Pepe G Radio!!

I tried to apply to various independent radios and failed miserably, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and came up with the idea to do a radio show on my own Soundcloud profile :-) I'll post themed mixes whenever I feel inspired to record them hehe. Welcome to Pepe G Radio!!!

For this first episode, category is... Spring has (almost) sprung in Chile!!!! Getting ready for these beautiful months to come with a selection of sun-tinged, flowery music. You'll find shiny tracks, high energy rollers, percussive shit, bongos, tech house (duh), 90's music, early 00's music, music from now, etc..... This mix was inspired from the feeling you get when it's starting to get hot in spring. Let's go out and fall in love with someone you met in the street, go out on a date, and dance!!!!

~ Pepe G Radio!! ~ Cap. 1 : Primavera!!!

Pepe G Radio is back bebé!!! For this time I wanted this mix to serve as a lil' love letter to one of my favorite genres in electronic music... Tech House!!!

Now, what the hell is tech house? I'm no expert by any means, but for starters I would say that there's a specific groove that happens mostly on the hi hats and basslines that's very typical of tech house records made in the 90's and the beginning of the 2000s, that's when they started using the term "tech house" to describe a particular type of music. This music could be viewed as an intersection of two different sensibilities: the structure, drive, and "mechanic force" if you will, tipically associated with techno, and the feel and soul of a house track in terms of how it sounds.

Tech house tracks are usually bouncy, rolling and stripped down. For me, tech house feels very honest with what it proposes, and I feel it's a genre that doesn't take itself too seriously, something that resonates with me a lot.

There's also a whole bunch of music that could be described as "techy" or "teky", as it is informed by this tech house tradition, I'm usually looking for this vibe a lot when I'm digging for records, I don't know why but it's something I've been lowkey obsessed with this year lol. Any track that makes you wanna go "vibessss".

In the mix you can hear some tracks of producers that helped define and shape that sound, and I mixed them with some other tracks of producers that are taking this sound to new corners. I also put in the mix some tracks that are not properly tekhaus but kinda fit in that teky-vibe-sort-of-music in my opinion.

~ Pepe G Radio!! ~ Cap 2: Tech House!!!

I'm back!! (even though I didn't go anywhere...) And I'm bringing you the third installment of my #PPGRadio series with something that I've been wanting to do for a long time. I'm presenting you some sort of manifesto in which I declare my love of Tribal and everything Tribal-related!!

This "Tribalandia" (spanish for "Tribal Land", it's quite literal but you never know haha) idea started as a Rekordbox playlist in which I put classic tribal records and any other music that had a focus on percussive elements, like bongos, drums, etc..., at the beginning I didn't know a lot of music like that so it seemed logical for me to sort it out this way. This ended up becoming an entire imaginary that connects different types of sounds, that for me they all have this tribal-ish and percussive sensitibity. From classic tribal (house), tribal from this day, club latino, raptor house / changa tuki (shoutout to Venezuela), tribal techno, tribal trance, percussive bass, percusive tools, hardgroove, guaracha, tech house, progressive, funk carioca, etc... As you can see, it's a very open and not so purist category, that looks for a certain notion of rhythm, percussion, and "body music" if that makes sense, that's present in a lot of different music.

This mix contains a little bit of all those sounds that I've been exploring on the last two years. Most of these tracks I've played out a lot, and they bring out very beautiful memories anytime I hear them. Some other tracks are newer and they're waiting to be tested out. I put a lot of emphasis on longer blends, and I found very interesting the idea of using some tracks as "tools", not giving them so much time to breathe on their own, but rather using them to build layers or as a bridge for different parts of the mix.

This interest I've developed in percussive music has taken me to know a lot more of music from Latin America that resonates with me, which is something I'm very happy about because at one point I was starting to feel a little weirded out and frustrated about the fact that most of my references in dance music were not from my own continent. Now I feel like they all coexist in this musical pot that makes sense to me and it's very much my own :)

Also I don't even know if anybody really reads these descriptions I put in here lol, but I love it so I'm gonna keep doing it!! Thanks for listening <3
