DISCO LOVE LETTER part #3

Italian producer & Hot Mix label boss Nick Anthony Simoncino is back with "Some People", a collaboration with Chicago's legendary House vocalist Robert Owens. Simoncino's 3 original mixes sound just like tracks lifted off lost EP's straight from the mid 80's with deep, melancholy synths, driving analogue drum machine sounds and Owen's yearning vocal performance coming together beautifully while showing off Simoncino's versatility as a producer. "Some People" is perfect late night House music with a classic sensibility, for the deepest hours of the night or the morning.

On remix duties we have the UK's very own Chamboché who delivers a deep, rolling version of "Some People" keeping things nice and stripped back and adding a dubby quality to his mix while Finnish new school House head Trevor Deep Jr's "Warehouse Mix" keeps Owen's vocals right up-front with some killer drum programming and percussion rounding out the EP while keeping the old school vibe firmly anchored to the dancefloor...

DJ Set at @cphdistortion Distortion Festival Copenhagen 2023.

For longer than anyone can remember, Mika Snickars has been known for his eponymous record shop in Stockholm, Sweden (since 1995, in fact). He’s been a versatile DJ even longer, starting at 3rd grade school discos.  

Mika’s knowledge is deep + wide and his vinyl excursions are legendary (who else caught multiple og Beat Bops in the wild?). 

Through his passion he has gone to influence several generations of Nordic dj’s and producers (not to mention other record stores).

What we have here is a timeless mp3 artifact from a time when Mika was one of the very very few dj's pushing disco in the Nordics. 

Many of the songs here are considered underground classics now, but back in 2000, before vinyl internet as we know it, they were just underground. From the gospel vibes of NYCC to the boogie masterclass of SASS, selection is flawless & life-affirming 🧡

So Damn Tuff 11.12.23

Soul Summit is a New York institution. The DJ trio have been putting on a summer festival in Brooklyn's Fort Greene park for well over a decade now, and those gatherings have become a yearly house music pilgrimage for fans from all over the Five Boroughs. The party embodies the ethos of house music: free for everyone, open to families both blood and chosen, a place where everyone is welcome to groove (or just relax) to uplifting, old-school dance music with inspiring lyrics and bumping basslines.

Sadiq Bellamy, Tabu and Jeff Mendoza have created something truly special, and more and more lately, they've been spreading their gospel outside the park, too. They've become residents at Nowadays, where this RA Podcast was recorded as part of a Mister Sunday party. It was also released as part of the Mister Saturday Night's cassette box set to celebrate the party's 15th birthday. This one features an hour of the cassette's 90-minute runtime, plus an additional 20 minutes only available here. It captures this trio at their soulful best, letting vocal tracks play out long and leisurely with expert blends and gentle transitions. The feelings of warmth, love and welcome land with every kick drum and flow through every bassline.

My radioshow "Eläimien kirjoissa" at Ida radio turned 4 years.
To celebrate this I made a balearic mix for your pleasure. Enjoy!

4 years of Eläimien kirjoissa - The balemix

Eclectic selection as usual. House to balearic to disco. USA to Europe and quick trip to South Africa. Inspired by the famous Finnish food called Italiansalaatti: boiled vegetables in mayonnaise.

KOUHOO DISKOS [House, Balearic, Disco, Eclectic]

The first thing you might realise during a MUSCLECARS set is the sheer musicality of the duo's selections. Vocals glimmer at the centre, unfolding into enchanting, soulful coos, while drums strike captivating rhythms and gilded synths reach towards the sky. It's a jazzy New York house sound mythologised by pioneers like Joe Claussell, Carlos Sanchez and Timmy Regisford (whose songs all make it to this RA Podcast). For years, New York natives Brandon Weems and Craig Handfield have run their Coloring Lessons party as a way to introduce a younger generation to this vital piece of dance music history. In a city that prides itself on fast walking, fast talking and, as of late, fast BPMs, their music is an invitation to ease into a more relaxing pace.

This RA Podcast comes at a golden time for MUSCLECARS. In May, they released their RA-recommended debut album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea!, whose sultry (and undeniably catchy) lead single "Tonight" has gotten the stamp of approval, and a remix, from New York legend Louie Vega. And this Sunday, they hosted their annual Juneteenth block party outside the Lot Radio, where scores of Black dancers latched onto one another during sets from a multigenerational crew of Black DJs including Ron Trent, Lovie, Shawn Dub and MUSCLECARS themselves. This two-hour-plus mix takes us through the spiralling jazz of Herbie Hancock, the flashy disco of The Originals and lands us, finally, in "Water," the track that also closes out Sugar Honey Iced Tea!.
