Kai Alcé delivers a soulful house music mix for Best's Friends Music incl. his remix for Noah Slee's hit "RADAR".

Who is Kai Alcé?

There is a certain type of artist that transcends generational and artistic boundaries, that channels their experiences while simultaneously fostering an environment for others to thrive. Kai Alcé is a prime example. Born in New York, some of his earliest musical influences included his mother’s penchant for soca music and the distinct Caribbean rhythms of his culture. An appreciation of Jazz would be further guided by his father’s expanding audiophile home system. Moving to Detroit in 1980, the start of the decade where Techno would take formation, put him at the center of music history as the Belleville Three and their contemporaries molded house into the new sound, while simultaneously working at the now famed nightclub “The Music Institute”

Relocating to Atlanta, GA for school he took it upon himself to bring more of the authentic House and Techno flavor to his new home, playing at numerous clubs and bars in the metro area. Eventually this led to DEEP, his aptly-named, game changing decade long Saturday night residency at local club MJQ, where would bring guests such as King Britt, Steve “Silk” Hurley, Peven Everett, Kerri Chandler, Phil Asher and Joe Claussell.

It is during the 2000s that Kai really sets his stride. 2002 saw the release of his first production, ‘The Kaizer EP’, on Brett Dancer’s seminal deep house label Track Mode. After a few releases on other labels such as Moodymann’s Mahogani Music, Deep Explorer & Real Soon. A few years later he would co-found the Labor Day weekend outdoor event House In The Park with DJ Ramon Rawsoul which now has over 15,000 attendees with many traveling from around the world to partake in the revelries.

2008 would prove to be the defining year of Kai’s decade as it saw the creation of his label NDATL and the first edition of his annual Deep Detroit. NDATL stands for the cities that Kai has called home and have played a role in his musical development: New York, Detroit, ATLanta. Which is home to many of his own productions and A List producers such as Larry Heard, Mr. G, Theo Parrish & Mike Huckaby to name a few.

Never one to stay static he has recently curated the boutique Kai Alcé Eyewear line. “The Kaizer” never stops moving. A love of life, mixed with his flair for originality, willingness to experiment and devotion to the dancefloor has cemented his place as a pillar in American dance music history. Whatever comes next from Mr. Alcé, you can be assured that it will be classy, soulful, fulfilling and funky. Stay tuned because you never know what the man will have for you next!

Congrats Marcel, you are a DJ. Eventually I ll write an essay or a book or a documentary, I have so many thoughts and emotions surrounding that topic. However make sure to tune in via Universal Rhythm website and I ll upload the mix and playlist to SoundCloud after it’s been aired.

Marcel Vogel - Leaving This Planet / Universal Rythms Vol #2

Blur Records is proud to present the second album of South African DJ, Producer and Live Performer - Vicmari!
Since his debut album ‘Audiodidact’ dropped 2016, he has been in a state of subtle evolution and growth. His sound palette has grown and his musical curiosity has seen him arrive in a place that is not strictly rooted in House, Electronica, Afro nor Jazz but rather a combination of all these musical spaces in which he has quietly built a new collection of songs he is calling ‘Window Curtains’.

The album is a warm, introspective journey best enjoyed as the title suggests: sitting nice and cosy in a safe space while peering outside into the world beyond as the subtle groove, melody and harmony of Vicmari’s musical wonderings encourage you to let your mind drift away.

A culmination of a 3 year period of creativity and exploration in the dubbed-out soundscapes and warm harmonics that set the tone throughout this thoughtful album, his music has taken him beyond his hometown with collaborations with artists such as songstress Boskasie, Matthew Garton from Good Thinking Music where he recorded Congolese drummer Dieumerci Tshimanga, Nigerian guitarist Akinwale James and local bassist and producer Jerome Bezuidenhout. The album also features collabs with Angel D and Hörschwelle as well as 2 remixes from NY-based Brendon Moeller.

The emergence of a career as organic and natural as Vicmari’s is rare anywhere in the world, let alone KwaDabeka township in Durban, South Africa, where his relatively humble beginnings forged a sound that is not only unique but also true to his background, true to his story and true to where he is headed.

Stream 'Flying Cars' now: https://dualizm.fanlink.to/flyingcars

To announce his upcoming EP, the prolific producer from Berlin is back with a brand new single. Heavily built on nostalgia, ‘Flying Cars’ embodies nuances and expressions through instrumental hip-hop. Creating a pensive head space while also managing to be dream-like, the song is filled with atmospheric soundscapes that float like air and drizzle like rain which keep you engaged in the track's groove until your attention is drawn to the old school beats and samples that elevate the mood.

ADMIN GUEST MIX OCTOBER 2021 (NOODS RADIO)

Pretty much one year ago, I gave in to the urge to pull all my best Gospel records together and make a Gospel Tape to be published right before the holy night. I am not religious albeit spiritual. I am not much into Christmas jams, but I dig the Gospel. And I have my own personal story with Jesus that I might share one day but if you've read Paulo Coelo - The Fifth Mountain, there are certainly paralells. 
Nowadays I believe in the positive ideas of religion that can uplift the spirit. 

But what I am really interested in is Gospel Music. 

These records are like colours to me. Many people are used to experience the same colours over and over again. While there is so much more music to love and fall in love with. Use it as a gateway into other universes. I ve tried that with my twitch series earlier this year. Together we ve just listened through my record collection and we hardly listened to a song twice. I want to shout out Zoe, Jayne, Zuzi, Oria, Angel, Keta, Kelly, Frankie, Josh, Brian, Johnny and many others and Special thanks to Chris and Rob for introducing me to the platform and carrying me through the process. Despite the digital aspect it has been a wonderfully human experience on many levels. 

Thanks for listening and have beautiful holidays, no matter what faith you have or not have. I believe in life as the most precious entity that connects us all. 

All praise and love to my wife Kimberley

"Desolate Shore" - Live  at The BBC's Fast Show Jazz Club - Nicessss :-) (Contains Silliness)

So I wrote this song for the people who are on their grind, working every day to get closer and closer to their dreams, for the people who are going through something (& that's EVERYBODY). Very easily do we get discouraged by all the mishaps that come with life, but if you were able to see the next day, then you are capable of turning it all around! #GOODMORNING is some 'feel good' crank written by yours truly, featuring Odd Mojo (@oddmojo), produced by Dejuan Crooks (@dejuancrooks) & mixed & mastered by 5iftySeven Mixes (@brilan57)

If you mess w it, please spread the word & spread the love! & hashtag #GOODMORNING if you do!

GOOD MORNING- Single

GOOD MORNING (feat. Odd Mojo)

It's hard to overstate the impact this man and his label BBE have on our scene. Is it 25 years already? So many incredible moments that influenced generations of DJ's and music lovers. Pewrsonally I would have to cite the Strange Games and Funky Things series featuring legends DJ Spinna, Kenny Dope and Mr Thing. Jazzy Jeff's Hip Hop forever. Dimitri From Paris with several entries absolutly knocking the art of editing and remixing disco classics out of the park. Dilla's solo effort Welcome To Detroit (Thats just been re-released as a tasty 7" bundle). Kon and Amir's visionary Off Track series.... all of these have been game changing in their own rights but only make about 1% of the output of BBE. 
Obviously Pete has more dimensions to him than "just" A&Ring one of the most legendary labels there is but let's stick to the music and follow him on this week's journey as he kindly has contributed the latest addition to the series. Thank you and enjoy!
