Artist: A.A.V.V.
Title: ITALO (Re)Funk+Head Kutz
Cat.#: SMS035
Format: 12''

Samosa Records cranks up the summer groove with another sizzling release in the outstanding (Re) Funk+Head series – a collection of juicy tracks from the Samosa back-catalogue selected and re-edited by the man himself, De Gama.

This sumptuous vinyl cut of ITALO Funk and Boogie kicks off with Mexico’s finest, The Funk District and the enigmatic ‘La Rapina’. This is pure, unfiltered Funk District chemistry from the first bar. Snake hips guitar, rolling bass and that super-solid 4-4-4 beat pound into your consciousness whilst the hypnotic chant and Latino-infused vocal tempt you into sin.

Next up on the A-side is Samosa head honcho DeGama and his deliciously refreshing ‘Piňa Colada’ - a new edit of the original 2011 version never previously released on Samosa. And what a mystery box it is. Tight beats, punchy bass, looped synth and house-tinged high-hat lead us to a haunting, melodic vocal breakdown. There’s a subtle Afro flavour to this one, definitely for sipping cocktails in a hammock or Caribbean beach bar.

On Side B Italian Maestro Paul Older takes the beats down several notches with the explosive ‘Daboom’ – the DeGama Re-Groove of Paul’s first vinyl release way back in 2019. This is a straight up, mid-tempo peacock strut down Funksville Boulevard. Possibly wearing a Zoot Suit. Imagine having breakfast with Herbie Hancock and you might get an idea of just how funky this tune is. He’s passing you the eggs and you’re buttering the toast.

The last track sees DeGama delve into his dark magic box for the mind-melting, film noir themed ‘Higher’. The tempo is scaled right back to 92bpm for this portrait of pain, joy, lust and hallucinogenic dreams. ‘Higher’ reveals a side of DeGama that we know lurks in there, but only sometimes makes it to the surface. Smokey, sassy and sultry, this is definitely one for the dimly-lit after party.

The latest episode in the (Re) Funk+Head has set the Samosa bar even higher. This simply has to be in your summer record box and don’t you dare leave home without it.

These are 2 previously unreleased remixes that I did for Andy and Midnight Riot in 2012. Since hearing the tragic news of Andy passing I felt that this might be a good time to share them with the public. RIP Andy.

Fran Deeper - Europe Disco - April Mix 2025

01. Secret Soul Society - For Your Love

Sometimes, music isn’t written — it’s remembered. That’s how it felt when Prep, those slick London craftsmen with hearts tuned to analog soul and satin-soft FM radio, found themselves in a studio with Eddie Chacon, the survivor saint of slow jams and sweet ruin. The match was no accident. After hearing Holy Hell, Prep felt the pull — something spiritual, something shared.

They met in L.A., threw rhythm into the room like dice, and in a single afternoon — no tension, no ego — Call It happened. Synths hummed. A sitar buzzed gently. And somewhere inside that moment, past and present stopped arguing.

The result? A track that’s part Georgy Porgy, part always was.

Add to that: Turbotito, one of L.A.’s quiet conjurors, stepping in for a remix smoother than blended velvet. As you’ve already gathered, we’re in for something rare and unique with The Sunset Manifesto.

I’ve zoomed in for the upcoming release of The Sunset Manifesto 2 which you can be sure to catch here as soon as more is out.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Based in the beautiful and vibrant city of Madrid, Spanish DJ and Producer Extraordinaire - Rayko has been a leading light in the clubbing scene around Europe and beyond, since he founded his magnificent Rare Wiri label in 2008 where he has released some of the coolest names out there during all these years like Daniele Baldelli, Man Parrish, Gazeebo, Ilija Rudman, Ichisan, Spirit Catcher, Mushrooms Project, or Eric Duncan among many others

His very unique sound and personality, and incredible work ethic, coupled with  unstoppable creative genius have given Rayko the momentum and consistency to stack up a number of great achievements in his genres, although being such a humble and down to earth guy, he will tell you that he just loves what he does and is perpetually inspired to keep on doing it! 

Deeply rooted in the golden era of the ‘70s and ‘80s, Rayko’s influences are masterfully interpreted and transformed into modern day dancefloor bombs with great vision. His love affair with the evolution of synthesizers and vintage drum machines has gone on to heavily fuel his sound today, in addition to sonic desires of 80s Rock evident in his catalogue, that displays such exquisite musical versatility. 

Rayko is very proud to have featured on over fifty great vinyl releases, spread across labels such as Eskimo, Is it Balearic?, Whisky Disco, Lumberjacks in Hell, and Editorial, including two studio albums on Nang Recordings, in addition to over two hundred digital releases. Many of these titles have been repeatedly featured in Top 10 sales charts, with some releases making it to the coveted number one position on platforms like Juno Download, Beatport, and Traxsource. His talents as a remixer have been in constant high demand, with invitations from coveted Artists like Psychemagik, Sirs, In Flagranti, Roberto Rodriguez, or Dj Rocca, to name a few, calling upon his exceptional skills.

In his capacity as DJ, Rayko is much loved wherever he goes. He has toured extensively, having played in some of the best clubs and festivals all over the world,  from London, Berlin, San Diego, Ibiza, Paris, Milan, San Francisco, Tulum, Barcelona, Manchester, Los Angeles, Medellin, Cairo, Miami, Istanbul, Moscow, Tokyo, Mexico City, Liverpool, Oslo, Rio de Janeiro, Bali, to Lebanon and beyond, he continues to show love to his huge following, who are collectively responsible for  his incredible global streaming numbers of over six million plays on Spotify, Soundcloud and YouTube.

As his fantastic catalogue continues to expand through the years, Rayko has become one of the most loved names in modern Disco.
