SlothBoogie Presents: Dancing With Friends Volume 2

Metropolitan Soul Museum - Four Dancers

Tiptoes makes a welcome return to SlothBoogie Records this November with a fresh four-track EP, entitled ‘The Akai Samurai Strikes Again’.

Glasgow’s Tiptoes has long been a respected name in the Scottish electronic music circuit, bringing his eclectic style to the table as a DJ, blending everything from jazz to jungle, house to techno, garage, broken beat and many more genres. His productions are a nod to his many influences and once again with this EP were treated to an amalgamation of sounds. The project follows on from his recent acclaimed EP on Darius Syrossian’s Moxy Music entitled ‘Cuss Tomato’.

‘Techno Woo’ leads the way and see Tiptoes embracing a filter house feel, merging a number of choppy funk licks, vocal chants, and bass lines in an ever-unfolding dynamic matter, while dusty drums carry the bouncy groove throughout. ‘Brotherman’ then tips the focus on to soul drenched guitar lines, brass melodies, snaking bass grooves and hypnotic vocal lines alongside loose, swinging percussion.

Opening the flip side is ‘Mars Landings’, embracing a deeper house aesthetic courtesy of hazy Rhodes chords,
swelling vocal loops and organic drums before ‘Strings’ rounds things out, as the name would suggest the
composition is built around expansive string melodies, gritty bass stabs and sturdy, thunderous drums.

"We've made this mixtape to showcase our journey through styles over the last decade. As everyone knows we're well known for the more soulful side of house but we're both big lovers of the more electronic side. We feel this mix perfectly mixes both together and as an added bonus we've incorperated some tracks of the Heist Classics compilation as well as a track from the new Dj Sneak EP on our label Heist recordings. Enjoy." - @damswindle

ManooZ, hailing from Mannheim/Germany, is a dedicated force in global House music. His sound seamlessly spans US House, Garage and sophisticated Deep House. With releases on labels such as Local Talk, Housewax, Hudd Traxx or Beste Freunde, ManooZ is known for his versatile and impactful productions. In 2024, he presents a bunch of upcoming EPs on vinyl, each a sonic voyage that reflects his unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and his deep connection with analog hardware. With a nod to the era-defining work of the Burrell Brothers, Ron Trent or Larry Heard, he effortlessly bridges the gap between past and present, infusing his productions with the raw energy that characterized the golden age of House music. As a DJ, ManooZ takes his vinyl sets to clubs, maintaining his ever-current knowledge of what is working on the dancefloors.

"In this mix, I wanted to spin those records that have inspired me the most in the past months and years - as a DJ plus as a producer. I wanted to create a blend of late 80s Chicago House traxx, the early 90’s era of Nu Groove Records and those mid 90s vibes from New York over to Italy. I feel it goes from a darker moodier vibe into a powerful dance-driven vibe. Now enjoy the mix and keep your eyes open - I’ve got some nu EPs comin out after all this time spending time on my gear :) Love.“

Celebrating his new release on the Label this week we've got Danvers in for a guestmix, naturally. Centred around his tracks on the EP he crafts a journey through the soundscapes and vibrations influencing the Distant Recalls EP. 

You may know him as one half of UK duo ‘Kassian’ who have previously released on SB, but here he flies solo with a mix of expertly produced electronic, acid washed breaks. Enjoy!

After nearly a decade with the SB crew... Ken is embarking on a new solo project this year and we bid him a fond farewell as he starts hammering out the grooves under a new Kenny Blacksmith moniker.

"After organising circa 200+ SlothBoogie Guestmixes, it certainly felt fresh to be curating music for my own instalment. With so much SB history, but also marking a new chapter in my music career, it felt really apt to blend some old records with some new unreleased music… and of course my own debut offering. It’s punchy and raw, just the way I like it… hope you guys dig it." - https://soundcloud.com/kennyblacksmith

We've been huge fans of the Klasse Wrecks crew for years now. Their graphic style and the sounds they put out continuously demand attention time and time again! So we're very excited to welcome Mr. Ho, one of the brains behind the label and amazing producer, to take our guest mix series for a spin.

"The main thing I was trying to do was to make it sound coherent. There's an electro feel throughout this mix, but not everything would be classified by purists as electro. Its still relatively early on in the year, so I've actually been revisiting some tracks that I have in my collection but haven't played in a while, which makes up for a lot the music in this mix.

Releases - I've had two records out on Klasse Wrecks since the beginning of this year. One of them is WRECKS048 - Mr. Ho "000 Baby w/ Om Unit remix", and the other is a track called "Hardly Working" on an Acid flavoured release called FRISB03 (the release comes with an acid frisbee). In April there is a track on Japan's Cowboy Family new label, the track is called "Aw Shucks" At some point this year there will be the release of my remix for Masarima "Freek like U" on Clone records, a track on Innershade's Altered Circuits, another EP with Luca Lozano on Klasse Wrecks, and my second EP for Cabaret Records.

This year I am excited to be making my debuts in a few festivals - Rainbow Disco Club in Japan and Korea, Polifonic in Italy, Miki Maki festival in France, and Dekmantel in the Netherlands. I will be on tour in Europe from end of May until beginning of August, and will be playing in many different nice clubs and cities." - Mr. Ho

"Hey this is Jeigo, I am a producer and DJ from London.
For the last few year’s my production has been focused on the melodic influencers from the sounds of the UK scene but more recently I have been making more club focused records which straddle the void between UKG, Techno and Bass, whilst still infusing an element of melancholia in the sound. I recently launched my own imprint Fleurella Records, a new home for self-releases, edits and more, so in this mix, I wanted to highlight some of the new tunes, whilst including a few new bits from friends and music I have been spinning at gigs. I hope you enjoy :)" - https://soundcloud.com/jeigomusic

Our love for the COEO boys work continues with their latest Mydonna EP on Toy Tonics. We've got the premiere on the alternate cut of the Disco and House tinged lead track and its a big and bouncey dancefloor weapon if ever there was one. The classic guitar sample gets all chopped up on top of a stomping beat that will guarantee a room full of  pumping air fists.

'The Wolf' is back at it on one of our favorite labels Toy Tonics, with a woozy, afro jazz inspired piece. Full of Wolfman's trademark synth flexing and piano licks. The production is a warm and inviting cosmic journey that only lets up briefly to a 4/4 movement, but the payoff is so sweet.
