Duca spreads the love around the b-block, heading for the sound system jams of London party heads, Good Block. Established across the City laying down their eclectic parties at spots Brilliant Corners and The Yard et al, with guests range from Cosmic Slop, Habibi Funk, Jamie Tiller and more, the duo soon ventured in the studio to release a series of edits and 3 wonderful and highly, underrated EPs of slow-mo dub influenced Balearic-Pop meets Japanese-Synth and New-Age meanderings. Here today, right now, they offer 4 of their youth-cult status editing for the people.

Art of editing is also knowing moment to shorten as much as extend. Starting, GC take the elongated Jap-funk’n’breaks meets (On-U) Sound system bass and bring the party to the rightful spot.

The sprite drums always present, slap bass, cheeky vox, ha, the ladyyyy. Infectious. Zoukious. Now dance.

Rightly taking a left turn, we go (disco) hamam party style, finger bass lift us to the sky.

The energy will not drop, faster, faster, the whole world must love as it crumbles…you keep me hanging on…every time, every time, every time I see your face.

Good Block rrrrockin’.

December 2023 Company Benefits

SOULMEEX

Delonte Rivers - SOULMEEX 078

Good Block are a familiar duo amongst certain circles. For several years they have been steadily releasing music inspired by the funk and balearic influences of the late eighties and nineties - fusing modern sounds with the sun kissed hedonism of the past. They've been generous with it too. Always keen to share edits and tracks with friends, their music has been the secret weapon of many a DJ.

They are about to release a new album - titled 'Window' the record features a collection of dubbed out downtempo and house music which shows a growth and depth to their sound.

Based in London the pair are also seriously talented selectors - having built a reputation for their eclectic, far reaching sets which move between styles and genre.

This mix is a masterclass in a warm, glowing type of dance music - the sort that makes you long for summer and serenades you into spring.
