Slam City Jams is finally back after a little hiatus and happy to welcome our talented buddy Fufi.SNC on the label. Hailing from Ingolstadt, a city one hour away from Munich, Fufi is no stranger to the scene and was on our radar for quite some time now. He is one third of the ever amazing SNC crew, a party and label collective, and has been impressing us with his breakbeat-heavy analog live sets over the past years. After his debut EP on Marlon Hoffstadt’s „Savour The Moment“ label in 2020 he joins the Slam City Jams family with the „Monsterra Mansion“ EP.

We are starting things off with „Back Strike“, a breakbeat monster full of irresistible rave stabs, heavy sub bass and a beautiful crying acid line. Next up you find the hidden hit of this EP: „Raves On Sundays“ featuring the mysterious DJ Kolibri. A tune full of tension, that keeps on building up with a dramatic 303 melody you won’t get out of your head for some time. On the flip we have „Running Home“ - a super deep acid breakbeat affair for the late hours (even though this probably means 10pm these days). Finally the EP is rounded off by the title track: „Monsterra Mansion“ is a stripped back up-tempo four to the floor jam, with a grooving bass and dreamy chords that fans of Roza Terenzi will love. Fufi.SNC treats us with four dope tunes written in times of isolation, but made for days were we all meet again on the floor.

PREMIERE: Fufi.SNC - Monsterra Mansion

Madrid, Malmø, Motor City – the places that influenced the sound behind the pure Electro EP, „M-Technology“. The fifth SNC Recs release fuses elements from very different cities from all around the world.

The musician Dip Shim aka. Diego Ocejo unites on „M-Technology“ the Sounds of Detroit, his roots in Spain, and the current scene of Sweden. Dip Shim has many talents; in his formative years, he was active in the Graffiti scene and working as a graphic designer. Turning his lifestyle into education, he moved to Malmø, getting lost within the city’s artistic bubble. It was within this creative environment, that Dip Shim found a place to start a new project. Since 2020 he runs the record store called „Bolero Record-Store“ and started his own label „Malmø Traxx“. One thing is for sure – he knows what he’s doing. By the way, Dip Shims' first release on his own imprint was a top seller on Juno and sold out after only two weeks.

„M-Technology“ is for sure the perfect soundtrack for your favorite Graffiti Film or a rave night that will hopefully take place soonish. With his full analogue producing style, using legendary equipment like the MPC2000 and a selection of classic Roland drum machines, Diego created an outstanding 4 track, full Electro EP which will probably heat up a lot of Dancefloors in the near future.

DJ Life x Solar Suite Live @Tabula Rasa 2021

As part of the current wave of Aussie producers that are making a name for themselves with their contemporary take on 90’s-influenced prog house and trance-y goodness, Solar Suite is responsible for delivering some serious tunes in recent times. Off the back of his recent EP for On Rotation, we got in touch with our Aussie mate to talk about his latest record, upcoming Europe tour and forthcoming EP on Haŵs, and he’s graced us with 60 minutes of high-paced dance floor blends, paying homage to those hazy 6am dance floor moments.

One the many treasures of the UK underground, Jane Fitz has long given her life to music and the sharing of all the many gems that she finds on her travels. And travel she does. Any selector centric festival, event or club night and there is a high chance that Jane has either played there, or is due to take her place on the stage. While her own musical output is sparse what she does share with the world is uniquely Jane Fitz, full of soul, meaning and backed by many years of experience.

Here’s Kantocast Kantocast021 blue Dietrich - “Sketches Of Latin America”

Changing the codes of electronic music, blue Dietrich is an alternative project driven by musician and sound engineer Felipe Paiva. From its conception in 2019, his unique way of producing electronic music has opened the doors to iconic independent labels like Bar25 and Café de Anatolia, as well as festivals like Burning Man and Chateau Perché.

*What pushed you towards music production? Where did the inspiration come from?
I’ve always had this inner need to express my creativity, and it could be in any domain. For me, music was the “tool” that was most adapted (it fits my geek side, it has a certain technicity for instrument learning, it has an incredible power on people), and so it was a perfect match to me. 
When producing, my inspiration comes from the music I hear around me, independently of the style. I actually don’t listen much to electronic music! Instead, I’m more into world music, rock,  jazz, pop, and then I feel the need of “changing” something, adding a certain flavor to something I’ve heard somewhere. What I love in electronic music is this DIY simplicity; you don’t need a full band, a studio and money, everything can be done with few things, and really quickly.

* Do you think music interconnects with culture? How does the environment you live in affect your music?
Music as an expression of culture. The harmonies, scales, instruments, rhythms, everything in music is materializing certain aspects of a culture. Maybe the composer / interpreter doesn’t even know it consciously, but it’s there.
For blue Dietrich, I try to make the people “travel” between different cultures and vibes. To be able to create a certain vibe with the audience, it is really important that I “deconstruct” the music I hear, so that I can “pick” different elements which I’ll then use to create the “flavours” of a certain culture and/or mood. In my point of view, the best way of doing this is to listen to music and travel, “live” things with my own eyes and ears, so that I can better “feel” things, capture them, and then add my “signature” elements, which keep an overall coherence of my work. 

* Do you get inspired by any other form of art?
Yes, mainly cinema. It helps a lot to “dive” into a vibe and get the music out of it.

* What makes a set a good one?
In my point of view, the capacity to take the audience into a trip, through different cultures and emotions. But this is a personal choice; sometimes people just want to dance to the beat and decompress…that’s fine for me too :)

* What’s the process you follow when bringing tunes together? Is it instinctive only or do you plan ahead?
I’ve been mainly playing only live sets since 2 years now, so I tend to compose music oriented to this. I let go of this constraint of making “songs”; I write music which are sometimes just interludes, or themes which are not even electronic music at all. 
Then the process of playing live to me is to define a “plot”, a “script” of where I’m going to take the public to. A “desert” vibe? A “latin” vibe? a “city nights” vibe? Then which moods, “ironic”, “playful”, “sensual”, etc. Once I have this in mind, the choice of the music to be used flows easily, and most of the time I compose some new music for each set, which I “test” to see how the public (and me!) feel it

FTF #008 - jxck

So on the first weekend that the lockdown and social distancing measures were announced here in Scotland, I went downstairs to my basement studio as I often do for a wee music session. 

That night however I was charged with a weird energy and my thoughts were packed with what was going on. My emotions were also running high still from an amazing first few months of 2020 starting with Mareh festival in Brasil followed by a visit to Rio and Sao Paulo for more high tempo and full power emotional gigs. On coming back to Scotland I played my first night at the new venue in my city, Kings. It was very special. Then it was straight back to Rio for my first ever Carnaval  followed by a weekender in the USA -  NYC, Miami and finishing up at the excellent Okeechobee festival playing b2b with my disco brother JKriv and the Gouranga clan. Phew!
 
Then next thing I knew…I was in my basement studio. Everything was about the virus and what was to come, all future plans on ice. My income had gone from healthy to zilch. And there was whisky to be drunk and a mix to be made. So that’s the backstory. I poured my heart and soul into it that night. It felt right. It felt good. It featured moments still fresh in my mind from all those parties that kicked off 2020. I hope those people can feel and remember the moments the same way I can. I put them in for you and for us to share and remember being together as one. As such I wanted it to be a global mix. That is, one that featured music from all around the world: Asia, South America, USA, Canada, Africa, Europe, Australia, China, India, New Zealand, Turkey, Israel and more! Many of it is from friends. People I am fortunate enough to meet on my travels, spend time with and call friends in this wonderful world of ours.
 
I wanted it to be a mix that did something to help others. I know so many musicians, DJs and other people who are going to be in such deep trouble because their livelihoods just stopped. And because so many of us didn’t realize how much we music people have become dependent on live gigs and performing in a digitally driven music world. And this is before we even start to think about people who are way worse off than us music people…. Vulnerable people, refugees, homeless people in every city who need our help urgently. I also knew from the start who I did this mix for. I did it for Gouranga because they have supported what I do and my vibe for some time now. It’s nice to have someone who gets it and supports you. They are good people and I knew they would share my values and direction with the mix.
 
So here it is. And here we are now. Stuck in this crazy situation and in this fast changing world. I hope you enjoy the vibes and my music. I hope you are safe and being kind to others. And most of all if you dig it I hope you will give something if you can afford it to help others in worse situations. People really do need your help. And we must be bigger than this, or the bastards will win. Below are the links to our chosen list of charities. Or just choose some charity you prefer. But please be kind to them. Also please check out my new Bandcamp page and those of others artists you like as these are now one our main source of income. So if you need some music in your lives to get through these long days…then buy it direct from the artist!!! Thank you.

And if you dance at home to the mix or use it for some kind of virtual party please let us know somehow by posting and tagging us so we can spread the word. 
Love you all - Dicky & The Gouranga Clan xxx

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's our very own DJ Nortside flying close to the sun with this fire mix for us to close out the year with!

If you saw this Dublin-born DJ & producer in action back when parties were a thing (often in combination with fellow Raider Turk or rocking a hardware-live-set for jpeg.love or $ombi to spit over), you know his selection is as bang on as it is bangin'. In this ecstatic 37-minute Mix, he reveals himself once more as a conaisseur of the classics - effortlessly juggling Dance Mania, Teklife and Jungle staples into one another while maintaining a keen eye for newly released heaters both within and outside of the Raiders Cinematic Universe.

A Raider since birth, this man has played a huge part in our little collective blossoming into a label and platform for banging music - all while keeping his blends fresh, his MPC well-oiled and his peach floating in perfume and served in a man's hat. So make sure to appreciate this legend by slamming a Bucky and dancing around the gaff. Now we're sucking Diesel!
