UN_DEUX, Villanova - It's the Funk [Indie House Records]

We're back with a fantastic edit from @user-84053657 that should keep the summer toes moving. 

"Ah Ya Albi" is a song originally performed by Egyptian singer Hakim. The song, which translates to "Oh My Heart", is a popular Arabic song known for its energetic and emotional style. This song is the best manifestation of the period when Arabic folk (known as shaabi) expressing itself through contemporary sounds. 

Hakim, often called "The Lion of Shaabi," played a key role in popularizing this genre globally, infusing it with contemporary beats while keeping its roots in Egyptian street culture. "Ah Ya Albi" stands out for its catchy melody, powerful vocals, and the raw, heartfelt expression typical of shaabi music.

In her own words....

I chose this track because I have always been captivated by the vibrant and mystical sounds of Middle Eastern music. As a DJ, I often perform at parties dedicated to Middle Eastern electronic rhythms, one of which is held in Russia, in Orenburg, called Chastota 528. This track beautifully embodies the rich colors and soulful melodies of the East. When I first heard it, I was instantly inspired and felt a deep desire to transform it into an electronic version that would capture its essence and bring its magic to life on the dance floor.

Welcome to the 4th label release for @PuzzleProjectsMusic from Athens-based Christos Antoniou AKA @christosda-afro, who, having spent three straight years in the Traxsource Top 100 Nu-Disco & Disco Artists, is without question a proven and prolific producer.

Blending Latin flavours, a kicking disco beat and more Carnival flavour than you could shake a maraca at, ‘Amigos’ is a beautifully produced disco jam. 

The track builds to a crescendo via a series of filter drops and peaks with a blistering sax hook that will have you doing the Samba-strut in no time. And then it does it again with an even bigger breakdown and drops, creating a track that will work in virtually any DJ set. 

Then again, you wouldn’t expect anything less from C. Da Afro, the hugely talented Greek producer who’s known for bringing Funk, Soul, Afro and Latin to his disco. 

And with PuzzleProjectsMusic on a roll with a series of Juno Download No.1 spots from @FunkeeSoundsMusic, @ynnad-zeugnimod and @Boogietraxxatx this summer anthem from C. Da Afro looks like doing the dance-floor business once again.

Keep a firm eye on @PuzzleProjectsMusic as releases to follow on the label feature more outstanding talents in the lead up to label founder @BenSpaldingOfficial’s debut EP in early 2021.

JUNO REVIEW:
Despite the artist name and album title, this is far from being the collection of 15 limp, same-y soul ballads you might be fearing! Instead, Secret Soul Society - AKA Neon Heights front man Cal Gibson and friends - serve up veritable sm?rg?sbord of Balearic delights, from the dusty, looped disco-soul of 'Better Get To Know You' and the folksy Laurel Canyon vibes of 'Groovy Coconuts' to the 80s soul redux of 'Find Our Way', the bonkers 'Leeping For Joy' which should appeal to fans of 4hero, Four Tet et al, and the Stevie Nicks-biting 'Stevie Loves Bettye'.

The Secret Soul Society- Stevie Loves Bettye

My take on another ECK gem. New bass, percs, arrangment and FX. Hope you like.

Mauro Vecchi - PuzzleProjectMusic Guest Mix Vol.138

If ever there was someone who the phrase “How does he find time to make that?” was about, serial editor and remixer Pete Le Freq is it. His reworks have been played on BBC Radio 6 regularly by Craig Charles, and DJs the world over, and the sheer number of tracks he produces have caused people to suggest he doesn't sleep much.

Pete started producing over 12 years ago, and made a bit of noise with his house label Llama Farm Recordings. He's been remixed by Jay-J, Eric Kupper and Kenny Summit, appeared on compilations with Joey Negro and LCD Soundsystem, and played alongside  the likes of Crazy P, Inland Knights, CagedBaby and a few others. 

Since discovering the things he was sampling were better than the things he was making, Pete found that retouching and reworking the originals gave him his producing mojo back, and soon after Alpaca Edits was born. 

The York based edits label has since become home to disco superstars such as Dr Packer, Chuggin Edits, and Mannix. He’s been resident DJ at Sotano in York for the last 7 years, and this has fuelled his productions to greater heights. He’s known for playing 5 hour sets that incorporate both his new productions and others versions of serious disco action.

2019 has seen Pete get a vinyl release alongside the likes of Fingerman, Al Kent and Sleazy McQueen on Samosa Recordings, produce remixes for the likes of Hot Digits and Midnight Riot, as well as having 4 eps of his reworks on his own Alpaca Edits. He’s also debuted at Tramlines Festival in Sheffield, and made a return to rock the Toil Trees stage at Beatherder for the second year running. 

November saw him support Michael Gray and Fingerman at Distrikt in Leeds and Derek Kaye in York. The year ended with him beating the likes of Mousse T and Ray Mang in the Traxsource Nu-Disco Top 100 Artists of the year. 

Lockdown saw Pete go into rework overdrive, running a weekly Thursday night stream, as well as starting a regular show on Street Sounds Radio. He also worked with Ashley Slater of Freak Power on some original tracks.

2021 has seen the return of Pete’s That Needs An Edit nights in York, and will culminate in December with a guest slot from Shaka Loves You.
Roll on 2022!
