Music From Memory / April Mix

Back in 2010 James Pants proved to us yet again that he was (and still is) the Mix-Tape Master. As usual the selection was deeeeep + we hardly knew any of the tracks back then - many have since come to light and been repressed on various re-issue labels so you'll def recognize a few. So impressed were we that our store pressed up a limited CD edition for giveaway. Now here it is to stream!

We consider it a total classic.  Friday afternoon biz for sure.... enjoy!

Boy Q - In the store mix

Sadar Bahar's dreams are captured in grooves. After years and years of digging deep for records, the Chicagoan built a collection that's too big to fit in his house. Although he has collected more records than he could possibly play, his search doesn't stop, and drops by our store from time to time to see dig the racks.

Bahar got into the music scene in the early '80s, with childhood friend, Charles Brekenridge, who introduced him to the mixing game and taught him how to blend records. Later, Frankie Knuckles showed him the magic of the dance floor. During this time, Chicago was filled with DJ’s who played house and disco sounds. However, Sadar chose a different direction - playing rare & hard-to-find grooves. It is an honor to present this mix, that features a selection picks found in the RH store racks on the day.

Recorded in advance of the instore session at Rush Hour, Fall 2015. Limited edition of 50 pieces. 

Ben UFO & Pearson Sound - Rush Hour Tape 15 Oct 2015

"We couldn't get this in Chicago when it was out! Can you believe that!" Jamie 3:26 pulls out Fingers Inc.'s iconic "Another Side" album. "It was a European release!" From the moment Jamie starts digging the store, he shares inside stories about the records he finds.

Jamie 3:26 is an underground Chicago house music soldier, who has been around since day one. With a big heart for his home town, he is still around to make a party. No surprise that he delights us with a mix full of Windy City Winners... and much more.

Store Mix 008 | Jamie 3:26 Digs Rush Hour

Just before the closure of or good ol’ store, we were honored to receive Shanti Celeste for a mix. The young Chile born, Bristol based artist brought a few friends and they went for a proper dig. It was her first visit to our store and she ran into a lot of stuff she wanted for a while. Wonderful! 

Shanti Celeste is a core member of Bristol’s Idle hands crew, placed firmly at the epicentre of Bristol's currently buoyant house music scene. From her work as a producer, DJ, vocalist, label-owner and promoter, she has already proved her salt as a multi-talented artist over a short period of time. Something we definitely taste from this mix!

Store Mix 009 | Shanti Celeste Digs Rush Hour

Sought after boogie tunes from Japan now reissued in limited 12inch format.  
Order: http://bit.ly/MinakoYoshidaJPN4

This 12" is next in Rush Hour store's Japan series.

Minako Yoshida - Midnight Driver / Town (RH-STORE JPN 4)

It's aways a blast to have Quentin Vandewalle, better known as Zaltan, over in Amsterdam. Even better to catch up with him in Paris, where he introduces the best affordable gastronomic places in town. So, naturally, we don't dare to buy him wine for his in-store. We actually hope he has brought his own... No such thing. Blast again.

The Antinote main man started his curious imprint only a few years ago, to push the music of his friends. Friends who he mainly met at Le Baron Rouge, a colorful bar in his home town. A courageous move, which wasn't bound to fail thanks to Zaltan's refined taste. Antinote became a favorite of many, and RA's label of the month. For this mix, Zaltan the DJ selected a few summery favorites, which discloses the fact that he recorded the mix a few weeks ago, during Amsterdam's long lasting Indian summer...

Store Mix 013 | Zaltan Digs Rush Hour

One of the many Japanese guests who traveled far to join the Rainbow Disco Club x Somewhere In Amsterdam evening dance, was Kikiorix. During that evening he blessed us with two hours of Japanese rarities and much more. A beautiful set of music that we're happy to share here.

Kikiorix is Tresvibes' resident DJ. He is mainly active in Japan, but his style has been influenced due to playing out in east London in the earlier days. 

Please find more info on Rainbow Disco Club here:

Kikiorix @ Somewhere In Amsterdam x Rainbow Disco Club (Dec 2016)

"So I really don't have to bring any records?", Kai Alce asked again just before coming down to the store. The rules of the game seemed pretty unusual to him, which he enjoyed a lot. The result didn't only surprise us, but also himself. After digging the bins, he selected only a few tracks he knew. It became a nicely flowing mix, which - again - displays the rich musicality of Detroit's house music tradition. And goes beyond.

Kai Alce was born in New York City, grew up in Detroit and eventually moved to Atlanta. Although last mentioned city is not particularly famous for house music, Alce is one of Atlanta's mainstays of keeping soulful house alive in the city. As well on his NDATL imprint as on Detroit based outlets as Mahogani and FXHE, Alce has released acclaimed musical house in the past decades.

Store Mix 016 | Kai Alce Digs Rush Hour

Mr. Mendel has been a RH store customer for over a decade. He pops in for listening sessions on a regular basis, yet not for hours and hours like he did a few weeks ago. The broadly inspired DJ checked the racks in many corners before he started recording. His store mix became lengthy, featuring 26 tracks.

Growing up in Amsterdam, Mendel started out in the city’s hip-hop scene. Later, when he worked at Waxwell Records, he got further introduced to many styles of music, broadening his musical horizon from Brazilian to African music, and from disco to soul to house music. Today, Mr Mendel tours extensively through Europe and beyond and releases edits on Lumberjacks in Hell, Disco Deviance and Basic Fingers.

The infamous Denis Simachev Bar resident Lipelis out of Moscow came down to dig the bins and record a mix in the store. Lipelis was in Amsterdam for Lente Kabinet, where he joined the Red Light Radio stage for a DJ set. Beware! Mr L is a sucker for weird disco with a swirl of sleeze. However, for this mix he selected an array of sweet tracks, including a few by his friend Olefonken.

Leonid Lipelis is one of Russia's promising DJs, who is famous for his awesome Lipelis Edits in L.I.E.S's black series and much more. We heard that he dreamt of becoming Mancuso when he was little. Listening to his mixes, this story isn't as weird as it seems.

Store Mix 024 I Lipelis Digs Rush Hour

Indigo Aera took over the Rush Hour store with a stellar line-up! For the occasion of their latest release by Private Press, the label presented none other than ROD, Private Press (Live), and the label's Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff.

This is an explosive set, presented by a total don. Dutch techno and over all DJ boss ROD took over with two amazing full record bags as his ammunition ('I like to have choice'). His first time ever on a rotary mixer, with Drexciya's Harnessed The Storm in sight throughout his set.

This is the ninth recording in a series of (themed) Rush Hour in-store broadcasts, recorded on June 14th, 2018. After a live broadcast to Facebook, the music lands on Soundcloud for playback.

Like Jamie Tiller (who shared the Boiler Room with yours truly here, only a few days ago) once said: "Many roads lead back to Raphaël when it comes to great discoveries”. Raphaël Top-Secret has a simpler task today; to dig the bins in just one store - the Rush Hour store. Just one day before his set at Dekmantel, he warmed us up for the dance, playing records that the RH staff are, or should be familiar with.

Not afraid to push the boundaries of club music, as a DJ Raphaël can be heard moving effortlessly between everything, from Boogie, Downtempo, Rap, Reggae, Afro-Caribbean synth bangers, Ambient or Industrial dance to the deepest late 80’s and early 90’s House.

Store Mix 025 I Raphaël Top-Secret Digs Rush Hour

‘El Rocko, Rockateer, Rocklette, Oldschool Ride' aka Jonny Rock was in Amsterdam to play in Claire on Friday night. He didn’t mind to join us during the day, so he brought a extra bag of records (we have no CDJs in-store), including a dub plate holding one of his edits that he’d cut especially for this trip. Yes!

London based Jonny is known for his love of Middle Eastern sounds. He was at the forefront of the growing interest of Turkish music by helping to promote Mehmet Aslan among other producers, by unearthing Turkish Disco Folk and by releasing his awesome edits (for Hamam Disco under his Afacan alias for instance). Expect a track taken from Disco Hamam 4, some Human League (!) and much more party in this mix.

This is the tenth recording in a series of (themed) Rush Hour in-store broadcasts, recorded on July 27th, 2018. After a live broadcast to Facebook, the music lands on Soundcloud for playback.

In his biography: 'Chaos Magician, Sonic Homeric Poet, Child of Medusas, The Function, Circling Vultures, Smart Bar resident' RH's two additions: 'Very Precise, Boundless Selector'.  

Chicago's longtime music collector Justin Aulis Long recently played with Interstellar Funk in one of Amsterdam’s main clubbing institutions. For the occasion of being around, he dropped by at Rush Hour Store to play a selection of sounds from a wide scope of interest. Store picks only! As usual. 

The Chicagoan is a very imaginative writer also, as he wrote the poetic words for Mutant Beat Dance their 25-track debut album-booklet, that's available for purchase online and in record stores worldwide.

Store Mix 030 I Justin Aulis Long Digs Rush Hour

To have Marcellus Pittman as our guest for a RH store mix with records he has never heard before was pretty electrifying. The living legend from Detroit took the opportunity to have a proper browse in the shop and see where it would go…  

As a production artist and selector, Pittman has helped to define an integral part of the Detroit sound. When other children were playing combat with G.I. Joe action figures in the early 80’s, Detroit native Marcellus “Malik” Pittman was playing his radio at maximum volume, listening to the sounds of “the Wizzard” and the “Electrifying Mojo”, in addition to the jazz outputs of Rosetta Hines.

In 1993, Malik released his initial work of production with local Hip-Hop collective “Home Grown”. Shortly thereafter, he released “Essential Selections, Vol. 1” on the Sound Signature label, headed by Theo Parrish. In 1998, Malik forged a working relationship with Rick Wilhite, Theo Parrish and Kenny “Moodymann” Dixon, collectively known as the 3 Chairs. Pittman is currently heading his own label, Unirhythm, which will release his upcoming projects.

RADIO VERDE (COMPILED BY AMERICO BRITO AND ARP FRIQUE)
LABEL: COLORFUL WORLD
CAT NO: CW 003

Arp Frique returns with a brand new release on his imprint Colorful World Records in collaboration with Rush Hour. A compilation of 12 Cape Verdean gems assembled with the help and knowledge of Americo Brito, there is a very special story behind it. Americo Brito, who
features on Arp Frique’s original Nos Magia, is a proud and important member of the Cape Verdean community in Rotterdam. His story reveals the historical connections between radio, vinyl, Cabo Verde and Rotterdam’s international music scene in the 70s and 80s.

Cape Verdean insiders say “we export all they have to other countries, only to import it back again”. Cape Verdeans have migrated all over the world, mainly to cities with big harbours, like New York, Boston and Rotterdam (Holland). Rotterdam became one of the main destinations
(next to Portugal) on the European mainland. When Americo, like many of his friends and relatives moved to Rotterdam, he quickly became infected with the music virus. Surrounded on a daily basis by Cape Verdean music in Portuguese pensions and small hotels, this was where sailors ingested a dose of “sodade” through the interpretations of their beloved music by the local Cape Verdean artists. Americo took to the stage with his band Djarama in the 70s and 80s. The live music scene was buzzing and the Cape Verdean community had their own infrastructure for arranging shows, often in nightclubs where the band had to bring their own soundsystem. Interestingly, Americo didn’t stick to performing and recording music. He found another way to help spread the Cape Verdean magical secret of music across Rotterdam, Holland and beyond: “There was this spot in Rotterdam where all foreign radio stations were housed, all these different nationalities together, Surinam, Cape Verdean, Hindustani…Guy Ramos and some of my other friends made radio in the 80s there. I got involved in their radio activities. Later on I started to work as a technician and eventually as producer and radio DJ for “Radio Voz De Cabo Verde”. Radio became bigger and there were around 4 different Cape Verdean stations active at one point in Rotterdam. instrumental in the development of this was the attic of a Dutch friend, where “Radio Babalu” came to life. Radio has always held a special place in my heart.” Americo’s music collection stems from this era, also aided by his many travels across Europe to cities with Cape Verdean communities. Alongside Rotterdam local, Arp Frique, Americo unveils some of these songs: dancefloor hits and beloved radio gems known in the Cape Verdean scene by younger and older generations alike, and so far undiscovered by a “bigger” audience. The compilation showcases the worldly view of Cape Verdean music, incorporating knowledge from their travels in their compositions. It ranges from the obvious funana and coladeira, to the more unexpected influences of deep disco, new wave, uptempo reggae, jazz-funk and Brazilian pop music; demonstrating just the tip of the iceberg, but what an amazing t(r)ip it is!
