Rollover Djs' exclusive mix | M2o for CLUBS

This week on Topshelf we're delighted to have with us German DJ, edit extraordinaire & Smile for a While head, Mr. Fonk.

A vinyl collector, Disco lover and 22 year veteran DJ, Mr. Fonk has built up an incredibly rich knowledge and passion for dance music, starting in the 80's with Italo disco, new wave, new romantics and Radio pop, which was later strengthened through the 90's with the addition of House and Techno.

Playing all over Germany in the mid 2000's, Mr. Fonk decided to start his own events series in 2011, which has seen him go on to host the likes of Johannes Albert, Move D, Phonk D & Vakula to name a few.
He'd then built on the events to form his label under the same name which has seen releases from artists including Duccio, Kolja Gerstenberg, Matthieu Faubourg and Monosoul.

We came across his work however, when we stumbled across his frightfully delicious edit of Nacht und Nebel's 'Victoria 2000' and later, onto his discocentric edit of Two Tons O' Fun's  'Earth Can Be Just Like Heaven'.

And now with a 2hr Disco mix for the ages, we're overjoyed to bring you Topshelf 091 w/ Mr. Fonk ( @cracked-a ). Enjoy

The Library LMD Presents Topshelf 091 w/ Mr. Fonk

Excerpt from Sneaker's legendary Set at Automaticamore back in July 2023.

🌞🍁⚡️

Sneaker wrote us earlier about his selection:
"As my old promo sticker proudly declares - in the past I explored Chicago - Italo - Synth!
The selection here however is stringing together Canadian electronic disco from the golden age in the early 80s. I honestly can't imagine for whom they produced it and whether or where Canadians danced to it. Only via Rams Horn some licensed records found their way to Central Europe (the Dutch were early fans of Italo Disco, too).
The Canadians take on the topic is professional, honed by a top notch production, warm like early Italo and has better but equally simple and generic lyrics. They somewhat co-shaped the Hi NRG sound (yet without gay connotations) and were even more rooted in disco, soul and funk than the Italians (no Krafty influences; like in Chicago for example).
Unlike in Italo the "oeuvre" is tiny, limited and overseeable. There is little gems, rare or private pressings. Who knows why also the markets were so different back then?
And the present of Canatalo?
The hype only starts here!

Credits and props:
I picked up these records here and there, often in the US, of course researched on discogs, peeking on what the eponymous female DJ Automaticamore is doing in Toronto, originally inspired by the cover version of Lost In Love by the Parallax Corporation.
Excuse that I sneaked in a Gertalo juwel by our project Bionda e Lupo and finished with the mad classic by UK punk band Crass.
Fun in the oven for Sane, my dear! I hope you join again soon!"

Hysteric - Halloween A Parigi 2023 (Hell On Earth)

Body Talk is a party concept in Antwerp run by John Noseda  (We Can Dance, Body Talk, Running Back) & Bordel. Also a radio show now once a month on WAV with local to international guests.

This month’s guest mix comes from Hysteric.

If we’re talking about contemporary edit maestros, Hysteric‘s name would definitely be up there. With a penchant for the sounds of the 80s, the Melbourne-based DJ, producer and label boss has been adding his subtle touch to oddball rarities and stone-cold classics alike, crafting his own personal takes on Italo, new wave, new beat and synth-pop discoveries.

Delivering the goods for mix number 08 is talented producer and selector, COHN! 

COHN is a producer and DJ from London, who has released a number of records on Kitsune, Nervous Records, and recently a belting EP on Mister T records.

This mix was put together as a tribute to Disco from all over the world, incorporating songs from Egypt, India, Europe, and the US. He focused on bringing interesting vinyl releases over traditional House music that gives the set much more of a selector energy when compared to a long club mix. This speaks to the shows he's been playing recently and his shift away from traditional Dance music DJing, towards bringing vibes that are both exploratory and fun.

Islander Cast (#8) - COHN

Yet another my selection mixed with vinyl records only. You will listen to rarities, classics and some underrated Italo Disco tracks.
Registerd live with two turntable and an old 90s mixer.
Enjoy and thanks for listening!
