April 2017

On saturday the 31th of August, Trujillo and Claas Brieler from Jazzanova met in the lobby to play an exclusive rare vinyl selection.  A recording for sunny and rainy days alike, full of warmth, one of the best our lobby has heard.

True Class (Trujillo & Claas Brieler) - Rare grooves session 31.08

THE FLUFFER!

Stunning mix! Volcov blessed us with a warm winter we think… The DJ and producer from Italy came by a few weeks ago to record a new store mix in the series. He restricted himself, dug the jazz bins and selected deep spiritual music to light up our days . 

Volcov is a DJ and collector and music lover since the late 80s and has played all around Europe, USA and Japan. He founded the record labels Archive in 1997, Neroli in 2000 and SJNRL in 2003. He lived in London during the drum & bass and broken beat heydays, today he resides back home in Verona, and is part of the strongly growing Sounds Familiar crew.

This is the fifth in a series of Rush Hour Store mixes, where we invite our favorite artists and DJs to dig the bins and record us a mix on the spot. Click on the links below for more info on the featured tracks.

Patrick Gibin aka TwICE came down to our store to record a mix on the spot. The British Italian dug deeper than the obvious and selected us a bunch of hidden beauties, like overlooked album songs. This guy knows what's up!

UK born DJ, producer and record collector living in Italy, Gibin started his own record label Blend it! in 2011 with the first release of his successful and sought after Black Aroma edits series. His dj sets cover a wide range of genres, styles and tempos, from old to new sounds, all put together in an original and fresh blend.

"So I really don't have to bring any records?", Kai Alce asked again just before coming down to the store. The rules of the game seemed pretty unusual to him, which he enjoyed a lot. The result didn't only surprise us, but also himself. After digging the bins, he selected only a few tracks he knew. It became a nicely flowing mix, which - again - displays the rich musicality of Detroit's house music tradition. And goes beyond.

Kai Alce was born in New York City, grew up in Detroit and eventually moved to Atlanta. Although last mentioned city is not particularly famous for house music, Alce is one of Atlanta's mainstays of keeping soulful house alive in the city. As well on his NDATL imprint as on Detroit based outlets as Mahogani and FXHE, Alce has released acclaimed musical house in the past decades.

Traxsource LIVE! #114 with DJ Spinna

Recorded live from the beachfront at the wonderful Patterns in Brighton. No Editing, no fancy effects, just a DJR400, my trusty delay pedal, a bag full of records and a handful of exclusives on USB.

This dance marked the beginning of a quarterly residency at Patterns and if this one was anything to go by we're off to a flying start. Next one is with @chaosinthecbd : https://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?942873

This mix really takes us on a quite a journey - from experimental incantations, to Uk garage to B-more via African boogie, forgotten funk and thai psychadelia - all with a good slab of PROPER deep house in the middle.
A good introduction for what could go down at my next all night session - which is happening at PHONOX 21 may: http://bit.ly/BZallnightPhonox

Upcoming dates

Bradley Zero extended DJ set: Live Beside the Seaside @ Patterns, Brighton, March '17

The sculpture of sound is an innovative and individual process by which no two musicians can truly align. Max Graef stems from a background in hip hop, jazz, funk and soul. House plays less of a role in his day to day existence than his releases to date might perhaps indicate. Someone once said that all music, was to a degree a form of jazz. Whether there is much truth in this is debatable, but Max Graef has succintly managed to integrate influential elements from an array of genres within his multi-faceted sound. 

This summer Max Graef will play at @farmfestival in Somerset, a festival which has made a name through its tasteful curation and musical eclecticism. In honour of his appearance we were able to reach out to him to contribute to our exclusive Ransom Note mix series for what is a special assortment of sound in motion.

Tom Noble's Baby's Big Disco Mix for THUMP

Until now, we've got a big load of mixtapes that covered the "Disco" part in our name. But at our headquarters, everyone was waiting for a Dub representative! Taking a huge 
spot in our list of influences, this is the genre that always puts a smile on your face. At least this is what we think.
Smooth and silky, packed to the brim with cosmic effects and pounding horns, as well as the physical omnipresence of the uncomparable sub-bass, this is how we like it. 
And this is just the way how Bas van Diepen put it all together in this gem of a mixtape, Blending Roots & Steppers Dub with weird, off-beat Synth Pop madness.
Finally, Dub Disco comes together!

Mr. Mendel has been a RH store customer for over a decade. He pops in for listening sessions on a regular basis, yet not for hours and hours like he did a few weeks ago. The broadly inspired DJ checked the racks in many corners before he started recording. His store mix became lengthy, featuring 26 tracks.

Growing up in Amsterdam, Mendel started out in the city’s hip-hop scene. Later, when he worked at Waxwell Records, he got further introduced to many styles of music, broadening his musical horizon from Brazilian to African music, and from disco to soul to house music. Today, Mr Mendel tours extensively through Europe and beyond and releases edits on Lumberjacks in Hell, Disco Deviance and Basic Fingers.

Store Mix 017 | Mr. Mendel Digs Rush Hour

Back by popular demand: Tako's wonderful Holiday Mix!
Here's what I wrote 7 years ago:

I was about to post this beautiful summer mix of Tako with the following words:

"What do you expect from a mix when it's done by a supernice guy with an excellent taste in music and a wonderful record collection? Yeah and that's exactly what you get here. Also make sure to get a copy of the first 12" of the Sombrero Galaxy, released on Lovefingers long awaited ESP Institute. Sombrero Galaxy is the collabo between Tako and Jonny Nash and their "Journey to the center of the sun" is one of my favourite releases of the last years, cheers!"

That was yesterday. In the meantime something terrible happened. Tako's friend Petros Malevis from Athens passed away without a warning. This mix is dedicated to Petros! He will be missed. Rest in peace, Petros.
