Title: Slam Dunk E.P
Cat.#: DFR009
Format: 12''

After a very short break Daje Funk are back with a super fresh redesign. The label is also fully embracing the move from their previous 10” format to 12” with the obvious bonus that they are now able to cram just that little bit of extra music onto their releases.

Their latest release, the Slam Dunk EP, is their 9th since the label arrived and it’s been a memorable journey so far. Keeping things decidedly funk with a modern dancefloor twist for their latest instalment they have assembled and all-star cast of producers with Dutch edits wizard, Ronny Hammond, England’s Shit Hot Soundsystem and Uptown Funk and Italian producer Coldbeard all taking turns to vie for dancefloor gold.

Together they have turned in one mighty slab of black wax.

The EP opens with Ronny Hammond’s ‘Keep On Groovin’ and it’s a very serious club track. For those of you with long memories and deep collections the original used here was sampled for Screen II’s Hey Mr DJ, a 90’s house classic on Cleveland City and it feels just as essential right now in 2021 as it did in both the 70’s when the original arrived and in the 90’s. Keep On Groovin’ is a proper funk bomb and Ronny has taken it to town with the addition of a powerhouse bassline, ass shakin’ drums and cheeky ear worm vocal samples. Indeed there is no chance that you will be able to sit still when this one drops. Expect it to cause serious dancefloor mischief over the coming summer months.

Shit Hot Soundsystem is up next with ‘Woah’ with label co-boss De Gama adding some extra scalpel action. Another track with classic subject matter, this often sampled track has rarely sounded as good as on this monstrous funky outing. It still sounds as fresh and exciting as the first time you heard those vibrant and vital synths and beautifully layered vocals. ‘Woah’ is both immediate and essential and will be soundtracking parties for years to come.

Over on the flip Uptown Funk’s ‘South Side Boogie’ also has De Gama on edit duty and here things head off downtown 70’s funk style. Brass stabs, wah guitar, and spicy synth licks all combine for a track which has plenty of joyous zest as it combines disco edges with a funk packed groove combing to deliver serious club heat.

Seeing the EP out is Coldbeard and he takes up deeper still with a bubbling groove which captivates from the first notes of the dynamo synth bass before adding in electric guitar licks and a rhythm line to die for. A Funky Situation is a perfect example of how to build a track piece by piece until it becomes utterly essential. Once you have heard that Rhodes and the vocal stabs working together you just know that this one will need to be played religiously.

Four utterly essential tracks which perfectly bridge the gap from the 70’s to 2021. Nine releases deep Daje Funk delivers yet again on its mission to make funk as utterly essential in clubs again nearly 4 decades after it’s glorious genres beginnings.

On the imprint's latest release, Mister Bear is delighted to welcome the iconic Vick Lavender into the mix, who conjures up his much celebrated take on house music with the aim of providing soundtracks for those special moments in life…

Lavender has been a mainstay in the house scene since the 1990s, and his signature take on the genre has seen him continue to grow and morph with each release. His sound is one permeated by soulful and rhythmic masterclasses, encompassing the most delicate of melodic-laden sequences alongside euphoric, rolling drums that elevate any dance floor. His discography is testament to that, either via releases under his own name or as part of the groundbreaking live house band Mr A.L.I, which helped to form the nucleus and ethos of his Sophisticado Recordings imprint, which has been going from strength to strength since its first release back in 2006.

Lavender is one of those producers who holds his sound in the palms of his hands, and is able to dictate its flow and energy through his deep set passions and musical dexterity. It is this approach which has meant his journey continues to flourish and inspire with each step he takes, with space always provided for the listener to step in and take a deep, refreshing breath. He is very much a DJ and producer in demand, touring the world sharing his soulful take on house and via the release of some exceptional EPs in recent years, on labels including Forbidden Dance, Mate, Silver Room, ANMA and Sophisticado.

Vick Lavender has always sought to demonstrate the human side of his music, with the rhythms of life and experiences found at the core of his bountiful, captivating sound. ‘Essance’ remains true to form for this icon of the house genre, and bears so many of the hallmarks which make his music so special. Extended compositions allow for maximum engagement but also time for inventiveness and intrigue; hyper melodic chords paired with thoughtful key solos; and of course, some excellent vocal displays from Angel A, all come together to provide a house experience of such quality. Well, it is Vick Lavender after all, its what we have come to expect - but still, he always finds ways to give us more. One to press play on, and drift off into bliss….

01. Voyage (Rayko re-edit)

YOU YOU YOU
Immerse yourself in a whirl of dark synth pads, glitch textures, and a beat that throbs like a possessed heartbeat. This track in D minor is a journey through the digital labyrinth of unrequited love—a mind movie from which there's no escape.

(Tauch ein in einen Strudel aus dunklen Synth-Flächen, Glitch-Texturen und einem Beat, der wie ein besessener Herzschlag pocht. Dieser Track in D-Moll ist eine Reise durch das digitale Labyrinth einer unerwiderten Liebe – ein "Kopfkino", aus dem es kein Entkommen gibt.)

Bist du bereit für den Glitch, der dein System sprengt?
[Verse 1]
Every vibe that I feel, every post that I see
Somehow it always leads me right back to your page
Every song on my playlist is screaming your name
Trapped inside your feed, and I can't escape the game

[Pre-Chorus]
My heartbeat syncs up with the beat, the moment you're online
I completely lose control, my world just turns to monochrome

[Chorus]
You're the main character in the movie in my mind
Without you, everything is muted, left on zero, left behind
You're the glitch that makes my entire system crash
The only thought I'm thinking, in an endless, burning flash

[Post-Chorus / Drop]
(Synth-Hook)
It's always 
you, 
you, 
you
My brain shuts 
down, 
down, 
down
It's always 
you, 
you, 
you

My only loop is you!

[Verse 2]
Every move that I make is like a side-quest to you
Every story that I post is a hook to get you through
Everything I do, it only has one single goal
To be the highscore at the end, and take control

[Pre-Chorus]
My heartbeat syncs up with the beat, the moment you're online
I completely lose control, my world just turns to monochrome

[Chorus]
You're the main character in the movie in my mind
Without you, everything is muted, left on zero, left behind
You're the glitch that makes my entire system crash
The only thought I'm thinking, in an endless, burning flash

[Post-Chorus / Drop]
(Synth-Hook)
It's always 
you, 
you, 
you
My brain shuts 
down, 
down, 
down
It's always 
you, 
you, 
you
My only loop is you!

[Bridge]
And if this whole thing ends with just a "Game Over" screen
And I'm just another contact that you've barely seen
Then all this pain that's burning me so deep inside
Is proof I need you, there is nothing left to hide

[Chorus]
You're the main character in the movie in my mind
Without you, everything is muted, left on zero, left behind
You're the glitch that makes my entire system crash
The only thought I'm thinking, in an endless, burning flash

[Outro]
(Beat fades out slowly with synth hook)
My only loop is you...
You,
 you, 
you...

Always just you.



YOU YOU YOU

Phenomenal Handclap Band is back on Toy Tonics with remixes by Superpitcher & Ray Mang! The New York indie disco crew delivers their third song to the Berlin dancefloor label. Their last 2 Toy Tonics singles, "Judge Not" and "Jail", have already made big waves with heavy rotations in the sets of people like DJ Harvey, Artwork, Gilles Peterson, Keinemusik and many others. Now they are back with another surefire smash: "Remain Silent".
The Phenomenal Handclap Band from New York has been known for a couple of funk-driven releases before, but also for supporting or collaborating with such giants as Bryan Ferry, Marcos Valle and Nile Rodgers & Chic.
The band, based around multi instrumentalist and producer Daniel Collás, is releasing their new single in advance of a new album on Toy Tonics in 2020. This is just a warm up!

* Pre-order: https://wherewerewe.bandcamp.com/album/plastik-tanzen-ep-remix-pack-wwwep002

Here comes the remix package for Lowe Aka User’s Plastik Tanzen EP which came out at the beginning of this summer on Vilnius’ freshly baked label Where Were We? Sadly, stems and original project of “Nepalese Honey” track has burned down together with Lowe Aka User’s hard drive, so remixes are coming only for “Palms Boulevard” and “Tanz Botanik” tracks.

The first three versions of “Palms Boulevard” were made from already well-known and established names in Italo field: Scotsman, always on point Donald Dust, Italian, Amsterdam-based and super-prolific Daniel Monaco and back to France from Hong Kong, proper edits master Romain FX.

Guys took rather different approaches for making their versions and all of them put their own spin on the OG. We hope that each and everyone of you will fall in love with one version or the other or maybe with all three of them, just as we did. The last version of “Tanz Botanik” comes from a local hero, Lithuanian talent and also known Italo lover Jonas aka Black Feeling. Although this version is the most housey from the whole package, we think that it compliments the entire pack very nicely.

Euphoric italo house at it’s best!

PREMIERE: Lowe Aka User - Palms Boulevard (Daniel Monaco's Industrial Tropics Re - Vision)

RADIO ELECTRONICA was one of the first independent radio programmes to go on air in Jena in 1999. The background was to bring colour into the dreary Thuringian radio programme and to create a platform where regional and national artists from the electronic music scene could present themselves and exchange ideas. RADIO ELECTRONICA claims to be always on the trail of new influences, trends and artists in the field of electronic music.

The show quickly developed from the first pre-productions to a live broadcast, which can be heard every four weeks on Saturdays from 7pm to midnight on the open channel Jena on UKW 103.4 Mhz and via online stream (https://radio-okj.de/wp-content/themes/radiookj/okj-player.html).

With a steadily growing fan base, RADIO ELECTRONICA is still a firm institution in the field of electronic music in Jena and beyond the city limits. Besides the latest scene trends and record presentations, studio guests are a big part of the show.
