SOULPH8 - Friendly Pressure

it’s time to put that uk-garage sound on! 😼

hi there,

i would love to take you back to the night of friday july 9th ‘23, which resulted in a night to remember. my girl @janeinthemix was about to host her first party at my homebase club atelier and invited me to take things to another level. ‘’this’, she said, ‘is the time and safe space for you to do something you normally wouldn’t do and to show what you are made off’’, and in order to get comfortable out of my comfortzone, i was about to play some uk-garage.😇

*little side note, as you may know i do not play uk-garage in my sets!😌
so, for me it was the first time ever to play a uk-garage only set, which supposed to be a fun sort of mischievous opening act from this li’l hosting at ateliers’ small room.😼

the moment i started prepping i had some tracks in mind but lots of diggin’ was required in order to compose an accessible, cheeky, energetic, happy one-of-a-kind set, reflecting my versatility as a dj and my appreciation to certain garage producers. therefore, i selected tracks by artists among which @theartfuldodgerr, @craigdavidofficial, @disclosuremusic, @interplanetary-criminal, @mj-cole, @toddedwards3000, @shermanology, @sunship and more..🔥

however, one day before the event the lila room (where i was supposed to play) was exchanged for ateliers’ main room… it seemed it went down sort of plot twist in which my former ‘smart move’ not only got me into some serious business, it also got me in some stressy troubles, as it turned out that sucre. had to open the indoor clubnight right after @michel-de-hey closed down their busy poolparty outside...😶
no shit, i thought that i’d brought myself in some real trouble here… but, as it turned out, it was totally wicked! 
whilst working hard delivering a good mix, i enjoyed every second of this somewhat one-in-a-lifetime experience!🤪

for track id's: please post a reaction and i'll come back to you!! 23 tracks were played in total.

enchanté! 🍬

sucre. @ Club Atelier Amsterdam (uk-garage set)  09-06-23

As the radiant sun gracefully descends towards the horizon, casting a warm and golden glow upon the tranquil Mediterranean waters, a symphony of melodies begins to weave through the air. This carefully curated summer mix becomes the enchanting soundtrack to a picturesque evening, where the sun and the sea unite in a dance of breathtaking beauty.
Gentle waves lap against the shore, setting the stage for an unforgettable narrative of romance and good vibes. The inviting beats of the music mirror the rhythmic pulse of the ocean, creating a seamless harmony that resonates with the heartbeats of those fortunate enough to witness this moment.
As the first notes gently cascade like a soft breeze, they beckon lovers to the water's edge. Couples stroll hand in hand along the sandy shore, their silhouettes framed against the vibrant canvas of the sunset. The music becomes a storyteller, narrating tales of love and connection, intertwining with the laughter of friends creating memories that will be cherished forever.
As twilight descends, the music takes on an energetic quality, mirroring the magic that envelops the Mediterranean coastline. The harmonious blend of melodies and the rhythmic murmur of the waves create an atmosphere where time seems to stand still, allowing those present to lose themselves in the enchantment of the moment.
This summer mix, a love letter to the setting sun and the idyllic shores of the Mediterranean, becomes a cherished chapter in the story of those who let the music guide them through a night filled with romance, laughter, and the promise of endless summer vibes.

Contrary to what the title of this mix suggests, there is not a Sade track in sight, (sorry to disappoint any of you ;) ) I chose the title because it perfectly communicates why and for whom i made this: the anti-Valentine heroes, heroines and gentlethems among us. It is a companion for quiet reflections on love of many kinds. It is separate from any binaries, stereotypes, and of course the looming shadow of the patriarchy that is ever present - especially around a commercial holiday such as Valentine's Day.
   Even though the creation of this holiday and its perpetuation in the media + commerce is problematic in so many ways, as a dj it is my favorite holiday by far - the one that gets me the most inspired to create and share music. My primary currency as a person and artist is emotion - so this is THE time of year that triggers, cuts and sings to me the hardest, deepest, loudest.
   As well as providing an anti-Valentine's companion for the season, this particular selection of tracks exemplifies all of the music I lean on and enjoy when i'm not prepping for a dancefloor-oriented gig: soothing, gentle, filled with caring + positive messages, atmospheric, abstract. Allowing the mind to rest and to wander.
   The final track of this mix is especially important to me - one of my favorite single releases from last year by my friend Niia. Her voice is liquid gold; her songwriting is perfectly human and direct. I listen to idk what to tell my friends every time i take off or land in an airplane, and I have been doing a LOT of traveling recently. The rest of 2024 will be more of the same.
   I'm known for spinning vinyl, but all of the tracks featured in this mix came to me through digital means. Yes, we all hate that streaming-service-that-shall-not-be-named, but we love discovering great new music too. I've trained the algorithm to bring up the most random and obscure shit to me on a regular basis - and of course it still feeds me all the neo soul and b-side grooves that i am a sucker for.
      I hope you all enjoy this mix, and that it serves as a lover to you this season. If you like what you hear, please support the artists featured via their bandcamps wherever possible.

hi there, 

since there is life and therefore always a reason to celebrate, we should be able to enjoy it as sweet as possible; at all times.
with sucre. around, the crowd will be dancing and smiling non-stop. that’s because everyone loves sucre.

'my mission is to make people dance and smile on house music. next to mix ‘n match my fav’ records (fyi: also them vinyls 🤙🏽) & dancing around the decks, me and my hubby produce our own sucre. tracks, sampling oldskool hiphop, jazz & disco gems. expect some real underground mischievous beats with a flourish touch, as it's my ultimate goal to take the audience on a happy musical journey, leaving nothing but energy and bliss on the dancefloor. 

as you made it up here, i am really looking forward to meet you there!!' 🪩

enchanté!

did you know that sucre. …
...
started to dj in february '22?
.. 
won amsterdam open air's '23 dj contest and played their mainstage?
..

is firmly committed to serve the perfect mix and to fix that, over 3000 tracks are stacked with cued loops, which she utilises as samples in order to knack it off and add some signature sweetness to the matter?
…
has a proper vinyl collection and is determined to master the art? 
.. 
wants to add live elements to her sets in the near future and therefore is learning how to control pioneer’s djs1000?
..
loves to investigate the party/venue she is booked for in order to dig & select the best matching tracks?
.. 


thank you for reading, hopefully we meet on the dance floor soon! 💃🏻
