@disfunctional_disco is coming in hot straight out of Copenhagen with an absolutely juicy mix full of grooves, with a whole bunch of cracking upcoming promos fresh for your ears.

********************
Good morning Lars 😊

➢ Tell us what song puts you in a good mood when you wake up in the morning?

 That varies immensely, its rarely anything electronic though, although i have been making a playlist lately, with old classics (in my opinion) with vocals, like Stimming - Close the curtains, Dapayk & Padberg - Island feat. Caro (Nôze Remix)… these really sets my mood at top level :). Or else its more traditional songs and can be anything from Norah Jones to radiohead and everything in between.

➢ Disfunctional Disco is a great name. Tell us the history about how it became your artist alias?

Uffff, that is an old story, to cut it short, we were sitting at an afterparty…..MANY MANY years ago, and in our godlike knowledge mode(as you know you achieve at afterparties), we were trying to redefine the term house music, and my best bid was, thats it basically started out as “Disfunctional Disco”, and it stuck ever since.

➢ You co-manage the label @sofa-beats-1 . Give one piece of advice you have learnt running Sofa Beats to someone who is looking to start their own music label?

DONT DO IT…hahaha, no im kidding. Be sure its not just a vanity project, you have to bring true value to yourself and the artist involved, and by that i mean, get involved, read about rights, royalities and all the boring legal stuff, be professional from the start, that is i think the most important thing…be professional from the start.

➢ Since the pandemic it has been difficult time for the music scene, how has it changed in Denmark and what do you think will be different when things return to a certain “normality”?

Its such a difficult question to answer, in copenhagen the clubs have suffered hard, and have been forced to look into fundraising etc. to survive, thats the biggest impact, that our clubscene is hit really hard, and to be honest its hard to say if they will survive at all. When society opens up(its happening now actually), im not sure we’ll see big changes to be honest, people will take the necessary precautions to get to a party, slowly the restrictions will fade to normal, Pirate parties will reign supreme in the beginning, but i think in a year or so, we will be back to were we were just before the pandemic.

➢ Lastly, regarding this mix you have done for us, can you tell us a little bit of your thought process behind choosing the tracks you chose?

Im spoiled in the promo department, so i always try to put in something i know few people have heard yet, i usually start to collect tracks 2-3 weeks prior to a podcast or mix, then i play around with the material, checking keys and transitions, then i usually get angry cause i think its sound like shit:)….then ill get a few more tracks, maybe even a classic tune, play around some more, until i dance around like a mania…then i know its there :)

A Voyage of Spirits by Naïmaste ⚗ VOS 085

Psst.. Es gibt wieder eine neue Dreiradfahrt!
Wir freuen uns riesig euch endlich diese Episode vorzustellen und @manucho_arevalo  auf unserem klapprigen Gefährt willkommen zu heißen! Und als hätte er sich nie auf etwas anderem fortbewegt, meistert er jegliche Kurve und Strecke mit bravur! 
Das Ganze war schon länger in Planung, jedoch musste es leider durch verschiedene Umstände immer wieder nach hinten verschoben werden. Umso schöner, dass es heute soweit ist! Denn Manucho ist unter Anderem ein großer Beweggrund gewesen, dass wir überhaupt angefangen haben in die langsameren Sphären der elektronischen Musik einzutauchen. Schon so viele Stunden haben wir mit seinem wunderbaren Output verbracht - dazu getanzt, gelacht und gemütlich angestoßen! Aber wer seine Musik kennt, weiß bestimmt wovon wir reden. 
Manucho, vielen Dank für diese schöne Rundfahrt! Es ist uns eine Freude, dich in unserer Dreiradfahrt-Reihe begrüßen zu dürfen <3

Aber jetzt genug mit den Worten, denn die Musik sagt deutlich mehr aus als alles, was wir in diese Textzeile einfügen könnten.
Also - Ganz viel Vergnügen mit diesem wunderbaren Mix ihr Lieben!

Mit besten Grüßen
Die Dreiradfahrt


English:

Psst, there’s a new Dreiratfahrt episode!
Today we are super happy and excited to welcome none other than Manucho as a part of our series. It was planned for a long time, and now it finally is here and we couldn’t be more excited!
He is one of the main reasons we started looking more and more into the slow spheres of electronic music after all!
So many hours went by listening to your Sets, dancing, laughing and vibing to them! To have you on board Manucho really means a lot to us <3 And we are sending the biggest hugs over to you.

But now enough with the talking, as we could never fit the same message and power in this little text section as the music expresses itself!

So sit back and enjoy this wonderful Episode!

with love
Die Dreiradfahrt

Warmer days are coming, the soul is blooming,
Don’t hurry, don’t worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.
Let the music of the ground take you to the places. 
We happily present INKE with her Rituals Tape, recorded at Berlin's only Downtempo venue ''Beate Uwe''.
We hope you enjoy this story as much as we do ☀️

C๏sʍ๏cast ★ 242 | Loux | Dark Matter Resonance

The question is - do we truly evolve, or are we simply circling within patterns of material striving and noble pursuits we’ve come to mistake for meaning..

The Art Of Downtempo | 019 | Drift

The breath becomes a sacred sound,
A frequency on holy ground.
It rises from the inner place,
A song of time, a hymn of space.
Each word a ripple, soft and deep,
A promise that the soul will keep.

A resonance of truth and light,
That chases shadows from the night.
It carries power, gentle, vast,
A bridge from future to the past.
A healing touch, a prayer unbound,
In the vibration of the sound.

So speak with purpose, clear and true,
The universe is listening to you.
For every phrase you bring to air,
Is a whispered answer to a prayer.

Infos ==> http://716lavie.com/716-exclusive-mix-dj-nomad-cameroon-in-paris-modern-soul-disco-from-the-golden-age-of-the-diaspora/

Mix made for the "Pacifique Force" Party organized by 716lavie.com  in Paris in april 2016 : http://716lavie.com/soiree-716-le-samedi-23-avril-au-9b-paris-75020/

Dj Nomad (@vulkandance & @africaine-808) played at the first 716lavie Party ever (after 9 years of existence), alongside with the French record seller and dj, Boulo Disjoké (@boulo), and this is something big. For the occasion, both have recorded a special mix. Boulo Disjoké made a mix dedicated to the Afro-Caribbean music that was played in the African bars and restaurants in Paris in the 70/80’s.

Dj Nomad’s selection is like a compilation about the Cameroonian Diaspora in Paris in the 80’s :  100% Cameroonian Modern Soul + Disco, Parisian production. We can say that the African scene from that time in Paname (nickname from Paris) has been well represented here. Dig it here and come saturday in Paris at le 9B to hear this guy live, free entrance, 8PM-2AM, the rest is history.

To illustrate this mix, we wanted to use a photo from that era. It was hard to find some in google, until I discovered the amazing work of Bill Akwa Betoté who covered all this scene during twenty years. His work is a unique and exceptional testimony about this scene that has been a cornerstone in the musical and cultural life in Paris. What was happening in Paris at the time was having an influence abroad, some foreigners had their first contact with African music in Paris. Have a look at these photos from Bill they speak by themselves and don’t tell me you don’t want to just travel in time and dance with those people right now. I choose a photo from Princess Erika because the shot is off the hook and she is originally from Cameroon.
