Mixtapes for the Music Family

Witchtape #91 | Guest Wizz : Funky Chap

That morning, the little witch woke up a few minutes before sunrise in a frosty forest.  With her eyes still half-open from a good night’s sleep, her heart suddenly skipped a beat from excitement when she realized it was the day of the Spring Equinox, which meant her wizard was coming to visit her.  Contrary to popular belief, witches and wizards are truly romantic beings, although they rarely meet.  So each year during the spring equinox, all stars align and everywhere on the planet couples of witches and wizards get together.
During her daily inspection round of the forest, the girl made all necessary arrangements to organize the customary game of hide-and-seek.  Of course, all forest animals were part of the conspiracy, and so was the tree nymph, who had never seen the wizard before.
The tradition is that the witch hides somewhere deep inside the woods and the wizard has to find her.  The last 2 years, the plan of the girl always quickly fell through with her lover managing to find her in a matter of minutes, despite hiding in the top of the highest tree or under a pile of dry leaves.  So this year she needed a better plan.  After weeks of thinking, she decided to simply hide in plain sight in the middle of the center clearing of the forest, speculating that the wizard would search everywhere, except in the most obvious place.
This year, the spring equinox coincided with a beautiful half-moon, with light and darkness perfectly balancing each other out.  This gave the little witch the idea to cast a spell over one half of the forest, so that the Southern part was full of flowers and singing birds while the Northern half was still frozen and silent.
At noon, an owl passed the news that the wizard had arrived in the forest so the witch quickly installed herself on a dry patch of moss in the center glade, while a couple of dunnocks decorated the girl’s long brown hair with little white flowers.  
This year, the hiding plan worked so well that after 3 hours of ransacking the woods, the wizards still hadn’t found his girl.  The giant wizz had a really tough time plodding through the muddy sections of the forest.  Finally, he found the pond which the badgers had dug for the nymph a few months earlier.  It struck him that this water body didn’t exist the last time, so he was almost 100% sure the little witch was hiding below the water surface.  It is a known fact that witches can stay under water for hours, so that looked like the perfect hiding spot.  The wizard slipped out of his clothes and waded into the pool.  He quickly sensed a female presence in the water, so his heart started to throb very fast from excitement.  Unfortunately for him, the girl in the water was the nymph and not the witch.  And nymphs are known for their fierce temperament, so after a brief but fiery encounter he made a quick getaway out of the water, apologizing at length to the nymph while hiding behind a tree, shivering from the cold until a group of helpful badgers brought back his clothes.
After an owl reported these events to the little witch, she started to chuckle so loud that she gave away her position.  After that it was only a matter of minutes before the wizard found the witch.  Her heart jumped from joy as she looked up to her giant (2m40 tall) lover of pure African blood, while his heart raced when he looked into the little (1m58) European witch’s mesmerizing green eyes.  Soon her soft snow-white skin touched his silky pitch-black skin while they engaged in the most tender embrace the forest had ever seen.  After their passionate welcome kiss, the intertwined couple observed the beautiful half-moon rising high in the sky, while the sun went down to announce an unforgettable starry night …

It has been four years since I last did a mix for Sunset Grooves and it was high time I did a mix returning to my funk roots. Not the easiest of genres to mix but definitely one of the most fun you can have :) This is a mix full of some of my favorite funk tracks at the moment  and one or two classics I needed to include.. all mixed with a modern touch to give that extra kick/punch that I dig so much. 

Hoping to seduce some music fans who haven't explored much this genre and those who know it to hopefully discover a few tracks you have not come across :)

Sunset Grooves Podcast #198 - Funky Chap

VOS 091
The perfect Sunday antidote: A Voyage of Spirits by Funky Chap.

Funky Chap, hailing from Lausanne in Switzerland, recorded this set in his little flat overlooking Lac Léman with the snowy mountains on the other side appearing slowly through the clouds whilst the sunshine caused an orange tinge on the clouds.  

With his musical world filled with groove and unexpectedness, Funky Chap’s idea behind this set was to do something different, putting unpredictable pieces of music together, with a hope of bringing about a few smiles and some music that the listeners haven’t heard before.

A Voyage of Spirits by Funky Chap ⚗ VOS 091

We spent the month of January as residents at our favourite rooftop in Jozi, The Living Room, where we played a different genre each weekend. By far our favourite was a beautiful Saturday sunset session where we delved into two hours of house and deep house with a lot of local flavours. It was so much fun to play a slightly different genre to our usual, so we decided to share this one with you. 

with love, Leila and Nick xx

Some people ask what style of music do you play and it is very difficult for me to respond. However, if I am playing in a night club or a festival and need to crank up the bpm's I absolutely love it! It has been a while since I last mixed and therefore been curating some of these dance floor bangers over the past few months! Bring on the summer sunsets!

Wanndalust #01 mit Tµmmetott

Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.

Nach all den Brettern, die die Welt bedeuten, packt der Herr mit Stimmband und Synthie heute seine Plattenkiste für Luises kleinen Hobbykeller. Legt euch auf den Läufer, denn Monolink​ bleibt auf dem Teppich, sitzend wie der Kopfschmuck, der alles wieder gerade rückt.

In diesem Sinne: Jazz, Jazz, Jazz.

This week @nikolasnoam wrote us a real Symphony. Every song is thought as an instrument with its own place and purpose. All together though the form a greater piece of music bigger than its individual pieces.
Like a classical piece it ranges from rambling depths to high flying ballet telling a whole story.

Noraj Cue - Restoring The Future // Alter Ego Podcast 45

Thank you for finding the latest in the In Too Deep series.  I wanted to drop a set that summed up what we have nearly all felt we have missed in 2020.  The ability to start a night out with a few chill tunes just to get us in the mood, maybe a couple of ‘pre drinks’… the anticipation of the night ahead… and then the night itself.  Funky Chap and I wanted to create a set that carried you through the journey of a great night out from beginning to end to remind us all that it won’t be long until we are able to get out there again and share a great time with friends and fresh tunes to match.
For this set you will find Funky Chap spinning the first hour in typical fashion from him.. an eclectic style that I struggle to find anyone else managing with such a cool and well, funky approach.  I’d say it’s very unique, and that’s what I love about him.  As head honcho of one of the best and most established channels out there with Sunset Grooves, it was a great honour to have him aboard for this trip.

So I play the second hour, and I’m going back to my roots with a peak time clubby sound that I wanted you to close your eyes and imagine you are there amongst it all, with the wonderful people, the lights, the bass, hands in the air.. ah, how we miss it !
We really appreciate you joining us and hope you enjoy this set.

With love, Jeremy (Funky Chap) & John (Electronica Massiva)

From Funky Chap..   I have been a fan of John’s edits and track selection from the moment I first heard him. Therefore the moment we got together to make this in too deep mix and being in charge of starting it off, I got inspired to choose tracks that would take the dance floor on a unique musical experience. Naturally, being the founder of @sunset-grooves my track selection always varies yet has that groove that will keep driving the mix. The idea is to get the listener all warmed up so that John can take over and exhaust the listeners to a frenzy. An absolute pleasure to do this collaboration with you and share good music with those who love it.

Connections..
