First edition of this wonderful wonderful festival. I was given the honor of closing duties for the intimate Oracle stage on Saturday night. Having heard amazing sets by so many awesome artists throughout the weekend, the pressure was indeed FULL ON! However, I let loose with my track selections and got down and dirty with the wicked crowd :) 

A couple of questionable transitions towards the end but that was the heat of the moment and a little fatigue from 2 full days of partying ;)

Funky Chap @ Children of Panacea Festival 2023 | Oracle Stage | (Closing)

Over 10 years ago in 2013 I kicked off Sunset Grooves podcast by inviting DJs and artists that I enjoyed listening too. It did not matter what genre, how many followers they had, where they come from but it came down to their love for music and their unique interpretation of what music to play during a sunset. With the number of listeners that followed the podcast it soon became a platform for upcoming and new artists to be discovered by those who love good music. 

Soooo, I want to personally thank every single artist who has contributed to 10 years of quality music that has been heard on this podcast. From your unique sets, to sharing premieres from all four corners of the world. Equally thank you to all the listeners who have supported the channel, written comments and gone on to follow the artists :) 

10 Year Podcast Mix: 

I want to thank all the artists who have shared some unreleased edits and productions with me over the last few years and I wanted to put together a mix with music that has inspired my musical taste the last 10 years, while having never played these tracks in previous mixes :) It is a set that I would play while the sun sets over the Swiss mountains starting off slow and progressively getting more and more intense! 

A couple of shoutouts regarding unreleased music, but the list is of course endless for me: Rolandson for the intro inspiration, Orlando 51 for the cinematic discovery, Barda for the downtempo softness, The Scumfrog for being a true music head, K2WO for that new funky rawness, thommie g for his high level of mixing electro with a blend of classics,... 

I will stop babbling now and move aside for the music!

Founded by Jeremy aka @Funky-Chap to unite music lovers to spread music news, new tracks, old tracks, unknown artists, good vibes, events within your region to people who appreciate music and its different genres. The podcast first launched at the start of 2013, successfully bringing in a variety of DJs based all over the world who are truly passionate about music.

We have a fresh podcast from a different DJ every week.. sometimes more often sometimes less. The music style is all about what the DJ is feeling at the moment with the common theme of having that beautiful sunset in the background wherever you may come from or where you are currently based.
