DukeyMan - I Dream Of Monsters (Kaval Edit)

For those of you who have been following the Délices du midi project since its inception, my passion for logos and characters will not seem insignificant.
I'm particularly fond of logos from the 80s, 90s and even the early 2000s. The logos of dancehall labels are particularly incredible, so I've put together a selection of some of my favourite logos and tracks.
1 h of anthems beat-matched as possible (over 16 bars) + dancehall FX special (air-horn,lasers,wheelz)

Given the number of logos in existence, a vol.2 mixtape is highly envisaged.

ps: fans of long, meticulous transitions refrain!

Kaval - Ghost Party

When I started buying my first UK Funky records, I was immediately hooked on this syncopated style with its aggressive, swaying snares. The first record was bought and found by chance in a “grime” bin in Paris during a trip with friends. It was Emvee's “Groove EP”. I already had some affinity with bass music, but I didn't yet know anything about the genre. 

There was a very danceable, enthusiastic side to most of the tracks, with lots of vocals and euphoric elements. But on the other hand, there was a much more worrying atmosphere and more minimalist rhythms on some tracks. Sometimes very Uk funky and sometimes close to grime, Uk techno, dubstep or even hard drum. It's this side that I wanted to revive when recording this mixtape with selected tracks released between 2008 and 2024. Some are big classics, others a little less well known...

So I asked Loofi to create a visual representing dark funky with a cartoonish edge and a Halloween theme, since October had arrived and autumn was starting to show its face.

To accompany the mix, I added a whole host of samples from video games, including : Luigi's Mansion, Silent Hill 2, Medievil but also other samples from my personal database.

Dark Funky Revivals Mix

The Délices de Minuit series doesn't stop there. This time, is the Tokyo-based DJ and producer WRACK who joins the team of fadas.

We'll take you straight to the high altitudes with these 2 dizzying tracks (original + remix).

WRACK - Dizziness (Kaval Weird Birds Remix)

Is anyone in France keyed into the sound of UK funky as sharply as Kaval? Sneaker sets out a strong case with this four-tracker of cool and deadly shufflers which take that insistent groove and give it a different lick.

Kaval has got plenty going on in Toulouse, where he’s riding the online airwaves with the Egregore Collective and got his name all over the Riddim Supplies series 12”s. Those with their sticky fingers on all the best bits of wax the past few years might have stumbled across those records in the racks. Elsewhere, he’s also locked in with the Ruff Club crew who are bringing the DIY free party vibe to Toulouse under railway lines, in abandoned buildings and anywhere they can sneak a genny, a system, some lights and a vibe. All this is to say Kaval is the real deal, doing things the proper way, and it shows in his tunes.

The cuts on this record are absolutely built for the dance, functional like a DJ record should be but not at the expense of the flair. ‘Combo II’ has fun slipping snatches of MCs around utopian synth licks, while ‘Pistolaser’ is spilling over with crafty micro edits and snappy samples that bring the limber groove to life. The crooked beat and rounded square wave bass is a given, and Kaval wields the rhythm section with poise, but it’s the playful energy he brings to the top end which really lifts his gear. It’s no wonder his tracks have been bumped by the likes of Nick Léon, perfectly bridging the gap from funky into the deft Latin-tinged zones explored by the Miami heavyweight.

It’s records like this that prove exploration of UK funky, like so many club genres, has so much more to give to the dance.

[Reshape] KAVAL (excerpt) @ essaim, Paris / 03may2025

Originally from Toulouse and a member of the Egregore collective, Kaval is known for his raw, percussive productions. His sound is rooted in the French bass scenes, with a focus on rhythm-heavy tracks that hit with intent.

A regular presence in Toulouse’s underground, Kaval has steadily released music through labels like Délices Du Midi and holds a residency at Ruff Club Tlse. His sets—often spanning tempos from 90 to 150 BPM—lean into system-ready blends that balance surprise and energy.

He’s also hosted the Lost Drums Show on Egregore Radio and contributed a guest mix on Rinse FM, with support from names like Pearson Sound, Skream, and DJ Python.

We’re genuinely happy to have him on Cellar Door—since first discovering his music on Bandcamp and catching his Rinse show, his tracks have been a steady fixture in our wishlist.

It's certainly one of my best recorded mixes. There were no imperatives, no obligations, no need to do this one. Just two afternoons, one to dig and one to record.

This mix transcribes my influences and my musical universe with enthusiasm. With lots of new tracks this time. 125 to 140 bpm.

Thanks to everyone who sent me their music. Uk Funky, Percussive club, Dub, Techno, Hardgroove & UK Garage.

I promise you it was a fashionable haircut in the 90's.
