plastic/vibes x spring/season mixes [2K22]

~ Anhanguera [Brazil] ~

The Anhanguera project comes from the work of the underground Brazilian duo Dudu Palandre and Décio Deep who decided to unite forces back in 2004. Over the past decades, they have established themselves as genuine house heads claiming that house music is their religion and that they have always been loyal to it, no matter what the fashion has been. Their pure dedication to funky bass lines and jackin grooves led them to release tracks on respectable labels such as Robsoul, Glitterbox (Defected) or Guesthouse, but also to design their own one Maracuja. That being said, expect them to mix new and old house/disco/techno records because good music is timeless and styleless. As producers, they reached new heights in 2018 when their track Cirandisco won the first place in the Traxsource’s chart of new disco. If they no longer have anything to prove at a national scale with frequent appearances in local clubs (by the way, they are holding residency at D-EDGE) and festivals, they have also already toured beyond frontiers, performing with house music legends like DJ Sneak, Mark Farina or Derrick Carter.

Their mix is juste like them: sexy, groovy and driving. Harmoniously spinning records from Jimpster, Juan McLean or KiNK, they remind us what true house music looks like. We recommend you to listen to this while sunbathing!

Anhanguera’s latest crush: Jimpster

~ Toolate Groove [Belgium] ~

Toolate Groove figures among the brilliant new wave of artists who got heavily inspired by breaks, soul, jazz, blues, but above all by the golden 90s house music from the other side of the Atlantic. The Brussels-based producer and DJ is on a lifelong mission to learn the best out of that timeless music to keep this old grooves alive for the future generations. And there is no coincidence: he started playing piano at a very young age and got his career start 3 years ago when he discovered the pivotal role of piano in house music. When it comes to production, the listening ears out there will very likely recognize straight influences from Chicago, New York and Detroit legends such as Chez Damier, Kerri Chandler, Theo Parish or Moodymann. First, take hard-hitting house beats. Second, add circumspect and dreamy piano notes. Third, dust it with joyful garage vocals. Here’s his secret recipe to produce sophisticated and lively house music. To fully express his creativity, Toolate Groove co-founded Cosmic Breeze Records, which he defines like a soulful-based emotion and borderless label focusing on exploring naturals sounds, atmospheric dreamy vibes and hypnotic grooves. All that being said, he has now been resident at the well-known Belgian club La Cabane.

This one-hour mix flawlessly sums up what we have just described above: expect 100% dreamy, rousing and eloquent 90s and modern house grooves from Groove Boys Project, Eddie Perez or Korda. This is a lightning trip to the roots of house music.

Toolate Groove’s latest crush: Mr. Marvin - Entity (Jazzy)

Our team’s recommendations: Track M [Not On Label], Can We Do It Again [APRH Records], Getaway (Brussels Mix) [Cosmic Breeze]
