INTERVIEW > www.inverted-audio.com/smallpeople

We spoke to Smallpeople, the dynamic production duo behind Smallville Records and record store based in Hamburg, Germany. Dionne aka Just von Ahlefeld and Julius Steinhoff established the store in 2005 with the help of fellow musician and friend Peter Kersten aka Lawrence, and have since developed their own brand of deep house, drawing form their admiration for subtle, evolving melodies. Having released records from Christopher Rau, Move D, Moomin, STL, Lawrence, Steven Tang and Benjamin Brunn, Smallville Records have attracted a loyal following of heads, turning, what started as and still is a neighbourhood hangout into one of house music’s most prominent imprints. In the interview we discover more about their beginnings into producing music, running the store and their plans for 2014.

Over the last few months we've been quietly archiving all of the amazing music that gets shared at Paradise every weekend and we're now ready to slowly share those magic moments with the rest of the world.

Our inaugural recording comes courtesy of a first time B2B session that occurred between Josh Cheon of @darkentriesrecords and @barparttime's co-founder @jeremy_castillo at the Bar Part Time x Open Ferment afterparty on September 9, 2022.

Enjoy this two hour glimpse into a high vibe / high consumption evening with two of San Franciscos most talented and warm hearted DJs and be sure to check back often for more additions to the archive!

Trushmix 232 welcomes Jeremy Castillo straight outta San Francisco.
All around nice guy, DJ and one of the main heads man behind San Francisco's hotspot for wine and music fans Bar Part Time! And also one of the guys behind the Club Lonely parties with the best underground vibes!

Jeremy made an excellent mix for us here at Trush with the sounds of the early nineties, giving it a house infused vibe, as he states himself, house dubs on freestyle, and under the radar cheapos that have been in my bag that I wanted to use!

This is what we like!

Enjoy this mix! A perfect start to another awesome weekend!

Music from the top!

Cooking With Palms Trax 018

Live at Meredith Festival 2016

Step up next, Jonny Rock @jonnyrock. If u know .. u know 
 
A familiar face on the London house and disco scenes. Alongside running his labels Disco Hamam and Hamam House, and his Oldschool Rider moniker, Rock skilfully joins the dots between the old school house, lefty underground disco and boogie vibes in a party setting.
 
With just under an hour, Rock takes us through a diverse soundscape from spooky Synths, political New Beat to tropical House cuts - this is what fresh air smells like!
