Title: Earth, Wind & Funk Vol.2 / Pt.2
Cat.#: SMS037-2
Format: 12''

Samosa Records comes at you with all the elements for Earth, Wind & Funk Vol. 2 – a succulent double slice of vinyl heaven! 

DeGama unlocks his ReGroove toolkit for A1 – Leslie Lello’s house stomper ‘R U Doing’.  The bass does all the talking before a glorious synth arrangement washes over your ears. The filtered, soaring, time stretched breakdown will have you in raptures. Pure late night dance floor territory, ‘R U Doing’ is simply relentless. 

Frank Virgilio gets his ‘Juice’ flowing for track A2. A fusion of furious acid style synth bass, rolling beats, organ stabs and bongos, ‘Juice’ doesn’t waste any time at all in revealing all of its glory. There’s so much goodness going on in this track – no less than the glorious, uplifting  tribal vocal that weaves its way in and out.

A3 gives a reprise of Leslie Lello’s ‘R U Doing’ with the original cut making a welcome appearance on the disc. All the ingredients are here – tight bongo led rhythm, gorgeous sequenced synth and driving bass. ‘R U Doing’ is one of those smile inducing tunes that lights up the floor, be that sunset or sunrise. 


On the B-side of this Part.2 we return to the company of Dirty Elements & Drunk Drivers with ‘Hey You’ and another DeGama Re-Groove. Coming in at 124pm, ‘Hey You’ leads you up the piano dazzler path – a pounding, funk fuelled story set in the big city after midnight with no cabs home available. 

On  B2 Iberian groove master Javi Frias bakes all his funk in one big pie with ‘The Big Dance’. At a heady 128bpm, ‘The Big Dance’ wastes no time in setting its stall out. Javi’s recipe is electric, elaborate and fast-paced – oodles of bongos, laser beams and a disco bass to die for, ‘The Big Dance’ does exactly what it says on the tin.  


In Earth, Wind & Funk Vol. 2 Samosa Records has produced a stunning double slab release, featuring a good mix of some of the label’s most prolific artists and some welcome newcomers.

My recent journey down to Dublin to play alongside the wonderful Kelly-Anne Byrne at the fantastic Hens Teeth for her Stop The Lights monthly session! An amazing space with wonderful clientele and top sound system! Thanks to everyone who enjoyed the beats we played this night. Kelly begins the session here when I take over at the hour and a half mark for 2 hours before we went B2B for the last hour with some big tunes. Hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed playing! xx

Alkalino - 3 Hours DJ Set @ Rocca Riviera (Munich)

Disco Inferno (delfonic rework)

I started my choir edits a few years ago, and they've quickly become some of my favourites and grown a decent following with plays on radio, across clubs, bars and festivals.

So, having just put together a new Choir edit of Chic's Good Times with the amazing Social Disco Club cover and Brythoniaid Male Voice Choir, I thought I'd put them all in one place. So that's 12 Choir edits spanning

Bowie, Daft Punk, Joy Division, New Order x2, Chic, Fleetwood Mac, Eurythmics, Robyn, Talking Heads and Madonna in one place and for under a tenner.
