This week is a UKG special. In the mix expect to hear labels such as 17 Steps, Griffintown Records & Crucast. Artists you will hear include Dusky, Interplanetary Criminal & Soul Mass Transit System

The Eclectic Sessions #34 - UKG 26.3.24

Crate-digging is fun! This is a mix I've done, originally planned for, uh, February, where I've made a mix of UK techno (loosely defined), which covers all angles, which means that the mix starts off pretty stripped-down and minimal, then goes through some chunky modern acid house, then into some bass-heavy dub and jungle influenced techno that could only come from the UK, some more loopy hardgroove-style stuff, then steadily more banging and intense, right up to some classic London acid techno, modern industrial techno from Perc and, finally, my own extremely uncompromising track ‘Crossbones’! 

Enjoy!

Loopy Radio Show 024 - Heavy House Sessions

@melladeemusic makes his debut on our SLAPCAST series to give you a taste of what’s to come, with his club debut coming sooner than you would think. We haven’t even mentioned his solo EP on the label, which is going into production soon 👀.

Some words from Mella Dee: 
A journey through my vision of SlapFunk, twisted minimal grooves through to heavyweight 4x4 bass heavy rollers. All dedicated to the dance floor crew who roll from the night through the day and back again. An honour to be part of the series and the SlapFunk crew.

Mella Dee - SLAPCAST081

A mix of my favorite disco and house tracks :)

Boogie Nights Vol. 1

Few artists can lay claim to starting a party brand at Glastonbury, but Mella Dee is no ordinary artist. With his recently formed “Nothing Stays The Same” events are more like a call to arms than an extended dancing session. Mella’s parties feature OG selectors, much in the same vein as himself, they tread their own path and are a constant source of inspiration for their peers and fans alike. We have not even begun to discuss Mella Dee’s musical journey which has taken in a great many sonic influences that have seen him stop off at rave, techno, broken bass, and of course house music in all its groovy variants.

SLAPFUNK PRESENTS: MELLA DEE – STEADY MOVIN’ 

The Anglo-Dutch connection stays strong as SlapFunk welcomes Yorkshire’s own Mella Dee to the family! After tearing up the dance floor at our parties, it was only right to bring him deeper into the tribe—and he’s delivered a debut EP that’s sure to stay in playlists and record bags for some time. 

Built to shake dark sweaty basements as well as ignite those big warehouse raves, this record is pure dance floor weaponry. Blending raw underground energy with fresh sounds that push the SlapFunk style forward. Mella Dee flexes his sonic spectrum, serving up four heavy jams. Choose from a Warp-era inspired banger, paying homage to his Yorkshire roots and early influences . A deep, techy roller packed with a heavyweight Reese bassline.
A driving, techno-infused thumper built for peak-time mayhem & chunky box workout with a fat square bass line… all designed to get the party popping and the dancers throwing some serious shapes. 

SlapFunk and Mella Dee keep the tribe and the vibe alive & kicking with this dynamite debut offering, dressed to impress in our trademark artwork. Get on it!

Joe has been been trying to craft the perfect transition between two records for the last 30 years,  one day he'll get there but until then,  welcome to the official home of Brutal Willis where we specialise in the exclusive currency of Global Electronic Soul. 

I managed Vinyl Frontier Records in Woking,  Surrey for the best part of a decade..... living, breathing,  loving and sharing repetitive beats.   I have been fortunate enough to grace the platters at lots of different clubs,  events and festivals up and down the country and Europe.  I co ran the legendary night "Shuffle" (which may come back one day).  I won the coveted "bedroom bedlam" mixtape award for Muzik magazine, residencies at the Cross, The Pool , Piranah's and 333 in London and was awarded the Percy Thrower Lifetime achievement award for services to the green plant.  I have played at Glastonbury, The Big Chill, Kimberley, Orchard amongst  many others and more recenly a regular fixture at the Give ! festival for House of Honey.   These day's I can be found deep in stock pots working culinary magic for all kinds of people,  however you may still catch me behind the platters (that matter) as much as I can.  I love music with a captivating groove, a glowing warmth,  sincerity and emotion however it comes and still relish the opportunity to share my sounds manually through the medium we know as Vinyl.  As long as it's available I will continue to support it,  everything about it just works and I believe it helps strengthen our beloved scene.
