Euan Fryer - Skipper at Athens of the North has been collecting and DJing rare soul, funk & disco for over 30 years. Known in the scene for his scottish club in the late 90s/early 200s called Motherfunk, which was strictly soul and funk45sm, much loved, and always chock-full. His collecting, djing and knowledge lead him to running labels for Jazzman Records in Camden for 11 years. After this he started the much-respected Athens of the North label around 10 years ago which has gone from strength to strength, moving from not only rare soul and Funk releases, but new music as well.  

"This mix is a taste of my favourite releases from the label and also a preview of things to come in the next year or so."

SlothBoogie Guestmix #394 - Athens of the North

“Let’s set the scene. You’re walking through Williamsburg. It’s not the Williamsburg you remember but you know there’s a proper dance party happening somewhere. Oh, what’s this? A tiny fruit market? You see people entering but not exiting. Also the lights are dim for some reason. You poke your head in, cough up some cash, and you’re immediately greeted by a Pharoah Sanders remix playing loud (but not too loud) on Klipschorns and La Scalas. You’ve arrived at the Rocksteady Disco night at Milagrosa Mezcaleria. Next thing you know you’re making out.”

Lumberjacks Tapes 048: Rocksteady Disco ( Live At Milagrosa )

We invited our good friends the Patchouli Brothers for a special guest mix session just a few days ahead of their set in Montreal for the annual Mundo Disko party presented at Pride Festival (August 13th. Infos here)

We gave the talented DJ/Production duo and brothers in disco a simple challenge: make us a mix featuring their favorite Montreal discothèque records.

“We focused on some of our Montreal favourites from the 70s and 80s.  We missed a few though. Amra. Nina Dunn. More! 

Most of the Canadian disco we love is from Montreal! There are definitely a few great Toronto records from the time, but a lot of what we dig comes from or is connected to Unidisc and their sub labels. Think there was just more of it produced in Montreal as the scene was stronger? The Montreal music we enjoy is more of that electronic, euro influenced sound, while the Toronto stuff we’ve found to be more connected with classic r&b and/or Caribbean influenced. We like the likes of Crack of Dawn, Liberty Silver, Everett Haughton, from Toronto, just to name a few to not leave our hometown outta the picture! “

A few last words before we see you on the dancefloor at Mundo Disko?

“We’re honoured to be involved! We’ll be doing our best to continue the legacy of our musical hero and friend, Robert Ouimet, by playing music we love and making everyone dance!”
