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

After years of studiously compiling playlists for friends, and, more recently, taking the first amateur steps towards stringing whole sets together, I was entrusted by two dear friends to share some of my favourite tracks on the last night of an unforgettable trip to the Quaggafontein desert. 

It was my first night playing in front of strangers (although most of the strangers had become friends by then).

What I put together is a collection of melodic, texturally interesting, high-energy beats, suited to an endless, purple-hued desert sky and a small crowd of friendly faces.

It gave me tremendous joy to try my (only) hand at this. I hope you like it too.

Hideaway | Sunset at the Techno Triangle | 9 October 2021

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

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!

Dj Set @ La Granja Ibiza - July 22

Pineapple Submarine: https://www.instagram.com/pineapplesubmarine_/

From Justin:
At Burning Man, the evening of the burning of the Man is often an emotional one. Energetically diverse, with people in a variety of states of mind: contemplation, celebration, and everything in between. As the set progressed, it felt like the initial challenge was to try to merge what felt like multiple interests and energy levels on the dance floor. I remember just feeling washed in warm energy as the various strands began to intertwine and the dance floor began to move together.

When Steve reached out to ask if I’d consider playing the Man Burn, and that they wanted it to be open ended, I was really excited for the opportunity to express myself, to share music that’s been meaningful to me across a variety of energetic space and time. It’s so rare to have these windows that allow us to just play, and when that connects with the dance floor it’s just pure magic. I’m so honored that we went for as long as we did - it all just flowed.

Reflecting on it afterwards, this experience ended up being one of my absolute highlights after 12 years on the playa. I went to the burn with the primary intention to spend my personal time sharing music, and this set ultimately felt like a beautiful marker of a year spent digging, learning, traveling, feeling, and finding my voice in a what is a relatively new medium for me. 

Gratitude. As a fellow builder of art cars, it’s important to express how much this length of time in relation to such a unique and scarce resource means. Scotty and the entire Pineapple Motel crew, thank you for the effort to make it happen! Particularly special to get to play on the Funktion One that I’ve had the pleasure of tuning in New York.

Steve, Lilly, Jason, thank you for the opportunity and for your trust. What a pleasure to camp together in our little village out on the 2 o’clock side this year.  

Last fall, in an ongoing dialogue about creative mediums, my dear friend John Dill encouraged me to more seriously consider DJing. The year of ear training via vinyl has been priceless, as have all of the tips along the way from many I’ve looked up to over the years. Its been a wild ride this year, and I’m deeply grateful for the support , and a few others I’d like to call out along the way. Benjamin, Holmar, Vivian, Jason, Isaiah, Mark, Lauren, thank you! I’m planning to continue to follow my heart with this one and we’ll see where it goes from here.

Justin Shaffer - Pineapple Submarine - Burning Man 2022

Opening set at Dia de los Muertos Halloween Party (Sat 29th Oct 2022) held at The Little Scarlett Door, Soho, London.

(Lineup: Alidad, Disco-Shaman, Michael Lane, Zaveri)

Dia de los Muertos 2🕳22

Pinerolo is a restaurant in Oslo. I was commissioned by the owners to compile and mix three mixtapes. Their directives were rather vague, lending me an opportunity to pick from any genre, not care too much about how commercial the tracks were and just create an eclectic but cohesive compilation that would contribute to the relaxed vibe at Pinerolo. This is what I did.

Pinerolo Chill #1 by Crussen

We are excited to celebrate our 100th number in the podcast series with Daniel Zuur's new moniker - Kraut. The set is a slow, dubbed down fusion of sounds falling within a wide spectrum of electronic music. Emotional, tribal, exotic, and historical, Kraut's set is a rare genre by itself. His set is a story not for everyone, but touching for those who connect with it. Enjoy.

Sunset Grooves began 6 years ago and back then the idea of having 10 mixes was already an achievement.... we are now at Number 150 and the talent that has passed through this podcast is unbelievable with so many artists who were not necessarily known when they made their mix for Sunset, but are know headlining events is so dope to see! https://soundcloud.com/funky-chap is proud and inspired! 

For this special 150th edition it is an absolute pleasure to have done a b2b with the wonderful https://soundcloud.com/atroposvibes . To put you in context, we literally began this mix while the sun was setting and finished well into the dark! A musical journey of all sorts of sub genres and references starting off at 92bpm and finishing at 119bpm. It wasn't easy finding our bearings at the beginning but we then found the flow, the mojo, THAT vibe and just kept on giving! The mix is by no means perfect, but the imperfections is what makes this set a sunset grooves musical experience and a real b2b! Not afraid to try out tracks we had never played or even thought about putting together. Hopefully we can show you the "making of" video as we laughed and danced like mad men who love music! 

We are of course happy to share the track IDs should you request them and make sure you keep on grooving, dancing, smiling! 

Merci mon greg pour ce voyage de malade!

Autobrennt Mix Of The Week: Slow Hands Dfake Mixtape

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.
