THE MOLE is back on Slices Of Life with 3 new tracks and 3 different views on the house music of these days.

Two years after "Hang In There Fry Guy" (SOL4) Colin de la Plante continues his collaboration with Slices Of Life. The Canadian producer and DJ is very well-known for his love for a wide range of music, which is reflected in his inspiring DJ and live sets. Though his favour for soulful music always shines through in all his productions, it is most evident in the edits of his "7 Inches of Love" series as well as in the trippy excursions on his own imprint "Maybe Tomorrow".

Accordingly, the 3 new tracks for Slices Of Life offers an exciting insight into various musical worlds of Colin de la Plante. "Inhuman" surprises with a higher bpm rate than you might expect from The Mole, but the 8-minute track breathes a warm and humorous funk and at the same time twinkles mischievous from the dancefloor. Almost in contradiction to the A side, "Another One of Those Nights" offers a deep and almost melancholic view on the night and its various side effects. And finally, "Hot Tea Dog Man" links perfectly to "Now I Understand" from SOL4: A hypnotic beat that concentrates on the essentials and a few well set elements that carry the track wonderfully and endlessly.

But experience the words of the master himself:
"I did hear recently that there were 12 million pigs in Holland, compared to 17 million humans ..   That's a lot of pigs... and pig meat is in everything... like some wines ... in the production of wine, gelatine can be used as a clarifying agent. The gelatine reacts with the tannins and bitter substances and absorbs cloudy elements that can then be separated from the drink... but pigs didn't really have much to do with this record... "

TPONGLE AT STUDIO51 (LIVE REC. MAY 2025)

Being French-born, but now based in Ecuador, it would seem that Nicola Cruz has the perfect mix of influences on his sound. Fair enough, he did move to Ecuador when he was only three, but as a result of the many musical mixes he has been exposed to in his early life, he has a truly unique sound of his own. Nicola has an unwavering thirst for grooves of all shapes and sizes, and these can be easily noted via his many releases for the likes of fabric, Rhythm Section, Multi Culti, and his stunning downtempo longplayer for Nous’klaer Audio.

024: Vince Void

Having hosted us back in June when we rolled into Hanoi with Brasi, we needed to know more about this meticulous selector. Established himself as resident DJ at the cities Savage club, Zwi is the driving force at one of regions finest beat emporiums and has warmed up for a wide spectrum of artists that have recently included Mr. Ho, Loa Szala, nd_baumecker, Phase Fatale, Vithz, and Lamalice. As well as his continued work with Savage, Zwi also runs his own project METRØ which celebrated turning the ripe old age of six back in May. 

This diverse musical palette has led the Hanoi based Zwi to become a go to artist in the region and has massively informed his all encompassing sound. This is perfectly exhibited on his InSession for us where he moves from moody broken after hour beats through to deeper shades of house, and then through to more upfront cuts but always keeping that groove and funk strong throughout. Zwi proves that even in the far reaches of the underground there are fantastic artists and undiscovered musical gems to be found.

GIAMMARCO ORSINI b2b MARCOLINO - GOAULTRABEAT curated by Francesco Del Garda | 19.06 H. Butterfly

Co-curator of pivotal imprint Klasse Wrecks, Mr. Ho has had an immeasurable impact on the bass and bleep end of the house and techno spectrum. Hailing from Hong Kong, there are few areas of this community that both Mr. Ho and his Klasse Wrecks imprint have not influenced. Having forged an enviable discography, the HK native has touched down on labels such as DJ Masda’s Cabaret Recordings, ESP Institute, Modern Funktion, Altered Circuits, Love International's new Floor Series, and of course, a regular slew of additions to his own imprint.

Modus Operandi - Live at Butik Festival 2025

Berlin based record label, founded by Barbara Preisinger:
Every minute we are listening to music we are sharing a few specific moments of the musician´s life.
Our most beloved pieces of music are usually more than just the sum of beats, chords and notes: they also reflect on a period in the life of its producer. In addition to the musical experience each work also contains current life situations, memories and future expectations, some included intentionally, some unconsciously. 

Somehow it doesn't seem appropriate to put these SLICES OF LIFE only onto a hard drive amongst hundreds and thousands of imageless files, fearing that the next crash will delete and destroy everything. This is why instead of watching a list of track titles on a screen there are still so many music lovers who prefer to hold the result of all these hours of work and musical commitment in their hands as timeless documents printed onto vinyl. 

Therefore  Slices Of Life is featuring vinyl as preferred media for deep, warm sounding, funky and diverse club music.
