I-F @ HEAT x Intergalactic FM 11.02

A.L.P. presents his monthly show: Take Notice A diverse one-hour trip to sharing genre-bending tunes in different forms. Aiming to open up a layered world of music where friendly grooves are seamlessly mixed with heavy basslines.  

For the 13th episode we invited a special guest from Clone Records & Pontoon Bookings, Yopo 

Yopo is always one step ahead of the curve. His work at Clone Records ensures that but what stands him apart is what he does with that musical knowledge: he can either melt minds with his club-ready DJ sets of house, techno and electro, or when on the radio, hosting a stream or playing a heady listening session he will lay out experimental ambient trips full of narrative and steeped in musical research. Within each of these two distinctive sound worlds, there are no limits to where he might go.

TAKE NOTICE w Yopo - 9th August 2023

“A monthly show focusing on Mowgli’s more moody and out-there tracks. Take a ride trough this concrete jungle full of surprises. From stripped down electronics melancholia through weird synths and analogue rhythms.”

For this episode he invited Amsterdam based duo Vinex City Movement.

not an early bird w/ Katie - 14th February 2024

Rush Hour celebrated 25 years last year and got to join the festivities at Potato Head together at the beach club for a perfect night of my kind of EDM with Moodymann, Antal, Sassy J and Ones. 

My set was inspired by my years at Rush Hour, and my early days of digging for house music, and ofcourse no set goes without some Indonesian Jiwa Jiwa jams.

For our 25th release, we'll be revisiting the work of singular Japanese musician Minoru ‘Hoodoo’ Fushimi. In 1983, a young Minoru was working from his home studio in Japan’s Kanagawa prefecture and determined his first release would be an ode to Japan’s musical heritage. Minoru had noticed the younger generation become increasingly disillusioned with traditional Enka songs and decided to breathe new life into the sentimental ballads of old. The multi-talented artist laid down the beat using a TR-606 and played all the additional instruments himself. 

The resulting tracks are two mutations from the energetic style of the originals into much darker and abstract versions, albeit managing to maintain the passion and spirit of the Enka genre. Minoru utilised a number of vocal distortions to honour the original vibrato singing style, executing the tracks in a way that was more of a mesh between early punk squelching of the late 70’s and Troutman’s funk-fuelled voice-box of the early 80’s. In true Minoru style, his vision overshadowed the accessibility and ironically the tracks fell short of their appeal to the younger generation he was aiming to inspire, yet resulted in two timeless renditions.

Deep in the heart of Rotterdam’s concrete jungle you’ll catch Mowgli swinging through a crate of minimal wave, proto EBM, unknown boogie and the noisier edges of Chicago house and early techno.
With a persistent lean towards the darker and the grittier, Mowgli’s known for his leftfield selections that are stripped right back to the bare necessities. Heavy duty drum machine workouts and raw analogue synths are always on the menu, and this head chef is cooking up a storm whenever he steps behind the deck.

With an early fascination for bands like Parliament Funkadelic, Kleeer and Midnight Star, he’s always had a feel for the grooves that make you move. Formative experiences in Rotterdam’s underground club scene led the funk and soul boy down a path towards distorted electronix, and from those smoke-filled basements he’s never looked back.

Finding his feet among the freaks at early morning dances, his electronic education was synthesiser-driven from the very beginning. High NRG, Italo Disco and the Dutch West Coast Sound were all early influences, and every weekend he’d seek out the sounds at notable venues Bar, Hoboken & Perron.

With a growing flame for digging and DJing he was quickly recruited as a store trooper to work the counter at Pinkman. Here he submerged himself in the strange shades of electronic music’s deeper corners, stocking the aisles with labels like L.I.E.S, Bunker, L.A Club Resource, Stroom, South of North, plus Pinkman, CHARLOIS and Mindri.

Quickly developing a taste for the rougher edges of DIY dance music, he began his long running Operator residency as a platform for all his favourite finds. A regular show diving to the depths of his sound, it’s a must for all those with a soft spot for overdriven distortion and moody melancholia. 

Keeping up regular appearances at spots all over the Netherlands, including PIP, Blijdorp Festival, Poing, BIT, RadioRadio, Skatecafe & Weelde, Mowgli’s sound is taking him further afield with invitations from all four corners of the Netherlands and beyond.
