Oh yea, that right there, right there. Tight mix.

We are proud to present our first podcast ever! 

For this special occasion, we invited SPÆCIAL RECORDINGS head honcho Rough_Thought, direct from Madrid.

We will let the music do the talking, but first we want to get to know our special guest.

1. How and where was the mix recorded?

I recorded the mix at home a couple of weeks ago with my set up: 2 x Technics SL1210mk5, Xone42 mixer and one monitor Krk Rokit 8.

2. Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?

The main idea is to dance!  After a year without dancefloors, this is what I would like to do the most without a doubt, dancing surrounded by good friends and a good soundsystem. 

I have chosen music with a good groove and mood, 90's tech-house influenced mainly, with records from 1990 till nowadays. 

There are also a couple of tracks with a clear italian house influence, I'm a lover of this sound too.

3. What are your main infuences regarding electronic music and Djing in general?

I admire many artists, I think it is something very healthy, to admire and appreciate the artists who resonate with you and your ideas. I have a deep admiration for the great diggers and underground DJs of the current scene: Nicolas Lutz, Onur Ozer, Francesco del Garda, Jane Fitz, Quest... 

But it is also true that some times I prefer to listen to less known DJs, but nonetheless very talented ,like Joe Delon, Don Rafael, Roza Terenzi, Adam Pits or N-gynn to name a few.

In these last years and thanks to the label, I have met people in mi city, Madrid, that I also admire a lot like Dj F, Joaquin Texeira, Difid aka Dakpa... the list is endless.

4. Tell us a bit more about SPÆCIAL, why and how did you set up the label?

SPÆCIAL RECORDINGS was born out of pure love for this culture. It is a project that I have together with two of my best friends, Azid Kousin and Nacho Campo. 

In it, there is no other ambition than to release good records showing our particular vision of dance music. It is a completely independent project and all decisions are made by consensus between the three of us. 

Currently, and due to the personal situation in our lives, the project is working slower, but it remains solid and strong. 

We are looking forward to start events under our own command. Maybe when clubs reopen, we will see the first Spæcial showcase...

5. What are you up to next? Projects, ideas…

This year we will surely have a new release, although it is still too early to unveil anything. Personally, my first goal is to keep alive from raising my two young children (laughes). After that, I would love to start making music again and putting out my first solo EP on Spaecial. And of course keep buying music and playing records, I think I'll do that until the day I die

New Rave Nation 004 Apr 2023

Was such a pleasure playing this (relatively) chill set at The Great Beyond, July 29, 2023.  My first time playing during the day felt different and we did not run the stage this year so we were booked in a 4 hour block Saturday called "The Headspace Collective". We split it evenly- Neil played first, Brandi next and then me. They did a great job of keeping it chill. I, as usual, couldn't keep it slow but worked it up for the perfect set up to JayceeLives playing disco, boogie and house. 
Thanks to Cloudy Kid and Kajungaworld for the audio support, Neil Fox for the all around support and of course Intellephunk for throwing an awesome event
Enjoy!

Sorrbet is a musical palate cleanser with a style that is unique yet familiar. Nostalgic like a childhood treat, yet refined for adult consumption. Sorrbet creates an emotional experience including (but not limited to) four-on-the-floor percussive house, synth dance classics, grooving edits and obscure disco. Sorrbet's excellent programming abilities, and knowledge provide unique flavor to the dance floor.
