Mas Que Nada Brothers joined us this week and selected 12 tracks: “No eyes is your free ride to the Café Mambos Ibiza to catch the surreal sunset. Claptone is another artist who helped shape my love for electronic music and later influence my sound.”
Tigerbalm, a British female music producer and DJ hailing from Brixton joins us this week: “An absolute classic on the dance floor - this track definitely influenced my sets and productions”.
This week we spoke to UK-based brother duo, Funk Cartel. They selected 10 tracks for their inspirational tunes: “This is one of those tracks that will never leave us and is deep rooted in our musical upbringing - a timeless classic.”
To end off this week’s inspirational tunes special we had a chat with Italian DJ and producer, Olympe: “Thanks to this track I started to conceive, for the first time, the voice as a rhythmic word, full of emotion. Not so much in the meaning of the word itself but in the hypnotic groove it creates.”
Reevoid brought us all the way back to classics such as Pill Driver - Pitch Hiker: “This track from 1995 is definitely a journey that accompanies you from start to finish in total distortion, and it is from here that you can start to fall in love with this hard music genre.”
Today we have Lady Maru on to give us a fresh new selection: “Luciano, Landi and Scuderia Records are for me maybe the most interesting label owners in the Italian underground techno scene. I fell in love with this track and Oliver Kohlenberg is a great hardcore singer. I love it.” Go to the link in bio to check it out!
This week we have a four day special for @djrebekah’s VA called 'Go Hard or Go Hardcore'. Kicking this off we talked to Patrick DSP for his inspirational tunes selection: “When I was young, I loved exploring my dad's records. One album that stood out to me was Sky's version of Bach's "Toccata." It starts as a prog-rock classical number but then fuses into a beat driving electronic trip session. I'll never forget it because it was one of the first times I could remember that music threw a sonic curve ball.”
Polish born and now based in Berlin, DJ Suzie, made an inspirational list to get you set for the weekend:”I remember seeing Nite fleit playing a support slot. Her set blew me away. It was also one of the first times I saw a woman DJing live. Back then, in Poland, it wasn’t as common to see women behind the decks, so it left a lasting impression on me.”
Jesabel, a versatile DJ, vocalist, and producer originally hailing from Sydney, Australia, joins us this week for a fresh list: “I mean this guy is an Aussie god! The opener to his 2nd album - this record is all consuming. Being honest, this isn’t my favourite genre of music but if I saw this live I would have goosebumps even more than I do just listening to it now.”
French artist Slowz was raised in a household where music was deeply ingrained. He told us about 13 tracks for his journey: “Back in 2007, pop music was changing. At that time, rock bands started to put more electro hardware (synths etc.) and sounds into their songs. I remember some band names like Rediscover or Kill Paradise. The Secret Handshake also crossed genres like electronic music and pop rock. I immediately fell in love with Luis Dubuc’s voice.”
French DJ, producer and owner at Groovence Discs named Moonee joins us this week for a fresh selection: “There are few house tracks, in my opinion, that stand the test of time. And without a doubt, this is the one house track I've played the most and enjoyed the most.”
