I take a lot of inspiration from 70s and 80s soul and funk artists. It was an amazing time for musical movements and Roy Ayers changed the game. For me its all about his passion and realness. ‘Everybody Loves the Sunshine’ is a classic and one that I wanted to share with with a new generation. 

Im really enjoying working with these old school vocals. Taking classic the blue sounds of R&B and rebirthing them for the bass generation. Rhythm & Bass.

Big love to Purple Sneakers for running the premiere:

Soul Has No Tempo present Groove Curse, Jordan Rakei's long-awaited follow up to highly-acclaimed debut EP Franklin’s Room, his modern take on reggae-infused soul music. Groove Curse takes an evolved turn, with a sound Rakei describes as “raw, vocal-driven, groove”.

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

I am DJ since many years now or as I must say many decades! I always had been very open minded concerning music. I do listen to a lot of different styles and do not care much about any limits. My benchmark is my personal taste. So my record collection is not a typical collection as I do not have the ambition to complete it in any way. I tried to hold a lot of records over the years (being happy when I sometimes realized what hides on the shelves) but started selling bits and pieces to make space for something new. Difficult enough but I am not too keen in owning
the original first pressing. Of I am proud if playing an original record but in the end the music and the selection is what counts.

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format. 

Unfortunately I discovered the 7" format quite late. A longplayer definitely counts because of a cover to recognize a record quick. Very helpful while djing in shady clubs with less or no lights behind the dj deck. But the 7" is of course easy to handle and even more
easy to bring along! And you will find THE song you will play on it avoiding a lot of fillers you will have to carry as well. Not to forget the fact that there a quite a lot of songs which never made it on a lp album. Getting older it is nice to focus on the main facts! ;-)

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

I tried to finish after 45 minutes which did not happen in the end. When I first planed the mix I wanted to do something totally different. Now I ended up starting on a breakneck speed and keeping the pace until the end. Maybe if the tempo would have been less the mix might have been longer....
First of all I started with some excellent soundtrack seven inches from Augusto Martelli and Michel LeGrand followed by cheesy "Super Soul Theme" from the J.B. Pickers. Followed by some of my jazzy favorites from Tony Leveille, Airto Fogo and Johnny Harris. Nice to have "Stepping Stones" on a 7"! German Jazz outfit Sincerely P.T. finishes this part before getting back to soundtracks. Not the rare ones but "Enter The Dragon" & "Theme From Black Belt Jones" are killer tunes anyway. Moroder's "Tears" and Doldinger's "Back In The Grass" cool things down until "La Cougar" a 2015 Library sound is dropped. "Jungle Root" by Dick Schory is essential to have on a 7" and with a mix of czech, japanese, turkish and italian jazzy 45ers I come to an early end. With swedish sung cover of Doris' "You'll Never Come Closer" by James Hollingworth I end up slowly just to know I have to be back with a different mix!

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music?

Nowadays you will find me more often on the radio then at a club. Catch my weekly radio show >Out Of Spectrum< on www.byte.fm
Tune in every tuesday at 17:00 CET
Unfortunately my monthly show >Freeform< at NDR Info 90.3 fm has been dismissed. 
Behind the decks you will find me at the Mojo Club saturdays on a monthly basis.

5) Top 5 all time fave records

The question everybody will like and hate at the same time!
Too many tracks to mention and impossible to focus just on a handful.... I am sorry! But here are bunch of seven inches I like:
Dave Pike - Mathar
Dick Schory - Jungle Root
Sugar Pie DeSanto - Do The Whoopie Nicola Conte - Free Souls
Dynamite - Borracho

45/7 #18 ARTIST: OLIVER KORTHALS

To have, masters of the grooves, Hardsoul, on the beat production and the legendary Candy Dulfer on sax and vocals, coming together on one track…, this just has the words ‘BIG’ written all over. A combination made in heaven?, yes we believe so, heaven for true house music that is! For the house heads claiming to have not heard of Candy Dulfer, google her for some jaw dropping moments!
Besides the sublime original we have Soulavengerz and Born To Funk on remix duties. Both being quality remixes. Soulavengerz giving some extra flavour to the grooves and Born To Funk toughen up the original for peak time moments.
