Report series marks the start of a new era for Engrave Ltd. The beginning of the new decade of music is here. Stay Tuned!

badabing diskos welcome Oslo-based but Bogota-born Casablanca 303 for a pair of irresistible
house gems.
Casablanca 303 operates in his own deep house world where influences from jazz, world, kosmiche and disco all colour his grooves.

This new outing on the influential Scandi label badabing diskos is sure to take him to new heights once more.

He opens up with the adventurous 'Lucid Dreams', a full flavour house cut lit up with expressive synth
lines that bring rays of cosmic energy. A gurgling bassline down low never quits and makes this one a
characterful track full of warmth and drama. The fantastic 'Estereograma' is an equally epic cosmic trip
layered up with colourful synths and driving drums. Acid lines and big chords bring extra detail as the
journeying groove never lets up and gets ever more electric.

Casablanca 303 once again shows his class with these two sublime tracks on badabing diskos.

Georges - On Board [The Disco Express]

Milano-based producer Eluard graces Slow Motion Records once again with his debut album ‘Dirty Hall’. A release filled with his distinctively nostalgic tone, blending West Coast synth funk and Italo Disco with appropriate, seamless grit.

‘Dirty Hall’ opens with ‘Die Erste Musik’,  a chiming track with a wide, captivating vocal sampler riff that delicately dances off fizzing percussion. Creamy, glistening chords sit beautifully within this arrangement effortlessly complementing the bassline. This approach is taken a step further in the following ‘Carlo E Daria’, with an instantly attention-grabbing swirling synth motif.

‘Dirty Hall’ shows the breadth of Eluard's innate talent for harnessing the best out of the analogue machine, creating a rich sonic palette that never fails to warm the ears. The thundering lows of ‘Comic Bad’ are met with a mind-bending augmented synth line and a beautifully enigmatic vocal riff.

Eluard’s sound design throughout this LP masterfully pushes the retro into the present realm, retaining the characterful intrigue of the instruments recorded. Intelligently placed harmonies in ‘Dancers Are Thin And Pretty’ and ‘Funny Jasmine’ help to raise the instrumental sequences, allowing the listener to be transported to a more reflective, existential space.

The slick flare of elegant floor filler ‘Phonemes’ solidifies Eluard as a visionary within the Italian Dance Wave Movement, layering distinguished instrumentals with perfectly placed melodics.

‘Dirty Hall’ eloquently concludes with the sophisticated sleaze of ‘In The Next Room’. A masterful nod to the golden era of the vocoder with a stomping, percussive groove and a cleansing chordal sequence. ‘Dirty Hall’ is an LP charged with a mind-bending evocation instilling Eluard as a forward-thinking force within the sonic sphere.

From Barcelona, Fernanda Arrau is back, presenting her latest EP 'Sexy Dance.' The talented Chilean DJ and producer made her debut on the label with "Calypso" in 'Muy Divas Vol 1', and now she immerses us in a world of shimmering sounds and hypnotic rhythms.

The EP, consisting of three cuts: two of them original versions and a masterful edit by Bawrut.

The EP kicks off with "Sexy Dance," a track that's fresh, fun, and simultaneously seductive. With a playful bassline, echoing vocals, an enjoyable cowbell, and a solid drumbeat, this 6-and-a-half-minute song leads listeners into a state of hypnotic dancing.

Moving on, we encounter "Simple," a track that dazzles with its depth and sparkle. The combination of the drums and the enveloping bass keeps your feet grounded, while the pure pads guide listeners on a delicate and enchanting journey.

The perfect conclusion to the EP comes from the hands of the renowned producer Bawrut, who delivers an enigmatic edit of "Jenny Lind." This hypnotic cut captivates you from the very beginning with its magnetic bassline and precise drumbeat that builds an irresistible atmosphere.
The initial sounds repeat like a mantra throughout the track, while other elements join in a cyclical voyage.

"Fernanda Arrau's Sexy Dance" will be available starting from November 3rd, 2023 on streaming platforms and digital stores.

"Walking around and seeing turtles, flamingos, and just enjoying the tropical climate of Mexico...there's something special about that because I'm from Norway and we just had snow two weeks ago.

This is a mix of my own material, most of the songs are rearranged or edited a little bit to work better in a live set context. I usually select some old songs, some new ones, and some unreleased material, then try different things in the live mix. I don't usually share my live sets because they don't feel as exciting to me after the fact, though they do feel really great when playing live."

The hard-hitting legend Nick Warren took over control of The Rabbit Hole's 'Funkingham Palace' at 2am on Friday night....

@djnickwarren
http://www.djnickwarren.com/

Resident Advisor:
"You can tell when Nick Warren's on the decks. The music emanating from the DJ booth is that perfect club mix of driving percussion and soaring musicality, bursting out of the speakers, soaking everyone in melody, drenching them in sound. Warren's impressive career has seen him release the very first “Back to Mine”, a staggering eight albums for “Global Underground”, and one for “Renaissance”. He is also in control of A&R for record label Hope Recordings, as well as being a member of the highly acclaimed duo Way Out West. Starting as tour DJ with Massive Attack, moving onto a residency at super club Cream and playing at every self-respecting club on the planet, has led him to this natural position as one of the world's most respected DJs.

All this history has been eclipsed by Nick’s present: Nick continues to play out every weekend on every continent, whilst also maintaining Hope Recording's high quality output that they and Warren himself have become synonymous with; his DJ career spans two decades and is driven by a continual desire for change. His sound is forged by an enduring relationship with cutting edge producers all over the globe, in many cases long before they become established. This is no better represented than in the continuing bi-monthly Radio show 'Soundgarden' on Friskyradio which attracts over 150000 unique tune-ins to each airing or his mixes for Digweed’s 'Transitions'.

In 2013 Hope Recordings released three releases under Warren's name and also a landmark 20th anniversary edition of the Renaissance masters series album, which Nick was honourably asked to compile. These diverse outputs from Warren on Hope Recordings have included a remix of global pop sensation Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness' and also two breathtaking original productions 'Devil's Elbow' and 'La Fabrica', both demonstrating Warren's diverse abilities in assuming a classic timeless sound, whilst still injecting a glossy and modern slant into his powerful productions. 'Devil's Elbow' was also supported with two highly reputable remixes from Max Cooper and jozif. Max Cooper's remix was supported by an unique conceptual video and received great critical acclaim reaching No.1 in Beatport's Electronica chart.

2014 saw the release of Nick's crowd funded "The Soundgarden" album which was supported via a very successful Pledge Music campaign, giving his fans the chance to directly engage and become part of the album in many different ways. In the later part of 2014 Nick released the single "Alta / Golden Cap" through Alex Niggermans Soulfooled Recordings, the release showcasing his innate ear for melody and impeccable production skills. Nick's most recent release was his collaboration with Guy Mantzur, entitled "Sad Robot" which came out on Bedrock Recordings. The track has received support and airplay from BBC6 music. It also reached no.4 in the Beatport Techno chart. In addition to all this of this, Nick has also kept up his extensive touring schedule and has many more exciting things in the pipeline for the rest of 2015. Nick Warren is still at the top of his game and showcasing why he is still standing as a giant within electronic music..."

Sol Selectas run by Sabo welcomes back Unders who has been a prominent feature in the label's back catalogue. Unders has also contributed to other imprints including Kindisch, Under Your Skin, Sincopat and Katermukke along with his own Happy Camper Records.

Unders, is a producer from Holland, who had a break through song called “Syria” on Sol Selectas three years ago, and is a huge fan of the band Morphine, so he created this dance floor remix of their track “The Other Side” for his DJ sets.

With the intention of keeping the original Morphine legacy alive along with the spirit of deceased lead singer Mark Sandman, the original members of the band have agreed to officially release this incredible remix, as every time Unders played it the reaction was incredible.

Already rated by Mixmag as one of the hottest tracks of the Summer in 2017, even though it had never even been released, this special remix of an American classic will surely take its listeners on a journey to “The Other Side”, where “life is better”.

Morphine was an Alternative Rock group from Boston which formed in 1989. Morphine’s unique sound combined blues and jazz elements with more traditional rock arrangements, and the lead singer Mark Sandman had a distinctively deep and laid-back tone. After five successful albums in the early '90s they disbanded after Mark Sandman tragically died on stage of a heart attack. The founding members reformed into the band Vapors of Morphine, maintaining much of the original style and sound.

With a slow, smouldering sound consisting of saxophones, soft percussion, two finger bass and beatnik-style poetry lyrics, the bands bluesy sound has been captured fully in Unders stunning rework.

The lyrics of the track talk of “crossing over to the other side” and this version pays homage to the original and celebrates the living achievements of Mark Sandman before he sadly passed away.

Created by Helia Jamali, the Artwork was influenced by the song lyrics, and is intended to be a visually stimulating journey to an unknown but familiar place “with the preacher's wife”.

Tiempo De Maldad - Soufi (Freudenthal Remix)

In September 2018 Gouranga threw a fundraiser for #DanceLikeMandela and oceanic charity Project Ø in Public Arts in New York City. The evening was a celebration of African Music and a well heeled guestlist of fashion week revellers danced to purely tribal beats from 10pm -4am. We asked one of favourite producers @jamesrod if he would put together his own African mixtape to raise awareness for the Project Ø and #DanceLikeMandela...and here it is!

www.weareprojectzero.org/about
www.represent.global/
www.publichotels.com/

Project Ø is a new generation focused on fixing the world's largest and most solvable problem - the ocean. We're a global movement supported by renowned scientists, business leaders, celebrities, campaigners, ocean experts and individuals, who are all working together to restore and protect the ocean.

And the ocean needs it. Less than 3% is protected, countless fisheries are overexploited – the majority of top predators are gone - huge amounts of plastic and waste are pouring into the ocean unchecked, half the coral reefs are gone, and dead zones cover huge swaths of ocean unable to support life.

Italy's Samosa Records come correct once again with another clutch of tasty edits of 'Funk Purpose Vol. 1', and this purple-flavoured rework from Shit Hot Soundsystem is particularly useful. The English producer is a fast-rising name on the edits scene, and with cuts like this you can easily see why.

Brooklyn based Edit guru, top DJ, multi-instrumentalist, and label-owner @jkriv has recorded something really special....

"2018 was a turning point in my 20-year love affair with Brasilian music, starting with the release of my reworks compilation Férias ’77 on Razor-N-Tape, and culminating in my recent trip to the Mareh Festival. Aside from being one of the gig highlights of my career - on a boat full of joyful dancers - the whole experience really deepened my feeling for the unique culture and music of Brasil. I came home buzzing, and ran this mix off in one shot without much planning, using some vinyl, some digital, some edits, and some originals. I hope that joy comes through in the music!"

GOURANGA MIXTAPE: JKriv’s Depois de Mareh

On the Saturday night of Glastonbury 2019 something special happened. After 10 years of trying, the stars were aligned and one of the biggest comets of all was inbound at supersonic speed towards The Rabbit Hole.

Those fortunate enough to have crawled through the tunnel into Funkingham Palace that night witnessed something truly unique. Carl Cox played a mesmeric selection of tunes that showed why he is THE superstar of both yesterday and today.

Carl Cox needs no introduction.

Having smashed it on Friday at Arcadia (b2b with Jamie Jones) and rocked out the Glade stage on Saturday afternoon the big man arrived as THE secret guest to top all secret guests.

This unannounced secret set at The Rabbit Hole's Funkingham Palace will go down in Pilton folklore as one of those magical Glastonbury moments....

Please treat your ears to this recording and let the fun echo even wider than the hallowed sun drench fields of Glastonbury 2019.

Oh Yes Oh Yes!

Sol Selectas is a label famed for its unique sound fusing ambient textures with melodic grooves and rhythmic melodies inspired by ancient folk law.

The label's new release welcomes Turkish artist Ali Kuru who recently featured as part of Sol Selectas recent Summer Sol III compilation, but now returns for a solo EP also featuring a stunning remix from the iconic Satori.

Ali Kuru has also featured on labels such as Exotic Refreshment, Underyourskin, 8Bit and Leng Records, building up a global reputation for being an ambassador of the Turkish electronic music scene, whose innovative approach has helped inspire the country's growing club culture.

Satori needs little introduction within the world of low slung melodic music as within the genre he has helped define the style that so many others draw influence from. Known especially for his remix skills, he has reworked people ranging from Acid Pauli to Damian Lazarus, and this is another fine example of his exceptional talents.

"Mazlum" opens the EP with an expertly produced sound combining Middle Eastern instruments with synthetic sounds and a skilful blend that’s neither too raw or overly polished. Keeping the earthy sound of the instruments, the sequenced percussion adds DJ friendly rhythms perfect for a packed nightclub dance floor.

Satori provides the second track with his remix of “Mazlum” which is set to rival the success of his previous Sol Selectas remix which is widely considered a classic of the genre. Focusing on the Middle Eastern elements, he reinforces the kick drum making for an imaginative rework that paints sonic pictures of Arabic landscapes.

Third of the tracks is “Donuk” with a chugging groove, vibrant percussion and long cello notes amidst an array of bending synths and vocal textures. An epic journey of spiritual transformation, this exquisite track takes on many forms with its enlightening aura of discovery.

The artwork by Helia Jamali takes us deep into a mystical valley of cosmic delights, eclipsed totalities, and outer-dimensional dualities, where your primal emotions rise up to the surface, and guide your path.

Geoff Kirkwood is a man with many faces. Techno producer 'Man Power' .... label boss of Me Me Me....touring DJ....soundscape composer 'Bed Wetter' and now Artist in Residence at the Sage Gateshead. https://sagegateshead.com/artist-development/artists-in-residence/ 

To celebrate this new accolade we asked Mr Kirkwood to record something different for our mixtape series...

"i've spent most of my time on my own during Lockdown.
This has pushed me into some deep contemplation at times, and that contemplation has most frequently been about my relationship with music.

If you consider that music is both the way i make my living and also the main way that I project myself to the world, then you'll probably agree it's a pretty natural thing for me to think about.

What I discovered was that I'd become unhappy with a lot of the things I was choosing to do

This revelation made me decide to reapproach what I do with my time, what I give value to, and what I choose to tell people is significant.

The most immediate change is that I now find myself working as an artist in Residence for Sage Gateshead, which is one of the most important Concert Venues in the UK.

Over the next 10 months the Sage is supporting me in making a performance piece which will push me as a music maker and conceptual artist, and which will allow me to explore another thing that I find very important, that is to say the notion of my regional identity and the things that I can do that use my skills and experience to make the region a better place to live.

Further to that I've found the time to work on other less immediately obvious projects which resonate more deeply with me.

I've finished an album with the Vocalist and songwriter "Marske" which will be out before the end of the year, and (despite some crazy curveballs) I'm making headway on my multi-vocalist album project as "Antisocial Alliance".

I'm also committed to launching a not-for-profit organisation very soon which will use the music I've dedicated my life to in a way that helps underprivileged or marginalised people in the North East of England.
The nicest thing I've found about all of this is that it's got me back to simply engaging with music because it pleases me, not because I need to pay the bills or because I feel like I need to use it to climb up some kind of imaginary pecking order.

All of these changes have meant that I get to record mixes like this one. 
Free from anyone else's opinion and for no other reason the fact that I wanted to record it.

I'm not saying it's the end for me as a DJ or House Music producer, as that's something I think is in my bones.
I think I am saying that I'll be doing it a lot more selectively now and that if you ever catch me doing either in future then you can be sure that the only reason I'm doing it is because I completely believe in what it is I'm doing at the time.

It was a great job, but I really needed to go back to doing it for the love instead"

What is Rebetiko [Ρεμπέτικο]?
Rebetiko grew out of the music of the displaced Greeks of Asia Minor, who thrived in the poor and struggling neighbourhoods of Piraeus, a port city in the region of Attica (now Athens). This new music genre was born as a form of artistic expression for the Lumpenproletariat of post-war Greece in the first part of the 20th Century.

The roots of the genre originate in Asia Minor (with Smyrna as the main focus point). In his book “The History of Rebetiko”, Nikos Sideris states: “Rebetiko was born in Asia Minor. Rebetiko with bouzouki was born in Piraeus”.

Stevie R is a London-based producer at the top of his game...
He continues to push these creative boundaries through his output, collaborations and his labels, Inside Out Records, of which he is the founder, and on Chapter 24, for whom he does A&R. The latter imprint released his last mini album, a two-part release that features collaborations with Parisinos and Anna Maria X, both of which further explore the signature Rebetronica sound that he's coined.
