Sorry for my absence - but I'm back with some mellow sounds, starting and ending with two great versions of the classic "People Make the World Go Round." The first is by Monty Alexander, which I only recently found out about, and the last is a more well-known take by Johnny Lytle. In-between are a variety of mellow-ish tunes for coolin out in the August heat.

Pullin from the Stacks - People Make the World Go Round

For my first ever Phonk mix you know we had to do it big, so I brought in the Purple Posse OG BACKWHEN for a special B2B and the first ever Stay Cool Visual Set with transitions and selections represented in the video too . Ever since the Chill Children tape I’ve been a fan of BACKWHEN’s music, but after one of my community told me to check out his other music even further during the Stay Cool Twitch streams in the pandemic he’s been one of my most listened to and favourite artists so it’s a special moment.

This mix has it all - exclusives from us both, remixes, an interview and even a freestyle from me, so tune in to learn more about BACKWHEN’s early days, his journey from sample-focused Phonk to his newer styles and a whole lot more with some of our favourite Phonk joints accompanying.

Stay Cool #081: Backwhen B2B Seangran Phonk Visual DJ Set + Interview + Freestyle (13th August 2024)

ReMMusic - architect of rhythm, alchemist of sound-melds the pulse of Deep and Afro House with the soul of Azerbaijani tradition. Since 2010, his sonic palette has carved through Baku’s nights and echoed across continents, a magnetic force in the global mainstream. Now, alongside ZiA - a fresh maestro of precision and groove - they ignite "Generation." A track that doesn’t just move bodies but rewires them. Punchy, fierce, unapologetic - it’s a call to the dancefloor’s devout, a voltage surge in the dark. If sound could riot, this would be the anthem. Brace yourself! To submit your demo, please send an email to demo@qulaqas.com

Generation

ReMMusic, ZiA - Generation (Original Mix)

German beat craftsman Senior Citizen drops a rugged Funk driven stomper, fusing raw MPC energy with Synthy stabs and low-end weight. Bust A Mic is a head-turning blend of boom bap attitude and dancefloor pressure.

Faffa Bruwer (Cape Town) steps in with two club-focused reworks—twisting the original into a hypnotic shuffle full of percussive flair and late-night tension. From Berlin to the Berg, this one slaps.


Senior Citizen - Give You Love (Faffa Bruwer Remix)

It's already been a decade since J Dilla — the mercurial producer and rapper from Detroit — passed away and his posthumously completed album, The Shining, saw the light of day on BBE Records. 

As they prepare to release the project on 7" for the first time, we're extremely honoured to get our hands on a never-before-heard mixtape by the master himself. Made some time between mid-1999 and early 2000, it's a fly-on-the-wall showing of what Jay Dee had blaring out of his speakers while on the sofa or by the MPC. 

Sink into your own couch and press play before ordering a copy of the re-release.
