I've always been a fan of Marcel's DJ sets and was a regular follower of his show on Amsterdam’s Red Light Radio where he hosted some of my favourite DJs including Motor City Drum Ensemble, Hunee, Mendel and Rahaan. 

When he approached me about doing a guest mix I was absolutely thrilled to have him on board and this mix does not disappoint! Running at just over 2 hours, Marcel spins disco, funk, house & lots more and delivers some serious party vibes! 💃

Hit up Marcel’s page & catch him spinning live at the incredible @liverpool_disco_festival on 31st July 2021 🔥

The Guest Mix 005: Marcel Vogel

Up next on the Guest Mix, we have a very special mix from Italy's own The Grasso Brothers.

Gino & I have been chatting over the last 12 months or so and I’m very honoured to present this mix to you. The Grasso Brothers  have sourced and supplied records for DJs such as Sadar Bahar, Dimitri from Paris & Volcov and this mix is jam packed of disco boogie magic!

The Italian brothers Gino and Federico Grasso are among the Italian disco "don", collecting disco and boogie for over 30 years always looking for the best rare tracks. In 2016 they were calling from BBE for realize a compilation of their obscure gems.. The comp is called The Grasso Brothers present: "We Know How to Boogie".  Gino is a familiar face, often working in Italian and foreign clubs as well as in his hometown, Bologna, while for Federico, by choice, DJ sets are more occasional always looking for the right opportunity to offer music for fine palates. Music, passion and knowledge has led the Grasso Brothers to play in Paris, London, Jazz Re found, Special party for Fat Fat Festival, Organica Festival and Liverpool Disco Festival.

Be sure to check out their socials at @gino_grasso and @federico.grasso72  

Thanks again Gino & Federico - pleasure working with you guys! Grazie Mille 🙏

The Guest Mix 007: The Grasso Brothers

20 years ago, it was pretty much the dawn of the internet for me, I got my first email adress ( that i still use ) and slowly figured out how to order records via GEMM and perhaps an early EBAY. I have no idea how I ended up finding Million Dollar Disco and BringTheHeat but I did, and thats how I met Zernell, Rahaan, Boogie Nite, Sean Souds, Zaf, LoveOnTheRun and Al Kent of course. 
I wanna say Million Dollar Disco was incredibly sophisticated with articles and mixes and a message board. Even then the man in question had this unsatisfyable obsession with everything disco, strings and horns. I remember his Disco Demands  CD comps that later transitioned into epic releases on BBE, a crazy resource of deep disco and uptempo soul.
Later in when I moved to Berlin we've invited him to play our party LEGACY and even though the turn out wasn't great in 2005, he's played an amazing set. Of course. He leaves very little to chance and always brings the craziest edits of the craziest songs.
Later, we did another party when I had moved to Amsterdam. With more people and more Disco. And two of his edits even made it onto a Lumberjacks 12". 
Since then he's edited, produced, compiled, organized and endless amount of music and parties. 
A stubborn, akward, funny scottish trailblazer who's never betrayed his purest of love for Disco, so much so he's certainly in a league of his own.

Enjoy this mix and get familiar with one of the great Disco DJ's of our time!

Marcel

GE-OLOGY's exclusive mix for Rainbow Disco Club 2022 podcast:

If I had to choose one word to describe the theme of the mix, it would be TRAVELING. But conceptually, it's more about traveling in ALL its various forms...physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Two years ago, the entire world came to a standstill due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and traveling came to an abrupt stop across the planet in response. Nation after nation closed its borders throughout numerous continents, and soon everyone found themselves confined at home isolated from each other, and our loved ones. And that experience has forever changed us. That alone is another form of traveling...one of pain, difficulty and growth that takes us to new places inside ourselves, even when we're not physically flying across oceans, or gathering with our beloved family and friends (due to social distancing guidelines, quarantines and safety restrictions). But life is a constant journey, so traveling (in a sense) has been a recurring theme for me in all the creative forms of my visual and musical expression, as well as throughout my life's experiences. [Traveling = Movement = Growth = Evolving = Rebirth]. Our journeys continue to shape who we are.

So the mix begins with an introductory exchange between Zenigata Keibu and Mine Fujiko (excerpt from Lupin III) which brings forth the subject of traveling--as the Inspector is in constant yet futile pursuit of Lupin (who had already left on a trip just ahead of Inspector Zenigata's arrival). This Japanese manga series cult classic, inspired by Arsène Lupin (the gentleman thief and detective character created by French writer Maurice LeBlanc) felt like the perfect dialogue to use as the introduction for the deep and heavy mix of vinyl selections to follow. The mix features some special records from my collection, amassed from decades of diggin' around the world [Japan included], which in itself is a byproduct of many great opportunities to travel--for which I'm deeply grateful. The 2nd record I play in the mix, aptly titled "Everybody's On A Trip" by Garden of Eden (the brainchild of gifted Birmingham, Alabama musician Ken Talley), was originally released as a single with limited local success back in 1979. Largely unknown for 28 years, it would later become a highly sought-after 7-inch for DJs and record collectors after Kon and Amir's 'Off Track' series release in 2007 put it on the map. But the mix delves even deeper with a mixture of other rare and obscure records (that have now become quite expensive), private pressings, and even some cheap 'under-the-radar' HEAT that spans the late 70s and early 80s, right up to the present. With a focus towards music lovers, dancers, audiophiles and collectors alike, it builds up slowly and seamlessly into a full-fledged dance-floor experience, navigating through the worlds of jazz, funk, disco, soul, island-funk, post-punk, Brazilian and beyond. It's a celebration of the world reopening again, and finally getting the opportunity to appreciate music together and dance at Rainbow Disco Club. Enjoy!

It would be rude not to. Really worked hard to meet my deadline this year to deliver you another Gospel mix for the holidays. When @captainrocklock reached out requesting one it was a wrap.
This goes out with love to all faiths and beliefs. Its a puzzle and all of us are a piece of it.
Its all about love, and be loved and help and be helped.
I wish you all wonderful holidays and a well deserved break.
We all have been through so much together over the last couple of years but the good news is, we are still here.
I hope my mixes help you to relax and smile and take everything a bit easier. ❤️

Nothing but love,

Marcel

Marcel Vogel - Gospel Mix IV 23.12.2022

It's been a while since we had a contribution to our mix series but we're back with a special one off from an old friend and long time supporter of the label - Mike O'Mara AKA The Wizard. Six years ago Mike blessed us with a killer mix and he's delivered once again. 

A backroom specialist, we're in classic Wizard territory,  treading the line between soul, street soul & boogie. 

Don't sleep.

The Record Dig Is Real!!

Recorded "LIVE" on Easter Sunday, 2019 - Here's a nice long (just under 5 hours) taste from what was a beautiful 8 hour journey of sensational music curated on the fly by the super combo of GE-OLOGY and RED GREG (both amazing in their own right), whose individual and combined music knowledge, chemistry, insane record collections, and masterful DJ skills WOW'd the Selectors Stage audience at DEKMANTEL a few years ago when they first paired up to play back-to-back. Ever since, it's been a treat to see these guys team up on a few more occasions...and the 6th birthday celebration for the FEVER 105 crew was no exception! Pure musical bliss....enjoy!

GE-OLOGY & RED GREG (LIVE at The Pickle Factory, London)- Easter Sunday 2019 - Fever 105 6th bday!!!

Hey. Like everyone at the moment I have been spending a lot of time at home, so decided to do a mix (which doesn't happen very often for various reasons). With a vague idea of what direction I wanted to take, and after playing around and selecting lot's of different records and exploring various themes, a pattern began to emerge.
So here is the result, a quick mix with a decidedly strong Brit Funk vibe. I enjoyed the feel-good nature of the tracks, something we could all do with under the current conditions.
Made using two Technics 1200 turntables, a Bozak AP2 mixer and a stack of well loved vinyl.
Please comment, like and share if you are enjoying it.
Take care, be safe, and keep dancing!
Happy Easter x
