Groove Boys Project - Liberty Street [ZOLL002]

MM Cast 03: RAFA

Spanish born dj, Rafa has built thru the years a vast knowledge of electronic (and not electronic) music, this obsessed digger has one of the most "well-handpicked" record collections in Berlin. His addiction to vinyls is well reflected on his sets where Rafa vary from Balearic to House, elektro, wave and some (almost) forgotten gems.

If we talk about Rafa we must mention "Way to Calypso", what it started as a brand of selected dj mixes where the Balearic Beat was the main character, evolved into an amazing youtube channel where to get lost in. A notorious music library made for the ones who loves to discover new music every day and where our friend Rafa shows a little slice of his huge record collection.

He has signed some mixes for infamous label and radio "Cómeme" where the spanish dj shows his skills entering in darker territories as Trance, new beat and synth wave.

Rafa has shared the booth with dj's from the likes of Vladimir Ivkovic, JASS and Estimulo to name a few and, last but not least, he is also one of the minds behind the berliner party collective "Ceremony", brand that has earned itself a great reputation on the underground local scene.

A man who feels the music in a different way, basically wakes up and goes to bed with some beat in his hears, constantly moving forward on the long way to Calypso.

Berlin based talent Black Loops arrives on Madhouse Records to deliver his four-track ‘JAH Love’ EP this April, featuring two cuts alongside Nikoss.

With releases on Toy Tonics, Freerange, Pets Recordings and Neovinyl to name just a few, Riccardo Paffetti aka Black Loops has built a stellar reputation as one of house music's most consistent and impressive names since making his production debut back in 2013. A skilful hand both within the studio and behind the decks, the Italian's slick blend of deep and soulful house music takes cues and inspiration from funk, disco and beyond, with his latest batch of productions coming in the form of his ‘JAH Love’ EP on Madhouse Records this April, featuring New Zealand producer and musician Nikoss.

Title track ‘JAH Love’ opens the package through a smooth blend of skipping percussion, infectious vocal samples and funk heavy instrumentation, before ‘Your Mind’ introduces the first of two productions alongside Nikoss as rich piano melodies and acid-tinged bass patterns merge effortlessly throughout the track’s six-and- a-half-minute duration.

On the flip, ‘NYC Dirty Talks’ takes a trip across the Atlantic as resonant pads and slick drum licks combine to reveal a production that would find itself perfectly at home within any Kerri Chandler set, before rounding out proceedings with the bubbling 303 driven ‘Silly Acid’ once again in partnership with Nikoss, guided by bright keys, soft chords and vibrant low-end tones.

Our next release comes courtesy of rising talent Pandar and oh boy have we got a treat for you.

Entitled ‘Missing You’ the EP is an exemplary showcase of the young producer’s deep knowledge and commitment to what we at Rhythm Department deem to be the golden era of house music. With a persistent nod to labels such as Tribal America/UK it is clear that Pandar’s experience well proceeds his age.

The lead track ‘Missing You’ is a journey of silky arpeggiators and eerie, yet inviting vocals. The track evolves throughout with a building sense of mystique which erupts in a glorious crescendo. Trust us when we say this goosebumps are a common side effect.

The EP progresses with ‘All I Want To Do’ a shuffled sax delight that teases a somewhat familiar vocal throughout.

For track 3 Pandar brings in help from Harry Oscillate an extremely exciting talent in his own right to produce ‘Time To Bump’ a bouncy, acid fuelled roller that perfectly showcases both producer’s skillsets.

Last but most definitely not least label founder and previous release artist Swales steps up with his interpretation of ‘Time To Bump’ with his ‘Vibe Mix’. We hear influences of early Italo House records cut with live sax and piano solos.

RDR004 will be released on 20th November 2020 and will be available to stream and purchase on all your favourite sites. If you can’t wait until then you can pre-order the EP over on our Bandcamp page where you can receive one track prior to release.
