House Sound of Hamburg - March, 31st 2023 / guest DJ mix by Steve Mac (UK)

In the summer of 1988, so legendary folklore recalls, a new kind of music appeared in abandoned warehouses, industrial units and fields across the UK. A phenomenon that would come to be known as Acid House. With direct influences from the USA especially that of Detroit and Chicago, as well as later Germany and Ibiza, it marked the dawn of the infamous and very British ‘Rave’ movement. The Second Summer of Love, as the summers of '88-'89 became known, and with the help of a little newly synthesized compound MDMA redefined nightlife for generations to come in UK clubs such as Shoom and Spectrum.
 
One of the finest and most respected House music producer / DJs the UK has ever produced, Steve Mac was inspired by this, compelling him to release his new Acid and Classic House inspired album in collaboration with many of the scenes original and seminal greats entitled ‘Bless This Acid House'.
 
This is a collection of brand new, authentic and original sounding House tracks that transport you back to a time when House music was strictly underground and burgeoning. Featuring collaborations with some of Electronic music’s most influential names including Marshall Jefferson, Irvine Welsh, E Raze, the late Sleezy D and Robert Owens. 
 
To date there have been two single releases from the album, the first is ‘Jack Said What’ containing a sample — a nod to the foundational house pillar of the mid-1980s — ‘Jack Said What’. The track also inspired the name of his Brighton based record label. It is an authentic and well produced raw house cut and an acid-tinged dancefloor slayer, filled with 303 and fizzy electro basslines which dominate throughout the track.
 
Followed by One Day’ a deep cut that has all the hallmarks of a classic — think Frankie Knuckles ‘Tears’, or ‘I’ll Be Your Friend’, with its deep and memorable male vocal. Delivering the aesthetics of a Chicago house record recorded 30-something years ago, but with some modern production techniques. The vocal comes courtesy of Robert Owens, probably the greatest house music male vocalist of them all and a man whose golden voice has set the standard on many classics. 
 
Steve Mac himself has impeccable credentials, a UK house music heavy hitter he has been a pillar of the international house community from the start. He is a DJ, Producer and Record Label Boss of 'Jack Said What' Records in partnership with the infamous Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh. With over 25 years experience, he is respected and revered for his analogue production style. Mac has released tracks for many labels including Nervous, MoS, Cr2, Tool Room, Saved, Underwaterand Ovum. His remix credentials just as strong  having worked with Jamiroquai, Simply Red and Michael Jackson’s releases over the years. More recently he has been releasing under the name These Machines — a tribute to the amount of vintage analogue hardware he has in his studio in order to produce and expertly mix down his tracks.

The first release on Jack Said What. ‘Ear Racer’ by Serge Santiago is an infectious house track that owes more than a hint of debt to the Italo sound that Serge lost himself in during the noughties — a sound that has come swishing back round to being in vogue again.

Propelled by a burbling topline that bounces around like a ball on a bagatelle board, ‘Ear Racer’ contains some peeps for the whistle posse, piano house chords to ignite a dancefloor, and a couple of dreamy, swirly breakdowns. The track is well named — it’s not so much an ‘earworm’ as an ‘ear racer’, providing electric impetus to transport you elsewhere.

Serge Santiago has been half of some memorable duos in his time — Radio Slave, Retro/Grade, Waze & Odyssey — but his new solo material signals a fresh chapter for the Brighton-based DJ/producer. Removed from any necessity to compromise, Serge has crafted an album of top-drawer dancefloor gear that he’s serendipitously calling ’11:11’. Released in the autumn, ‘Ear Racer’ was the first single to be taken from that album, while Serge has also rebooted the events brand, Stompa Phunk, which he co-founded. There have already been some off-the-hook Stompa Phunk parties at assorted Brighton venues in the past year, with plenty more to come.

There is so much new music, and remastered old mixes and productions there, right now, that are not on this page. 

If you could, please follow that page, as this one will close soon, as I forgot I set that up before this one years ago. I know. Stupid stupid boy.

I'm posting this very early production - I think the 2nd track I worked on that had a release, back in 1994 - up on this page only, to let you know “we’re moving”.

There you’ll find many more remastered mixes, new music already posted, and a lot more to come in the 4 weeks leading up to the release of my album 'Medication Time' on 16th Feb this year.

(For those still reading, I can admit that I totally forgot I set up that original page years ago. D'oh! Please join me again over there, where there are a lot of treats already, not on this page)

Sorry for the inconvenience - see you on the other side.

Hey pals! 

It's Dima's 'RUNE' birthday today, and the best gift we can give you is the new Outcast from our dear music friend — EVL TOM @evl_tom Over several years of knowing him personally, Tom has proven himself to be a deep and versatile person, especially when it comes to music. We sincerely admire his deep approach and understanding of styles and are happy to share this two-hour mix with all of you!

To confirm these words, here is a first-hand quote from Tom:

"Hello, friends! I was super happy to be asked to do this mix, as the Ukrainian scene and its people are very dear to my heart. Dima asked me for a mix to represent my take on the breakbeat sound as we enter into this new year. I've always felt that breaks can be a versatile and wide-reaching genre, and I’ve tried to explore some of that in this mix.

There are organic, percussive tracks, florida acid, electro and techno ingredients, some reggae, grime, and hip-hop elements, deep rollers, melancholic, melodic bangers, shroomy mind expanders, and plenty of rib cage rattling bass. Just the breakbeat that I love, basically. A few old ones in there but plenty of the new including my new single “Eternal Lids” which is the third single off my upcoming album, “Absolute Melt” which drops on March 1st on OUT YER BOX @out-yer-box. Also, couldn’t resist including a little edit at the end that’s been getting crowds a little hyped lately. Hope you enjoy, and seek out my new bits in those places you do your seeking."

Lots of love, EVL TOM xx

So show your love to the Artist and enjoy this breakbeat journey in all its diversity!

Today I’m launching the DubCast; my broadcast channel where I'll be sharing upcoming music here first, plus plenty of behind the scenes highlights from my travels.

To kick off the channel, you can listen to my set from ADE at DJ Bone’s long-running Homeless Homies charity event at Radion during ADE, where I join a wide array of amazing artists who have all come together to raise awareness and funds for the homeless in Amsterdam and Detroit. Thank you DJ Bone and Ahnne for creating such a worthy project and asking me to be involved 🙏🏻❤️

JAMIE WOON - SHOULDA HORATIO EDIT

In a basement music-making studio in the south of England sit a bunch of machines. A Moog System 15, a Juno 106, classic Roland TR-808, TB-303 and TR-909s, an Emu SP1200, a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Akai MPC, a Mini-Moog… these machines have been some of the foundation hardware for electronic music over the years.

But these machines can’t make music by themselves. Despite all the hype about artificial intelligence (AI) and robots, these machines need somebody to collaborate with — a human — to draw out their soul and funk.

We’ve been fascinated by machine music since the second half of the 20th century, and electronic music has been powered by the ever-developing automation of new technology. “I’ve collected these machines for a long time now, and each one has a story,” says uber-producer Steve Mac, owner of all these machines. “Every time I buy a new one, the rule is that I have to make a track with it.”

The variety of people who drop by to play on these machines are what make the music coming out of this studio so diverse. Whether it’s house music legends like Marshall Jefferson or Danny Rampling swinging by, or cult Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh laying down some vocals on a German/Scottish kosmische disco ditty; a session with dubwise breakbeat rave act Genaside II to making a track with unknown guitar n’ bass whizkid Scott Booth; from working with young house hotshots Cousn from Bristol to some songs with a Brazilian band Steve met in the pub — these machines need humans to collaborate with. They can’t do it themselves.

The above-mentioned Brazilian band member Rafael Berrio provided the impetus for ‘Martina’, a Balearic Brazilian love story that’s the first single from Steve’s new project. It’s backed by a melodic breakbeat piece that also utilises those Brazilian vibes. “I want to make music from the heart,” says Steve. “It’s the interaction of people and machines that I’m really fascinated with.”

Each of these machines is a feat of engineering. Machines like these have created countless classic electronic music cuts, and lately Steve has been adding to that cannon — with a slew of tracks ready to go. The electricity is on. The motor is running. Are you ready for the sound of These Machines?
