Since 2014, Brighter Days has been a part of the rich tapestry of Amsterdam nightlife – a semi-regular party promoting positivity and inclusiveness run by resident DJs Kamma and Masalo. On the back of the platform provided by the party, the duo has notched up a string of memorable club and festival appearances, a regular Brighter Days show on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM, and a memorable Boiler Room set streamed live from Dekmantel Festival.

Now Kamma and Masalo have taken the next step and curated a Brighter Days compilation for Rush Hour, a collection that does a terrific job in offering up slept-on and unreleased gems – including a clutch of their own tried-and-tested re-edits – while also accurately representing the sound, style and ethos of the event that inspired it.

Like Kamma and Masalo’s event, which invariably takes place in intimate dancing spaces in Amsterdam, the Brighter Days compilation offers up an open-minded, club-friendly soundtrack that joins the dots between crate-digging obscurities from the recent and distant past, fresh cuts, ‘secret weapons’ and previously unreleased music from young, local producers who have become regular faces on Brighter Days dancefloors.

Across nine tracks, Kamma and Masalo deliver an enticing blend of tactile and colourful house, disco, basement-ready throb-jobs, inspired dancefloor dubs and righteous boogie jams, some of which are appearing on vinyl for the very first time (see Haroumi Hosono and Yasuhiko’s ‘Turquois’, an exceedingly rare, CD-only chunk of deep, throbbing tribal house intoxication).

There are highlights everywhere you look, from the piano-house rush of the ‘Subterranean Mix Edit’ of S’Xpress’s overlooked 1990 single ‘Nothing To Lose’ and the South African Kwaito-boogie brilliance of Cisco The Champ’s ‘Move On’, to the Italo-disco excellence of Hugh Bullen’s ‘Alisand’, and Mr Fingers’ jacking 1988 remix of ‘We’re Gonna Work It Out’ by fellow Chicagoan house producers North/Clybourn.

Kamma and Masalo’s remixing and re-editing skills are put in the spotlight, too. There’s the edit of Discotheque’s 1982 Dutch-Belgian disco classic ‘For Your Love’ and a previously unreleased ‘dub’ edit of French-Cameroonian artist Anyzette’s 1984 gem ‘Baladoun’, a low-slung slice of drum machine-rich body music that blurs the boundaries between Italo-disco, Afro-boogie and proto-techno.

Completing the package are two cuts that demonstrate the duo’s love of showcasing tracks by young and little-known Dutch producers. Peffa’s ‘Routine’, an immersive and emotive treat that blends elements of deep house and Detroit techno, is just one of numerous unreleased tracks by the producer that Kamma and Masalo has been showcasing in their sets in recent years, while Desmon – whose ‘Submerge’ is a woozy, off-beat deep house treat – has been a regular on Brighter Days dancefloors since the start. It’s a fitting nod to what makes Brighter days special: a close-knit community of dancers and inspired, lesser-known music old and new.

Brooklyn-based artist CISUMMI and singer/Kologo maestro Stevo Atambire,
joined by Sparrow & Barbossa on remix duties, deliver Afro House anthems
that pulse with infectious energy and beckon a profound connection to
the present moment. Anchored by Atambire's evocative Frafra poetry,
"DIKEBO" champions the surrender and liberation of the mind through the
mesmerizing force of music. The two-track journey begins with Sparrow &
Barbossa's reinterpretation, showcasing the duo’s acclaimed ability to
seamlessly blend organic and electronic sounds. Their remix, enriched
with Latin and Afro influences and deep electronica, serves as a
rhythmic catalyst that transcends cultural and temporal boundaries.

Harmonizing Atambire's soulful rasp with sultry strings, poignant
chords, and finespun electronic nuances, the original emerges as a sonic
escape. Reflecting a flawless synergy of CISUMMI and Atambire's roots
and craft, "DIKEBO" extends a compelling invitation to shed inhibitions
and revel in the euphoria of the here and now. This masterpiece is
poised to ignite dancefloors and unite individuals through the cathartic
art of dance—ever present and ever alive.

Joe Cleen is back on SBEDITZ after his first outing smashed dancefloors worldwide. Dare we say this EP is even better than the first?! So get ready for another set of Disco bombs that blur the lines between edits and full blown reworks.

‘Time For Love’ rolls in where the last EP left off. Thumping drums over motor city soul samples and a huge disco soul breakdown that combine to level any dancefloor. 

‘Day In Day Out’ steps up with a hefty House bassline like it’s time to jack, but Joe cleverly switches the direction with gigantic filtered Rhodes licks swinging in. Throw in some serious slap bass, organs & powerful piano chords and it’s another signature JC disco funk jam.

‘So Long’ is a looped up disco stomper with Joe hitting the keys as hard as possible. Chopping in all forms of piano, splicing in big intergalactic sweeps and disco vocals that will take you on a trip to the outer reaches of the cosmos. 

‘Do My Thing’ ties up the EP with lashings of piano, organ and clav that all dance away over a toughened bassline. Sprinkle liberally with funk sampled vocals, layers of percussion and you’ve got an all night long burner on your hands.

Since 1997 Rush Hour has cultivated itself into a haven for music lovers worldwide. The reputation Rush Hour has built mainly comes from the fact that first and foremost Rush Hour focuses on music they totally believe in and have a love for. The Rush Hour family has a strong sense of pride in always working with and feeding off that impulse and faith, rather than working for the mighty dollar or bottom line. Rush Hour has always been this way.
