Joel Hemmen B2B DJ SENC - SLAPCAST069

Using the original beat from The Headhunters (1975) and layering it with a downtempo heavy straight kick pattern, and taking out almost all the vocals, and the Wu-Tang Clan inspired gypsy scale guitar solo -played by Carlos Santana, a sense of space in the mix between fan-opening snares and Wyclef's freestyle, where you can hear more of the ghetto sounds that inspired the latin hip hop original 'Maria Maria'.

Of all the Berlin DJs who make a living spinning strange, I'm-not-sharing-the-tracklist kind of records, Sugar Free, originally hailing from Madrid, might be the most fun. She plays bold, colourful tracks with an air of sci-fi and sleaze, somewhere between Italo, hi-NRG, electro and house. (Her Dimensions Mix last year was one of our favourites of 2023.) She's the kind of DJ who messes with your perception of genres and tempos by how she blends tracks together, and also a DJ with a rare grasp of mixing melodies and moods—just check out the first transition of this RA Podcast for a spine-tingling example.

Sugar Free doesn't speak much publicly, and you won't find a lot about her on the internet. She prefers to let her DJing speak for itself. And her RA Podcast says a lot: proggy basslines, heart-in-mouth descents into reverb-heavy breakdowns, eerie vocals and a general feel of psychedelia and '80s decadence. It's difficult to tell what era these records are from, which is part of the charm. For a bonus point, try and pick out two just-completed Sugar Free originals, some of her first productions ever after her debut track came out on Limousine Dream in 2022.

RA.927 Sugar Free

Immobile, le corps abandonné à son propre poids. Un nouveau centre se construit. La vitesse ne propose que de vaines diffractions sans fond. Le véritable amour n’a pas de forme, il est un réajustement incessant, un animal sauvage se délivrant de ces chaînes. Lorsque l’on croit le posséder il se dérobe et change d’apparence. Pourtant cet animal je le connais depuis toujours, je ne suis jamais très loin de lui. Métamorphose ambiante, j’ouvrirais grands les oreilles pour guider mes pas, quitte à parfois me fondre en cet animal.

FRESHMIX014 - __JFS

Label: Semi Delicious
Artist: Revivis
Format: Vinyl
Cat. Number: SEMID018
EP Title: Surrender The Body Ep
Release Date: 14th June 2024
Support it: https://semidelicious.bandcamp.com/album/semid018-revivis-surrender-the-body-ep

Demi Riquisimo’s Semi Delicious return for their 18th vinyl only excursion via Berlin based Revivis’ ‘Surrender The Body’ EP.

A dance floor focused 4 tracker, the EP is a distillation of the sonic palette quickly becoming synonymous with the sound of Revivis, nodding to the past whilst looking to the future, all through the lens of timeless house fundamentals.

The release kicks off with ‘Pick Me Up’, a diva vocal affected chugger that leans on the 90s progressive aesthetic whilst remaining versatile and current. The A-side wraps up with the title track ‘Surrender The Body’. A minimal fuss, hands in the air, euphoric piano house jam that can be noted for it’s subtlety despite it’s anthemic nature.

No foreplay on the flip as we’re straight into the mixer via ’Perceptions’. A sample heavy four/four beat combines with a bass line that implores your head to nod along a menacing top line.. big peak time business on this one. Closing out a wildy impressive Semi Delicious debut from Revivis is ‘Ruminating’ bringing with it a healthy helping of gospel keys and acid.
