Nestled within the fields and forests surrounding Oslo you’ll find Raaja Bones. There, in Raaja’s secluded studio surrounded by vintage synthesisers, modular equipment, samplers and drum machines, is where he makes music that owes as much to his personal tastes as it does his identity and upbringing. ‘Black Dreams’, released 2nd July on Snorkel Records, is where this venn diagram of influences overlap, from the shimmer of e-funk and the effortless grooves of soul to the unashamed, heartfelt honesty of 80s pop.

RAPHAEL TOP-SECRET & NELSON BISHOP - GET ENOUGH

Legendary DJ Daniele Baldelli, who was resident at the infamous Cosmic Club on Lake Garda and pioneer of the ‘cosmic’ sound, joins forces with Italian maestro DJ Rocca and takes File Under Disco on a journey into outer disco space.
Famous as an extremely eclectic and open-minded DJ, here Baldelli transports this approach to the production of ‘Funknoizer’. And in the hands of a master producer like Rocca the result is a track which fuses Dub, Afro, Disco and electronic elements seamlessly into a tasty alternative discoid brew.
Remix action comes from Brasilian duo Selvagem (big fans of Baldelli) who’s reputation grows and grows with every spin of each record and every release that passes through their talented hands. Here they dress the original in leopard skin pants and throw into into an all night, outdoor carnival party where anything goes.
Next up Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco take the original on a heads down Disco trip and work it to the bone. Live driving bass, funky clav and a glorious piano line do a wonky waltz with the the Afro dub essentials of the original. 
Finally the man himself DJ Rocca treats us to a very classy disco boogie version that would have rocked legendary parties back in the halcyon days of NYC Disco.  Out now!

Rinder & Lewis – Willie And The Hand Jive (G-Wiz vocal edit)

The Mushrooms Project are well known for their sleazy mid-tempo laid-back percussive style, a sound that immediately resonated with rising stars and newly signed label mates Earthboogie. 

Specifically it was ‘Dubby Bolas’ from the Italian duo’s 2016 album ‘Rivea Corymbosa’ album that really excited Earthboogie and equally, the Mushrooms were fans of the afro disco sound the Londoners displayed on their debut track ‘Route Ten To Interzone’.

The mutual appreciation led to this remix project which was released on Record Store Day 2018 and showcases their complementary productions styles which collide with great effect.

Roberto Lodola is an Italian DJ, composer, and record producer. His career began at the Mondo Blu disco in Busseto (Parma) in 1982. He is certainly one of the leading famous DJ’s and promoters of a music genre called "Afro-Funky-Cosmic," a blend of various musical styles such as Electronic, Afrobeat, Funky, Disco, Brazilian, Balearic Sound, Jazz Fusion, Rare Groove, Oriental, Reggae, etc. His search for records is continuous and ever-evolving, always staying attuned to new trends and releases that align with his style. 

Since the early '80s, he has been involved in and later organized major events called "Afroraduni," DJ meetings that attracted up to 4000/5000 people to dance to this alternative music, foreshadowing the Rave Party scene but with different musical genres. These experiences led him in the ‘90s to the full management of several dance clubs and the artistic direction of various events and clubs, which he continues to do to this day.

In 1983, he began a collaboration with African percussionist George Aghedo, who played his magical percussion instruments in DJ sets at the Futura disco in Parma. This collaboration resulted in several successful record productions, such as "Zanzibar Helen" in 1985, which became the theme song for a TV program on Canale 5, and "Marimba do Mar" in 1986, a classic hit of Balearic Sound.

Starting in 1983, he introduced synthesizers and electronic drums into his sessions, and from 1987, he also incorporated a sampler to create live arrangements and remixes for the dance floor. It was with these technologies that "African Rhythms" was born, released under the pseudonym "Rhythm Factory" in 1991. This production achieved great success in the UK, with the version "A Touch of Jazz" catching the attention of Gilles Peterson and climbing high on the Acid Jazz charts. In 2005, the track was featured on two prestigious international compilations: the French "Saint Germain des Prés Cafe' vol.7" on the Wagram label (Buddha Bar) and the London-based "Get this party started!" on "Expansion," alongside names like James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Michael Bublé, and Fatback Band.

In the early '90s, his relentless musical exploration led him to innovate across the "Afro Funky-Alternative Sound" spectrum. Consequently, he began presenting tracks with more modern sounds, always in line with his style. As a devoted fan of Brazilian music, he introduced the emerging "Samba Reggae/Axe," creating a distinct trend that influenced the new wave of alternative Italian clubs with a "New Afro Style-Ethno Beat-World Music" sound.

Since 2008, he has embarked on the "One-Night 70 No Limit" project dedicated to Funky, Obscure Disco, Nu Disco, and Rare Groove music, which continues to enjoy tremendous success at Le Ruote Disco Club.

Since 2016, he has shared the "Trittico" One-Night with Daniele Baldelli, dedicated to three legendary '80s venues: Cosmic, Futura, and Baia Degli Angeli.

Since 2021, he relocated his summer residence to Ibiza, bringing his eclectic and modern DJ sets to venues such as Pikes, Kumharas, Space, Malanga, EsXiringuito, Nagai Ibiza, Pacha (Funky Room), Sunset Ashram, The Standard, Raco Verd, Mesa Ibiza, Chirincana, Homies party at Pikes Ibiza, Casa Bonay Barcelona, Playasol Ibiza Radio, Ibiza Sonica and Ibiza Global Radio. His Balearic residency has also inspired numerous new productions, with over 25 new songs in the last two years. Today, he boasts a presence in over 300 clubs across Italy and Europe.

Roberto Lodola's career exemplifies his dedication to music exploration and innovation, cementing his status as a prominent figure in the world of electronic music and DJ culture.
