Finnish genius Roberto Rodriguez (@robergz) might be one of the most underrated producers in the deeper end of house music. His consistently excellent output for the likes of Freerange Records, Compost Records, Plastic City and Poetry In Motion Records is always fresh, invigorating stuff which combines deep textures with grooves that are so expertly sculpted they're nigh-on impossible to sit still to. We're chuffed to have him contribute to our series at last, and to discover some of his absolute gems we missed in years gone by.
 
*How would you describe your sound?*
 
If I were to analyze my own sound I’d say it’s a culmination of all the musical influences I’ve gathered throughout my close to 47 years of existence. My music is always some sort of weird combination of techno, house, jungle, jazz, soul and disco influences. Most often my tracks end up in the Deep House sections in stores. In my tracks there’s always a certain bit of Scandinavian melancholy or bittersweet sadness. Even in the most uplifting tracks and remixes I’ve done over the years. :D. I’m a super positive and upbeat person so I don’t know where that bit comes from. Perhaps it’s the 10 months of yearly darkness here in the north which generates the melancholy. I’m not super into trends and I always aim for a timeless quality rather than a quick fix. Firstly I aim to please my own ears and produce music that makes me feel something. If the music moves me then there’s a high probability that others will be moved by it as well. 
 
*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* 
 
I listen to and get my inspiration from all music I hear. As much as I get inspired by the works of legends, i do get more inspired by new talent and new producers who break the rules and come up with something new and unique.
 
*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*
 
I was very pleased to be invited to the series and in taking this challenge of picking only my own productions for the mix. As emotional as it was to go through my tracks, It wasn't an easy task to narrow it down. In the end I decided to exclude all of my more disco Manolo stuff as well as all my other monikers and focus on my main RR output. The mix is sort of like Roberto Rodriguez in a nutshell. It features my house tracks that mean the most to me at this moment in time. Hope you’ll like the listening experience.

M70: Roberto Rodriguez

B1. Sonic Of Joy ft. Eve

[ instrumental intro, electric stratocaster guitar blues solo ]

knife
like a knife
in to the butter
melting my love to you

no warning signs

just  plain watter

salty  tears
[ bridge]
and you

how we could get to this   creepy point?
what happens to words " love you forever"?
your hair are shining with the sunset  behind
my heart is not broken,  

stone cold

no emotions
[ bridge]

no tears

you gave me a lot

[ bridge]
now is the time you leave

[ instrumental intermezzo, blues electric guitar reef]

our love   cross my expectations
storm of emotions couldn't last forever
all those happy moments
pictures on the wall
your smiles
[ bridge]
no comments
[ bridge]
now you jumped over the wall

love can heal both of us
but not together
love can be out

And what a love it was .

Mama Funk

Jimpster: The UK House craftsman shaping soundscapes with soul and subtlety

If you’ve ever lost yourself in the smooth, rolling rhythms of deep house, you’ve probably had Jimpster to thank without even knowing it.  Behind the decks, in the studio, or even just in the groove of his own life, Jimpster—aka Jamie Odell—is one of the quiet yet crucial architects of the genre, a producer who’s somehow managed to keep his sound fresh while paying homage to house music’s roots.  With releases stretching back to the early 90's, Jimpster’s sonic journey has evolved from the cut n paste, sample-heavy bedroom productions of his early releases to the deep house anthems he’s known for today.  He’s the artist who’s mastered the art of organic warmth, blending digital precision with analog textures in ways that sound both timeless and ahead of their time.  His music often draws from a deep well of influences: jazz, funk, soul, electro and even ambient textures—but it’s always tethered to the dancefloor.  He’s the kind of producer who can make a sub-bass rumble feel like a heartbeat while surrounding it with lush, atmospheric synths and intricate percussion that push his tracks into a hypnotic, almost meditative space.

Jimpster's discography is packed with both original tracks and remixes that make you move without even realising it: there’s the spaced-out, trippy disco allure of “English Rose”, the groove-heavy slo-mo swagger of “The Sun Comes Up” (which is basically the soundtrack to *that* sunset), and let’s not forget the timeless “Dangly Panther.”  Each track feels like a wave—a smooth ride that pulls you along effortlessly but leaves you wanting more.  His remix of Osunlade’s Momma’s Groove has become iconic but he has also offered his golden touch to artists as diverse as Seal, Bob Marley, Kerri Chandler, Josh Wink and Adam Port to name just a few.

But Jimpster’s influence doesn’t just stay in the studio.  As a DJ, his sets are like a carefully curated journey, blending stripped back disco, underground house and the more soulful end of techno into smooth, liquid transitions that captivate without ever feeling rushed.  Whether he’s playing an intimate, low-key club night or a larger festival stage, his mixes retain a sense of control—an ability to weave a narrative out of tempo, tone and texture, always keeping the dancefloor locked in.  From Panorama Bar (Berlin) to Cielo (NYC), Womb (Tokyo) to Fabric (London), Jimpster has pretty much span there and returned with the T shirt.

As co-founder and A&R of Freerange, Delusions Of Grandeur and most recently Cyphon Recordings, he’s helped nurture an entire generation of producers, sharing his deep understanding of groove and sound design with those who came after him.  Despite his three decades in the business and pivotal role in shaping the electronic music landscape, Jimpster remains relentlessly focused on who, or what, will come next, as excited as ever by discovering the freshest new talent and sounds to expose to the world.

Jimpster’s music is a reflection of his unrelenting pursuit of musical depth in club music.  A balance between nostalgic warmth and forward-focussed vision that continues to captivate listeners and dancers alike. For him, it’s not about creating music for the moment, but building sounds that resonate over time, long after the track has finished playing.
