SPND20 Mixtape by Marcel Dettmann

Dutch selector Tom Trago dials in a vinyl-only offering that provides a slice of warm, vibrant and sunkissed escapism just in time for his appearance at Puglia's Polifonic Festival. 

Speaking on the entry, which features tracks from house heroes Ron Trent and Soichi Terada, among others, Trago described it as an encapsulation of the "late-night emotions of the Bari area [in Puglia, Italy]".

Crack Mix 454: Tom Trago

Studio mix n°25 come from one of our favorite characters, Dutch house master Tom Trago. 
We have lots of memories and anecdotes we could share about our good friend Tom - like when we invited him to play for the very first edition of the festival and he surprised both us and the airport security by showing up at the arrivals barefoot. 
Or when we found him sleeping on the terrace of our house after his set last year, fully enjoying the magical spirit and the vibes of Apulian sunrises. We love you Tom!

Talking about his artistic journey Tom has long been one of the leading lights of the Dutch electronic music underground; a globe trotting DJ, producer, live performer and label owner who enjoys nothing more than championing both overlooked gems and fresh sounds from his own country.
He once claimed that he felt a physical need to make music every day, and it’s hard to think of anyone whose immersion in music is quite as complete.
For Tom, there is no “typical day”, but an average one would include a combination of studio sessions – either solo, or with friends and like-minded musicians from the Netherlands or beyond – DJ gigs and live shows.
Although now widely considered to be among the top tier of European DJs, capable of working big rooms, intimate spaces and wild festival crowds, Tom’s rise was built on years honing his craft.
Enjoy this 2h vinyls only' journey where his shows all his eclecticism. Good vibes guaranteed.

Polifonic Podcast 025 - Tom Trago

Taken from the Rush Hour catalogue:

This must be one of the heaviest remix packages in a long time. A year after the release of Tom Trago's 'Iris' album we now have versions from no less than KiNK, Linkwood AND Larry Heard. All three hit the deep spots...err... TIP!

Larry Heard kicks off this set with his Fingers signature sound, turning the 'What You Do' into a deep and emotional piece. Yet it is sturdy enough to be a sensual (yes, sensual) late night warehouse mover. 

Linkwood reworks 'Being With You' and turns it up a notch, giving it a grandiose hi-tech soul spin which is reminiscent of older Carl Craig productions.. the ones we sorely miss these days, so kudos to Linkwood for bringing it back.

The frenzy starts with KiNK going ballistic on 'What You Do'. With his remix he pushes the track to madman level! For those who are not into lyricists, there is a dub mix too. 

Being With You (Linkwood Remix)

The landmark 100th single on Phantasy arrives courtesy of label founder, DJ and producer, Erol Alkan. Originally recorded less than a year after Phantasy’s inception in 2007, ‘Automatic’ arrives in 2021 to both celebrate and anticipate resurgent dance floor abandon, blending elements of French touch and disco psychedelia with driving, raw percussion, as charismatic and gloriously high-energy as anything from Alkan’s extensive back catalogue of productions and remixes.

‘Automatic’ is available to download and stream digitally, and will initially be available as a limited edition pressing of 100 single-sided vinyl, housed in a screen-printed sleeve with each copy individually hand-numbered by Alkan himself.
