The Square Sun Sessions

Razzmic
Razzmic grew up in the nineties and zeroes: a golden era for R&B and neo-soul jams - that’s where the foundation for their broad musical taste was laid out. Eventually throwing themselves into hardbop and spacey spirituals from their teenage years on, Razzmic has developed a preference for mellow keys, broken beats, mesmerizing fusion and clubby cross-overs over the years. And if things might get a little out of hand during after hours, they're more than willing to throw in some rave anthems, fresh breakbeat tunes or rowdy steppers. With a fine ear for percussional detail and a never-ceasing curiosity for the mystical deeper layers and stories behind the music, Razzmic crafts a jazzy, danceable blend to vibe to.


Top 3 Picks:
1. Orlando Riva Sound - Moon Boots
That title only, I mean… what’s more groovy than a pair of silver, high-platform, puffy moon boots? I always like my bass lines and percussional elements a little quirky, and this jam has both. Paired with a thumping drum section and Southern-like guitar licks, Orlando Riva does all the work for us. It’s a dance floor wrecker that can play from beginning to end, and I don’t have to put any effort in dancing to it myself - it just catalyses my urge to boogie instantly.

2. Mark Soskin - Walk Tall
I love it when records have a swaggy, soul or p-funk-like vibe, but colour outside the lines with Rhodes solos or rhythm breaks. That’s exactly how I would describe the sweet spot a lot of fusion records hit with me. Mark Soskins interpretation to the Cannonball Adderley classic is just… wow. In an even more funky, warmer key, with a sped-up, thumping baseline. These are the type of records I can completely lose myself in.

3. Arp Frique - Wa Ye Me
This is such a warm, open arms invitation to the dance floor. The groove on this one is just impeccable. Niels Nieuborgs approach to music is a breath of fresh air on Dutch festival stages and dance floors. He’s assembled a lot of talented young musicians around him over the years, among them are the incredibly talented bass player Marilonah and Ghanese singer Mariseya. Putting Capeverdian, Surinamese, Ghanaian and Nigerian sound to the forefront and blending them with futuristic Arp synth sounds, Arp Friques sound is always unifying, heartwarming, even decolonial you could say. Very dear to my heart.

Razzmic I The Square Sun Sessions #13

Vrøge is nestled in the vibrant city of Utrecht where he is spreading music that will make your hips shake while having a massive smile on your face. Ever since he was little boy music has played a prominent role in his life. Starting of playing the keys in a band, but over the last couple years he realized that turning some nobs is much more fun to do. During those same years he found himself enjoying all types of music. However, what really sets his soul in fire is a record with a killer horn section. 
The mix put together with recent discoveries showcasing what he loves the most.


Vrøge top 3:
Merchant - Tumble Down
One of the best of his generation with a troubling but interesting life in which he luckily came in touch with music and made some superb records. The flow and energy of this, in which the horns are perfectly placed in between all other interesting sounds, makes it in my opinion his best work.

Tim Maia - O Descobridor Dos Sete Mares
All-time favourite, those horns in the beginning gives me goosebumps every time and that in combination with that with that amazing voice of Tim Maia makes it just the perfect tune.

Tabanka Djaz - Lisa Cherry
Incredible band from Guinea-Bissau that I recently discovered. Especially their more energetic records containing super interesting rhythms and again some astonishing horn sections. Much more to be discoverd from the musical landscape of Guinea-Bissau

Boyd V is a music fanatic with a love for funk, boogie, disco, and electronic music from all corners of the world. Being based in Amsterdam and surrounded by a lot of good record stores, this mix consists of some recent finds, one home-made production and a few personal favourites like Jolley & Swain – Soul Street, creating a nice blend of different genres. 

Boyd V’s top 3:
1. Lis’a – Mich’e – Absolutely amazing house track I found recently. Case of love at first listen!
2. Alexis Laik – Danse, Danse, Danse – French funk record. Soft but beautiful. I love a good French synth-pop/disco/boogie record, and this is one of my favourites. It has got a nice instrumental version as well. 
3. Arthur Russel - In the Light – super deep jazz-funk track. A thirteen-minute journey into sound. Arthur Russel is an amazing artist, who unfortunately passed away at a young age (40). However, his musical legacy of beautiful music like this track remains for us to enjoy.

Capra has an intrinsic devotion to resurrect the primal era of dance and clubbing music. With a distinct focus on music from the first part of the nineties, he strives to create melancholic trips with a raw edge. Contrary to his usual approach, this set tries to achieve the same but in a less club-oriented way. Less 4x4, more experimental sounds. Enjoy it while having a coffee and have a little dance (but don't let them notice)!

Capra's recent hot tunes:
1. P.A. Presents - Lost Voices    
A recent release from Utrecht, got it as a present from my sister!

2. Sandals - Joy    
Very nice, just embody the nostalgia it generates

3. Jessie Deep! - Moonday   
Perfect if you pitch it down 8%, nice closing track for a punchy set.

We reminisced about the opening at The Shore while listening to the recording of DJ Tracksuit's set. This is the kick-off of the new series 'Reminiche', where we share recorded sets of artists at the stages and parties we hosted. So, if you missed out on an event or if you do not want to touch your phone on the dancefloor to Shazam, this one song, we have got your back. 

Big fat shoutout to the team of Blue Sigma for setting up a stage where not a single needle skipped during the night, which is a rare experience for parties at the beach! Thank you to The Shore for hosting all of us and Fishtapes for allowing us to host one of the stages.
