BEYOND TOMORROW  RADIO SHOW #6 (NO ADVERTS) -  DEEP SOUTH TRANSMISSION (XTRA HOT D.A.B.) 22.02.2024

Producer, DJ, remixer, label boss, taste-maker. Jamie Odell wears many hats and wears them well.

Under his Jimpster alias, he has become one the most revered deep house artists operating on the scene today. His esteemed labels Freerange and Delusions Of Grandeur continue to help break incredible new music and equally impressive acts such as Detroit Swindle, Tornado Wallace and Session Victim. From his UK base, Jimpster has inadvertently become a standard-bearer and custodian of the authentic house sound, and carries this flag to the four corners of the world.

As he puts it himself, “The mission is clear: to try to inject warmth, depth, soul, sincerity and attitude to both my productions and my DJ sets. This is what sets the major players apart from the pretenders. That challenge is what keeps me focused and inspired 30 years on and I'm sure it will keep me on my toes for many years to come."

Spring time haze, a follow on from the winter warmers mix we did for you last time. 

It’s something that ebbs and flows softly, giving off that fresh optimism of a new season but nostalgic still. Lots of light bokeh and vintage tones if it was put to film, hah! I also wanted to do a mix that felt timeless, making it re-listenable and ultimately very enjoyable tone-wise.

Longtime friends and musical collaborators Max Essa and Eddie C just joined the RNT fold, with their new 4-tracker of melancholic and exquisitely produced chilled out disco.

Begun as a lockdown project, the 'We Live In The Hills' EP explores a vast palette of sonic soundscapes, from the shimmering guitars and acid lines of Melon Stepping, to the insistent rolling bass and whimsical synths of Save Me, the deep funk of the EP’s title track, and the late nite driving soundtrack stylings of Sixth Bridge. This EP tells a hopeful story of emerging from isolation and doubt, like a lovely musical sunrise after a long dark night.

To celebrate the release, Max Essa hopped on his decks in Tokyo to make his RNT Podcast debut! He shifts through many of the tones that inspired 'We Live In The Hills', as well as material from the EP itself, while harnessing records from friends & family around the globe for 90 minutes of bliss.

ABOUT THE MIX:

Tommy Soul's mix represents a captivating journey through the Italian music scene of the '80s, focused on funk and Italo Disco. The opening with the intro of Fabrizio De Andrè's "Creuza de Mä" sets the atmosphere, followed by a selection of tracks from labels like Ricordi, Carosello, and Full Time Records.
The range spans from well-known artists like Lucio Dalla and Vasco Rossi to less mainstream productions like MEO's "Chichita" and Tom Hooker's "Talk With Your Body." The mix includes instrumental tracks like Topo & Roby's "Under The Ice" and KOTO's "Chinese Revenge."

The set culminates with hits like Kano's "Can't Hold Back" and Ago's "You Make Me Do It," reflecting Italy's significant contribution to the international disco scene. The rarity and musical quality stand out, particularly with Kash's "Percussion Sundance," an authentic gem of Italo Disco.
The conclusion, featuring tracks like Mango's "Bella D'Estate," Boeing's "Dance On The Beat," and Pino Daniele's "Yes I Know My Way," adds an emotional dimension to the DJ set.

Exclusively recorded on vinyl in his studio, this mix is presented for Marcel Vogel's podcast, a key figure in the underground disco scene. Without frills, Tommy Soul's set celebrates Italy's musical heritage directly and incisively, offering an hour of an authentic sonic experience from the '80s.

Lumberjacks Tapes 058: Tommy Soul (Italian Funk & Disco Mix)

It is not everyday we are sent a 5 hour mix from someone we have asked to join our Phonica mix series; but when Sheffield & Manchester legend Luke Una sends one… you have to jump straight into it! Having become first recognised in the late 80’s and 90’s as one half of production team “The Unabombers” with Justin Crawford, Luke over the years has shown to be a master in all genres be it Balearic, to Brazilian to E soul, House, Disco and Techno, you name it! With his Worldwide FM show over the years gaining a cult following Luke has gained an even more of a broader crowd from his curation of his E Soul Cultura compilation series via the label Mr.Bongo (Both comps topping our EOY lists in 2022 and 2023). This exact vast taste (that is displayed in these compilations) is very much pummelled into this five hour journey of a mix like a piece of clay and sculpted into a fine piece of art. We had a chat with Luke about this timeless mix and what he has been up to lately: http://offtherecord.net/phonica-mix-series-119luke-una/

Lumberjacks in Hell has been founded in 2010. Intimate Friends followed in 2013. For some people the difference or the need for distinction between these two is quite evident but to give you an idea. Lumberjacks is always 100% for the dance floor, inspired by the music from Chicago and Detroit which is not only reflected in the Artists we release. Intimate Friends is a headier affair. Soul, Hip Hop and House are all fair game. If you check the releases next to each other both labels have a distinct sound. And maybe a certain BPM range. This isn't saying that some of the music couldn't have appeared on either label but somehow it all makes sense to me. Thanks for supporting the music and artists we are releasing and don't hesitate to get in touch! We love to hear from you,

Marcel Vogel, Amsterdam 2017
