Horse Meat Disco - 26 September 2021

Tiger & Woods - 28 September 2021

I discovered Frankie Knuckles through his music, one that was, gentle, lush with a subdued, understated power that rocked many a dancefloor.
I had the privilege to hear him once in the heyday of his legendary residency at Sound Factory Bar in New York. I was submerged, sonically and emotionally by the beauty of the music I heard that night. I remember very clearly saying to myself that this would be impossible to ever equal.
That was 20 years ago, and I never got to hear this magic combination again.

I got to meet Frankie a few times, and he was always like his music, gentle, humble,   yet naturally imposing

I've put together here some of my favorite music from him. So that his legacy can keep on inspiring other people.

Rest in peace, Frankie, may your music keep on moving people eternally

@closecounters

Since the day in 2022 where we partied alongside Allan McConnel and Finn Rees of Close Counters on a balmy summer's day in Naarm/Melbourne's St Kilda, we added them to our mixtape bucket list for a contribution in due time.

If you're not acquainted with their sound already, Close Counters make music for vibrant club dance floors with an expansive catalogue of tunes covering everything from soul, house, broken beat and boogie/disco.

With two albums and numerous original releases that have been featured on BBC Radio, triple j, and iHeart Radio, Al and Finn have gained a cult following of disco descendants. Their ’23 album ‘SOULACOASTA II’ was the Best Electronic Work at Music Victoria Awards last year.

They’ve also achieved the notable honour of an inclusion in the FIFA 23 soundtrack (the final official FIFA™ game) which is the pinnacle and peak of good music recognition, at least for us.

Enjoy their hour long mixtape and see the full tracklist below.

Thanks for being Cools.

Berlin Minimal House VI - Stop Club Mix

A year on from Aura Safari and Jimi Tenor's Sensory Blending and DJs and dancers are still lost in its summer charms, but there have also been a series of standout remixes taken from the originals, which now get assembled on one vital 12": Sensory Re- Blending features Willie Graff, Reverso 68, Jazz N Palms and Luminodisco.

First up is Ibiza favourite Willie Graff, who tackles the spellbinding original 'Bewitched By The Sea'. He brings a signature Balearic beat perfect for cruising around the island as the sun blazes with its dubby, swaying drums and more prominent vocal, all brought to life with delicate percussion and gentle synth pulses. Label regular Federico Costantini aka Luminodisco also returns with a mature post-Balearic touch that douses the track in an ocean of dubby echo. Gorgeous Spanish guitars and jumbled percussion form a life raft which floats out to sea under the sultry wind motifs.

Reverso 68 is the studio-based project of Pete Herbert and Phil Mison, and over the last decade-plus, they have mastered the art of making music for swimming pools. Their version of 'Your Magic Touch' is low-slung and deep with a mid-tempo four-four groove sprinkled with tropical percussion. The muted chords are gloriously dreamy and the whole thing is perfect for early evening warm-ups.

Jazz N Palms is Hell Yeah family and is currently riding a wave of acclaim for his See Rodes (Revisades) album on his own Jazz N Palms Recordings. He flips 'Lunar Wind' into poolside perfection with heart-melting sax notes and rippling keys, soothing female tones and dubby breaks. It's a perfect soundtrack to heavenly ascent.

These remixes perfectly extend the soul-soothing pleasures of Sensory Blending with plenty of fresh but sympathetic perspective.

Nicky Siano - 9th March 2019

Floored to have Ben Spalding providing our first guest mix on SuperHiFi Radio. This one is journey packed full of groove and several unreleased PuzzleProjectsMusic tracks as well. Stayed tuned for updates on his 2021 tour :)

@BenSpaldingOfficial is a highly creative DJ, Producer, Record Label Owner and the man behind PuzzleProjectsGroup - which includes @PuzzleProjectsMusic, @PuzzledParties and several other highly progressive underground brands.

A Londoner now based in Oslo, Norway, Ben has managed & performed at music events in 35 countries over the last decade including Coachella Festival in California. 

Musically, Ben grew up on a diet of motown, soul and disco from his Mum and classical music via his Dad, while in his teenage years he discovered the raw power of hip hop and drum’n’bass. His 20s were then a riot of disco, house and techno. All of these flavours coalesce into his current output and the eclectic sounds that emerge from his record abel @PuzzleProjectsMusic.

2019 proved to be a huge year for Ben as bookings for him as a solo act and @PuzzledParties shows took him on a 19-country world tour in nine months, playing sell-out shows across Europe, Asia & Australia.

While his 2020 touring schedule has been put on hold due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Plans are in place for the summer and winter of 2021, which will see him go on a USA, Mexico & Canada tour followed by a debut tour in South America and return tour of Asia and many more locations to be confirmed.

2021 sees Ben release multiple high energy, peak-time orientated house and techno music with renowned Berlin-based musician & co-producer @RonaldChristoph - kicking off with ‘The Ego Death’ EP in April 2021.
