Gerd Janson is the influential label boss, journalist, DJ and producer behind the Running Back imprint an doesn't need any introduction nowadays. With a fine ear for unearthing new artists and developing them on his label, Gerd has a very busy schedule and puts out a dizzying amount of music from ambient to disco, house to techno. As a DJ, he has no identifiable style but is a master of many and is someone who can play to just about any crowd and make them move. As if that wasn't enough, as one half of Tuff City Kids he kicks out the club-ready jams that keep kids dancing. 

Back on New Year’s Eve 2015, he played back-to-back with Irishman Krystal Klear, who is at the heart of the modern house scene in his hometown Manchester. His fresh take on a classic sound has seen him win plenty of favour with the youth of the day, as well as getting him signed to Kerri Chandler’s MadTech label. Only active for six years, he has already become a regular on the global circuit and now heads up his own Cold Tonic label as well as hosting an influential show on Rinse FM. With a great sense of humour that always permeates his music, former Hoya: Hoya resident Krystal Klear has a passion for a wide range of sounds. 

Our latest mix is taken from the five hour b2b the pair played that NYE. As such it really found them stretching their legs and playing across the board. From slow disco to playful r&b grooves, 80s synths to classic house, it is a truly playful set that is chock full of jams, all carefully mixed into one explosive and loved-up whole.

We came across ‘Gaoulé Mizik’ through our friend Vincent, who, through his platforms 22tracks and Radioradio, is deeply rooted in the world music scene. He showed us the record and said this would do really well with a bit of Detroit Swindle flavour sprinkled over it. When we listened to the original, we immediately felt what our own version would sound like. The original track features the drums and chants, and is a Gwo Ka song from Guadeloupe. Since the record was only distributed in small amounts and came from a private press, it has not reached a lot of people. Versions of this record are rare on Discogs and unfortunately change hands for large sums of money, keeping the record in obscurity. This rework is our attempt to add an electronic twist to the track and bring that classic island folk music towards today’s clubs.

Italomania, Bellona Lyon, March 2nd 2019

I promise you the sound in the club was pristine, this recording is NOT though, because it was recorded on an old potato, utilizing some sand, salt and a few needles. So if you can stand listening to this, please do, and if not skip to another mix. Lots of upcoming tracks by friends in this mix! You'll hear them later... in full frequency sound.
Had a super great time at this party in Sofia, very recommended... Watch out for young Mr. Dzhem and his future parties! I even played a lot of obscure italo at the end of my set, but the potato recorder was too tired by then...  

This was the party:

Skatebård at Ние, Sofia, Bulgaria, June 2019

Tune in for a sick back2back session between living legend and moustache boss soundcloud.com/david-vunk from Rotterdam and Norwegian’s finest underground artist soundcloud.com/skatebard! The mix was recorded earlier this year during the very first edition of ZeeZout presents Liberté Liberté, where these two ever-smiling legends sent us to 7th heaven. The two crate diggers guide us seemingly effortless through their eclectic musical universe and play their favourite records that turn every dancefloor into a beautiful chaos. A wide selection of catching disco, eccentric energy-loaded Italo, futuristic house and a small touch of cutting-edge techno filled with bursting rhythms and kicking snares pass by in this two-and-a-half-hour trip.

After presenting Detroit Swindle’s sophomore album High Life in 2018, we felt it was the right time to serve you up a tasty selection of remixes from all over the world and all over the sound palette. We’ve got some dub and boogie from Australia and the Netherlands, classic deephouse from Detroit, dark and dreamy deephouse from the UK and some high energy house from Germany. This set of remixes comes from 5 artists we hold in high regard and have made a serious impact on their part of the scene; some recently and some already a long time ago. 

We invited Dutch techno -plot twist alert!- legend Steve Rachmad to come up with a re-interpretation of ‘Yes, no, maybe (feat. Tom Misch)’. His Sterac Electronics remix actually has nothing to do with techno but is an uplifting modern boogie version of the already funky original. Glimmering electronics, some added harmonics and a tight 80’s groove is what this version is all about. 

The A2 is reserved for Cinthie, who took the high energy afro funk track ‘Call of the wild (feat. Jungle by Night)’ and turned it into a full on house frenzy with solo’s all around and a groove that just keeps on going and going. 

The A side is completed with a remix by Jura Soundsystem, who has impressed many of us with his balaeric influenced synth-boogie, and dub on his own label ‘Isle of Jura’. Here, he chose to remix ‘High life (feat. Lorenz Rhode)’ and has done an excellent job in re-imagining the track into a tamed down, dreamy dub.

On the flip, there’s Matt Karmil’s take on one of the album’s beatless tracks ‘Ketama gold’. He goes in deep with some dusty drums and an arrangement that keeps on building and building, keeping the chord sequence from the track’s outro as a main loop and adding subtle FX, toms and acid hits and a final delivery where electronic cowbells up the energy level by a notch or two. 

We finish off the compilation with a moody deephouse re-interpretation of ‘Ex machina’ by Detroit legend Gari Romalis. The twisted machine funk of the original is craftfully replaced by a dusty house loop, dreamy pads and smart usage of the original’s drum effects to build momentum. 

This remix package brings a lovely new chapter into the story of ‘High Life’ and we hope you’ll enjoy these reworks as much as we do.
Yours Sincerely, 

Maarten & Lars.

SlothBoogie Guestmix #222 - Tender Games

Born and raised in Amsterdam and with his roots in Japan, Masalo (@masalo-music) is an artist who is firmly at the heart of the city’s music scene. He’s active in numerous ways, though his focus lies solidly on DJing and producing, in which he has been turning heads with his open minded approach that takes in music that brims with vitality. The Brighter Days party he runs with Kamma is famously colourful and friendly, like the man himself, and his choice productions have found their home on the Rush Hour label, the imprint he’s closely connected with.

For this week’s mix he takes us on a two hour journey to a better place with an electrifying selection of organic dance jams, new wave, spiritual house and big hearted disco that will have you in a spin. The mixing is superbly tight given that the tunes jump around so freely from the old to the new, and it all adds up to a huge injection of escapist positivity that we all need in our lives right now.
