Dazzle Drums Love To Boogie

We have been excited to drop this next mix ever since they let us know they wanted to join the series, next up, all the way from Tokyo, Japan we have the incredible Dazzle Drums!! The duo consists of Kei Sugano, who jumped into DJing in 92’ through Hip Hop culture and after a valuable experience from Tony Humphries and Timmy Regisford, he mechanically changed his style to more soulful music based on house and dance classics, leading him to NYC several times to experience the dance floors The Loft, Zanzibar, Sound Factory Bar, The Warehouse (Bronx) and Shelter. Plus Nagi, dance music lover since she was 15, way before she set a foot in a disco or club. The journey as a DJ had begun on the dance floor, where she discovered individuality in an environment where nationality didn't matter. From there she joined "Smoker", hosted by the Japanese legend DJ Nori at club LOOP from '98 to '08.

Both members started DJing individually in the 90s. Although rooted in soulful house music, their selections span a wide variety of styles, expertly shown here in their extended 2 hour mix with a beautiful blend of Soul, Disco, Funk and House. In 2005 they began producing music using the name Dazzle Drums. They now hold a reputable catalog with releases on King Street Sounds, Centric Music, Tony Records, Nulu Electronic, Tribe Records, BBE Music, and more. DJs such as Danny Krivit, Joaquin Joe Claussell, Louie Vega, Tony Humphries, DJ Nori, DJ Emma and Tim Sweeney have all been known to include their tracks in their sets. 

In 2010 they launched their own imprint, Green Parrot Recording. In 2014 they released Japan limited 1st album "Rise From The Shadows". In 2016 their 2nd album "Concrete Jungle" which was released on Anane Vega's label Nulu Electronic. They have appeared at Gilies Peterson’s Worldwide Festival, Ray Ban x Boiler Room Tokyo, plus a European tour including Amsterdam’s ADE. They also hold down a monthly show on Worldwide FM that is well worth checking out, but for now, make sure you wrap your ears around this mix!!

Mad Mats, dating back his famous Raw Fusion Parties, is definitely one of the best "Club Jazz" DJ's in the World even if most of the people know him as a great House Dj with amazing Hip Hop Skills!

He has done for "My Favorite Things" a great mix including some digital only and unreleased tracks like this killer Incognito Remix by MAW and this hard to find, CD Only, Billy Foster’s Samba tune !

Mats has selected too some rare gems, which remember he was a very serious digger and records collector during the 80’s and 90’s like the Killer Britfunk "Final Approach" by ICQ !

Some Future classics also featured by Mats and myself like the EWF’s Cover "Can’t hide love" by Mishcael Stephenson and one of the best Jazz record of the year by Emma-Jean Thackray. 

Enjoy and don’t forget we can dance on jazz !

90-minute back-to-back set with Roger Bong, Hideki Yamamoto, Vinyl Don, Masaki Tamura (doitJAZZ!), and KEISUKE DANCE (Makelele). Recorded live at Hachi Record Shop and Bar in Kyoto, Japan, September 24, 2019.

Last summer we reached out to a wide range of label artists and like-minded producers, gathering together the previously unreleased tracks they offered up on the Collective Sounds compilation. That set was hugely successful, spending some time at the top of the Junodownload sales chart, so we have decided to do it all over again with a sequel that’s every bit as alluring as its predecessor.

Featuring a range of like-minded heads old and new, the 15-track set draws together an eclectic selection of exclusive cuts rooted in Boogie Café’s love of soul, deep house, broken beat, boogie and jazz-funk. You’ll find up-tempo workouts aplenty of course, but also some hazier and more seductive tracks that bob along at an altogether slower tempo.

You’ll find a number of artists local to Boogie Café’s Bristol base present, with Alfresco Disco’s Lord Leopard laying down the loose-limbed, bruk-up sweatiness of “Magic Hands”, Good Vibrations Music chief Sean McCabe delivering piano-laden deep house thrills on “Notes From The Universe” and JMorrison smashing together dense percussion and razor-sharp funk samples on “Mullet Frenzy”.

The quality threshold never dips throughout, with highlights coming from both seasoned veterans and younger or lesser-known artists. In the former category you’ll find the drowsy downtempo beats of Chezz, the synth-laden deep house warmth of West Country stalwarts BRS and the jazzy broken beat/soul fusion of Lord Byron and Colonel Red. 

Of the new breed’s contributions, make sure you check the inspired, near Balearic synth-funk of Edleigh’s “Attenbro”, the skipping U.S garage heat of Funkayon’s “Shame” and the sub-heavy house strut of Haze City’s weighty “Strutt”. These are just our suggestions though; you’ll find plenty more gems stretched out across the entirety of Collective Sounds 2.
