Since 2014, Brighter Days has been a part of the rich tapestry of Amsterdam nightlife – a semi-regular party promoting positivity and inclusiveness run by resident DJs Kamma and Masalo. On the back of the platform provided by the party, the duo has notched up a string of memorable club and festival appearances, a regular Brighter Days show on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM, and a memorable Boiler Room set streamed live from Dekmantel Festival.

Now Kamma and Masalo have taken the next step and curated a Brighter Days compilation for Rush Hour, a collection that does a terrific job in offering up slept-on and unreleased gems – including a clutch of their own tried-and-tested re-edits – while also accurately representing the sound, style and ethos of the event that inspired it.

Like Kamma and Masalo’s event, which invariably takes place in intimate dancing spaces in Amsterdam, the Brighter Days compilation offers up an open-minded, club-friendly soundtrack that joins the dots between crate-digging obscurities from the recent and distant past, fresh cuts, ‘secret weapons’ and previously unreleased music from young, local producers who have become regular faces on Brighter Days dancefloors.

Across nine tracks, Kamma and Masalo deliver an enticing blend of tactile and colourful house, disco, basement-ready throb-jobs, inspired dancefloor dubs and righteous boogie jams, some of which are appearing on vinyl for the very first time (see Haroumi Hosono and Yasuhiko’s ‘Turquois’, an exceedingly rare, CD-only chunk of deep, throbbing tribal house intoxication).

There are highlights everywhere you look, from the piano-house rush of the ‘Subterranean Mix Edit’ of S’Xpress’s overlooked 1990 single ‘Nothing To Lose’ and the South African Kwaito-boogie brilliance of Cisco The Champ’s ‘Move On’, to the Italo-disco excellence of Hugh Bullen’s ‘Alisand’, and Mr Fingers’ jacking 1988 remix of ‘We’re Gonna Work It Out’ by fellow Chicagoan house producers North/Clybourn.

Kamma and Masalo’s remixing and re-editing skills are put in the spotlight, too. There’s the edit of Discotheque’s 1982 Dutch-Belgian disco classic ‘For Your Love’ and a previously unreleased ‘dub’ edit of French-Cameroonian artist Anyzette’s 1984 gem ‘Baladoun’, a low-slung slice of drum machine-rich body music that blurs the boundaries between Italo-disco, Afro-boogie and proto-techno.

Completing the package are two cuts that demonstrate the duo’s love of showcasing tracks by young and little-known Dutch producers. Peffa’s ‘Routine’, an immersive and emotive treat that blends elements of deep house and Detroit techno, is just one of numerous unreleased tracks by the producer that Kamma and Masalo has been showcasing in their sets in recent years, while Desmon – whose ‘Submerge’ is a woozy, off-beat deep house treat – has been a regular on Brighter Days dancefloors since the start. It’s a fitting nod to what makes Brighter days special: a close-knit community of dancers and inspired, lesser-known music old and new.

Goodbye (DJ Seinfeld Remix)

On the heels of embarking on their new live tour ( https://whomadewho.dk/livetour ), Danish band WhoMadeWho shares their new single, “Children,” out on their newly-founded imprint, The Moment. The track, infused with the angelic timbres of the famed Danish children's choir Vesterbros Ungdomsgård, weaves seamlessly into WhoMadeWho's tapestry of sound, following their early September collaboration with Swiss duo Adriatique, “Miracle,” which was subsequently adorned with a glorious remix by RÜFÜS DU SOL. "Children" not only resonates as the second single from their highly-anticipated 9th studio album, slated for a 2024 release but also marks a pivotal moment in their ever-evolving saga.

Drawing inspiration from the nostalgic grooves of early ‘80s new wave and the psychedelic twirls of early ‘90s acid, “Children” is a confluence of rough-hewn bass, primitive drum machines, an ethereal children’s choir, and lush synth pads. 

“Children” is WhoMadeWho’s ode to their global legion of fans and the pulsating heart of the international dance scene. The track is an auditory canvas depicting kids dancing, reveling under the cosmic dance of sunlight and moonbeams. It probes into the collective psyche, questioning their origins, their identities, and the dreams that fuel their revelry. “Childen” is their anthem, an embodiment of the band’s heartfelt message to their fans: “Thank you, we love you, without you there’s no WhoMadeWho!”
