Funky House Grooves 🦞 French House - Part 1

Te Puke Thunder is one of New Zealand’s oldest and most sought after cannabis strains. 

Hailing from the volcanic regions of New Zealand, Te Puke Thunder is prized for its larger buds and higher potency. Gaining popularity in the 70s, the polyploid plant succeeded in becoming a well renowned strain and was notably displayed in a number of Amsterdam coffee shops.

New Zealand authorities believe they have successfully wiped out the majority, if not all, possible trails for the whereabouts of the venerable strain. Some believe there may not be a single seed left with the unmatched genetics of the original Te Puke Thunder strain. 

If any old timers are still growing it, please contact idwtrecordings@gmail.com - we would love to talk.

For now, the hunt for the elusive strain lives on…

My second track is finally completed! Still using sounds straight out of MPC 2 before I dive into sampling over tracks. This time, I avoided using vocals to see if I can keep things interesting without leaning on a voice. I LOVE vocals in a track so this was a challenge for sure but I think it worked out well!

Who better to kick off the inaugural release of SOBO [Sounds Of Beaubien Ouest] than Patrick Holland, best known as Project Pablo. Affiliated with the Canadian Riviera's 1080p troupe, as well as Seb Wildblood's Church and Lone's Magicwire – Holland now adds Beaubien Dream as the fourth instalment to his 12" series. The Beaubien connection comes from Montreal's Rue Beaubien, of which Holland is a resident. SOBO is headed up by fellow longstanding citizens of the Beaubien Ouest hood, Arbutus Records and their extended family – of which Holland is an instrumental part.

An initial teaser of the EP's opening "Closer" was aired publicly during Holland's BR London set back in October, as well as his NTS appearance with Lone and Gabriola earlier this year. Now, after a patient seven-month wait, we can finally wrap our mitts around it in its entirety. Alongside its two subsequent components, the track acts as a homage to Holland's home. With its distinctive Dx7 melodies, jingly percussion provided by bells (of the cow variety amongst others) and an insatiable groove growing lazily throughout – "Closer" is instantaneous happiness.

Catch Beaubien Dream in full on 3rd June via SOBO.

The tone is set from the off with the eponymously named first track of the release 'An Ode To Midnight'. The tracks mellow break beat feel is met by warm rushing pads, ebbing and flowing between textures of the night before last.

The newly found record label Midnight Snacks combines the passion for electronic dance music and the rapture to transcend genre boundaries. In addition to serving musical bites, the Berlin snack crew has a high aesthetic and visual aspiration – and realizes its artistic visions in collaboration with illustrator Hans Berger.

With the announcement of "Movin’", the German-Jamaican producer and soul singer Tender Games ignites his new wave of releases. Even though this might sound a little corny and not that sexy: "Movin’" is a goddamn summer anthem! Tender Games alias Ulrich Harrison demonstrates nothing less than a symbiosis of funky grooves, silky rhodes and a lot of disco feeling. The title says it all: This tune makes you shake a leg! With its smooth breakdown and vibrant bassline, this track would surely also be to the liking of acts like Thundercat, Toro Y Moi, Late-70s-Herbie-Hancock or even Curtis Mayfield.

The main course comes along with spiced up side dishes by Black Loops and Marlon Hoffstadt. The Italian Deep House darling Riccardo alias Black Loops seasoned his remix with some laid back and cheerful summery breaks. This deep and soulful version gets you in the mood for this year’s open-air season.

Berlin’s nightlife connoisseur Marlon Hoffstadt takes you back to the 90s and rounds up the EP with a pumping but yet smooth and dreamy "Eurodancer Mix". A seven and a half minutes long ride which keeps you, of course: movin’.

Space Ghost returns with hedonistic house anthems for your living room dance floor on his latest EP, Time To Dance.


After a string of successful albums on Apron and Tartelet Records, the Oakland native Sudi Wachspress (Space Ghost) returns with a selection of golden-era house anthems conveying the message of unity through dance – a much-needed reminder of better days.

The 28 year-old producer and DJ has been gaining momentum over the last few years. His growing catalogue of ambient-leaning house with lush musical textures is a testament to carry on the legacy of famed US house producers, who have set the tone and pioneered electronic dance music since the 1980s.

On his new EP, Time To Dance, Space Ghost gets on the mic and takes us back to the early days of house music, effortlessly mixing the deep bass rhythms of Chicago with the Nu Groove-era of the East Coast. 

“This release was mostly inspired by some early East Coast house. I started the idea before Covid-19 really took over the world. I wanted to make something explicitly for the dance floor, kind of like my own dance floor anthem.”

The EP’s main cuts “Time To Dance” and “New World Energy” both come in two versions – a main version and an alternative mix for maximum dance floor pleasure. As the artist’s vocals echo on the track: It’s time to come together and work for a better future for all.

“Now with everything going on with the coronavirus and all the protests in the US and across the world, I think my goals have shifted. Even though the world is on pause and people can’t spin these tracks at a club, I still think the message of Time To Dance is: We can work together and music can help us through it.” 

Time To Dance is out on vinyl and all digital platforms on August 7, 2020.
