Sweet mix, is it possible for an ID on this please?

Interstellar Funk

The Netherlands has no shortage of celebrated DJs and producers, but now it is time to shine a light on one that is deserving of a much wider audience. Amsterdam’s Interstellar Funk is a young record hound and talented producer who loves real melody in his music. He releases on (and works at) Rush Hour and has put his textured sounds out on his own Tape Records label - it ranges from slow and absorbing to more urgent and physical, and his DJ sets are just as brave and far reaching. 

As a former Trouw resident, Interstellar Funk reaches far and wide for the records that make up his DJ sets. This tight one hour selection proves that as it transitions through cosmic melodic jams to corrugated electro and deep acid house. It makes for a mix that operates in a rich synth galaxy full of space dust and retro-future nostalgia. So, enjoy his absorbing mix and then get ready for his debut track on the Dekmantel label, a contribution to the Patta x Dekmantel compilation.

Storm has always been one of the most influential DJs within Drum & Bass, known for tight mixing skills and an exclusive selection. Affectionately dubbed the ‘First Lady of Drum & Bass,’ she represents Metalheadz at their residencies, label nights and tours as well as countless solo gigs. Having been involved from the very start of the label alongside her great friend and DJ partner Kemistry, Storm’s contribution has been critical in helping build the reputation Metalheadz has today. She has toured the world over and continues to enthral crowds with her powerful and professional style, and is also revered and embraced outside of the D&B community, performing at such events as Houghton Festival, Dekmantel, and Ben UFO’s XOYO residency.

South Africa's DJ Lag is to gqom what Frankie Knuckles is to house. An early pioneer of the raw, minimal and bass-heavy electronic style since the 2010s, he has gone on to popularise it around the world with a wealth of solo EPs and high-profile collabs. Last year, he dropped his second album, The Rebellion, which ushered in a new era that embraced Afro tech, amapiano, drill and hip-hop, all having previously worked with the likes of Beyoncé and Tyla.

He played Dekmantel Festival back in 2022 and now makes an overdue entry into our mix series with a widescreen showcase of his musical world, including some unreleased tracks from himself. It's Afro-centric but roams from silky smooth and deep jams to crisp metallic steppers via warped dub, always with an empowering energy that makes you puff your chest and put your best foot forward.

Interstellar Funk at Dekmantel Selectors 2017

This recording is from a very special evening where we celebrated Ace & Tate’s 5th birthday from the basement of Red Light Radio’s new store. A 5 hour listening session took place in which we asked 5 artists to select records for an hour each. The setting was extremely personal – guests sat cross-legged just a few feet away from the DJs and listened to the session through Red Light Radio’s fantastic Klipschorn speakers. What they got to experience was truly magical. 

Do sit back and enjoy these uniquely special trips into some weird and wonderful realms of music we’re not always given the chance to explore. 

We hope you enjoy these as much as we do. 

Thank you to all the artists, and to Red Light Radio for having us in their lovely new home.

To kick things off, the Amsterdam-based Interstellar Funk takes us through a series of cuts that are hard to place – at times cosmic and wave sounding, there’s a distinct industrial feel to his set. We get to hear hypnotic minimal synth ventures, tribal drums, disembodied guitars and haunting vocals. It’s a listen that is at times tense, but totally enthralling.
