Soulful House Vol. 8 - Swingin' Chicago House

I am so glad that a new style is gaining more and more popularity: The Chicago Sound, a mixture of Jazz, Blues and Swing is being recreated and mixed up with jackin' House Beats.

You sure know some of these old tunes that were played when gramophones - imagine a 1210 just with unsteady single speed but with build-in speaker limited to 11 KHz sound - were modern.
So this sound really works great combined with House and there've been so many great tunes released in the last time that i decided to put them (and some older ones) together into a mix.

Some of this tunes are already my alltime fav's and i play them whenever i can, thats a style i really love. Guys, check it out. Swing is the new Funk!

01. Jazzbit - Sing, Sing, Sing (Extended Mix)

Revisited House Chapter 6 - House Classics 1994 - 1996

It seems that House Classics are getting popular again. Recently i've heared many old tracks being played in different radio shows.
You can hear samples of these Classics in many new released songs and many Classics are put together and re-issued on compilations nowadays.

Well so i went through my collection and picked some of the most impressive songs from 1994 to 1996.
This was the time when House Music really got me and also gained popularity. You could see more House tracks played on video stations than today.

It's still hard to find some of these tracks, glad i had many of them already, but eBay is your friend, as long as they aren't buyable in digital form yet.
I know there are still some crackers missings like Daft Punk or Funky Green Dogs, they'll appear in the next mix for sure.

So enjoy this trip back in the days when music was happy and made you happy!

ADE 2009: Purple Music Night Party

Hey folks!
It's only 2 days til the Party of the Year, the Purple Music Night Party in Amsterdam, hold at the Amsterdam Dance Event. I'm already really excited, soo many great DJs and producers will be there to play some funky and soulful music :)
Look out for me there, and if you go there, why not drop me a line before?

Ok, meanwhile i had some troubles with my laptop i'm using for DJing, everything is fine now again, and i've selected already many tracks for the next mixes.
From now on there will be at least two Soulful House Mixes per month. So make sure you check back regularly or grab the RSS feed.

I'll be back after the party with a review and a new mix..... See ya!

Party review:
I just came back from the party and must say: THIS WAS GREAT!

The party in the main room went off when Anthony Romeno was behind the decks, after him played DJ Meme and the crowd went mad. Both played, of course, some of their tracks but this was what the people wanted.

After them the Master himself, Jamie Lewis played some great great stuff. At about 4 a.m. there were just about 100 people left and a bunch of 50 people stayed until the end with Alfredo Azzetto.

I hadn't much time to check the small room, but i guess Panevino did a good job there too. Oh yeah and the Souldynamic duo from italy was there too with some friends, thanks for the promo cd, guys ;)
Big shouts also to DJ Soulmate from Summerfondue! See you next year.

The Latin Hustle Vol. 3

At first i gotta say sorry for the delay, it took me some more weeks as i thought until i got back to mixing and could finish this mix.
But i can asure you, the waiting time was worth it! For the last time this year i'm bringing you a new Latin-House Mix.

In Volume 3 we have this time some cheesy and uplifting tunes at the same time. Again, this mix brings you some very rare tracks you might not know, like "Latin Quarter" from Lenny Fontana - it just came out as a promo in 2003.

Another hot track here is the Full Intention production "Awa Band" from 2001 with their track "Tudo Lindo", the follow up of their big hit "Timba".
But one of the highlights for me is Boris Dlugoschs Remix of Edesio's "Blen Blen" from 1999. A massive party track!

Have fun with this mix and please leave some feedback here :)

Tracklist:
1. Original Soulboy feat. Monica Vasconcelos - Touch The Sun (Carnival Mix)
2. Fluide feat. Baccara - Voce (É O Meu Amor) (Club Mix)
3. Mezzoforte - Garden Party (S.O.L. Brazil Mix)
4. Dubtribe Sound System - Do It Now (Knee Deep Club Mix)
5. Edesio vs. Boris Dlugosch - Blen Blen (Club Tropicana Mix)
6. Rey De Copas - Frontera Del Ensueno (Bloated Mix)
7. Awa Band - Tudo Lindo (Full Intention Club Mix)
8. DJ Chus and David Penn feat. Caterina - Baila

Purple Music Night (Amsterdam 23.10.)

I just wanted to give you some updates as i'm back from my vacation ...

• I uploaded some new music videos from back in the days to YouTube, check out my channel...
• The summer is coming to an end here but i will do another Latin-House Mix, check back in the next days...
• I fixed some download links for the mixes...
• As the HedKandi party was not as expected, i'm now excited and looking forward to the Purple Music Night in Amsterdam on 23rd October. I'll grab my ticket soon, if you're going there too, drop me a message. Meanwhile check out this amazing line-up:

Party-Review: Headache statt HedKandi

Eigentlich wollte ich dieses mal gar kein so schlechtes Résumé ziehen, aber als ich dann grad um kurz nach 2 Uhr mit Pfeifen auf den Ohren aus dem Club kam, war das schon ein Abfuck! Aber von Anfang an:

Die erste Stunde hab ich verpasst, ich war erst gegen kurz vor 23 Uhr im Club, es war relativ leer, vielleicht ein Dutzend Gäste. Dafür war die Musik erstaunlich gut und bis Mitternacht liefen richtig funky und soulful Musik, viele der etwa auf 100 Leute angewachsenen Gäste tanzten oder groovten mit.

Kurz nach Mitternacht das selbe Spiel wie letztes Mal: Stilwechsel. Ich versteh' ja, dass HedKandi viele Genres abdeckt, aber ich bin nun mal kein Fan von 7-Minuten Liedern mit einem oder zwei sich ständig wiederholenden Samples. Also gings knapp 'ne Stunde mit diesem dark&boring Sound weiter, bis dann von 1 bis 2 Uhr etwas kommerziellere Musik lief, viele bekannte Sachen. Dazu gabs 'ne Mini-Performance am Saxophon und an den Congas. Alles schon wesentlich besser gesehen, aber ok, der Gedanke zählt.

Hier mal die Pros und Kontras im Überblick:

• Mindestens 18€! 13€ Eintritt, 1€ Garderobe und 4€ Mindestverzehr die vorher bei der Veranstaltungs-Werbung nirgendwo kommuniziert wurden. Auch auf der Karte kein Hinweis, ebenso wenig vom Personal. Ein kleiner Zettel beim Bezahlen und irgendwo am Eingang soll also reichen, denken sich die Herren. (Ich will nicht kleinlich sein, aber wieso steht man nicht dazu und kommuniziert das vernünftig?)
  
• Kein stilles Wasser! Wie beim letzten Mal gabs kein stilles Wasser im Club und an Säften nur O-Saft. Klingt wie bei Mäces - nicht nach einem Club der seinen Gästen was bieten will. Nicht jeder kann oder will Alkohol trinken!
• Zu laute Musik! Wenn man nach 3h im Club mit Pfeifen auf den Ohren rausgeht (dabei stand ich nicht mal mitten auf der Tanzfläche, wo es wesentlich lauter ist) stimmt was nicht. Die Anlage war oft derart übersteuert, sowas hab ich selten gesehen, vor allem war es
• mit einigen Hundert Leuten deutlich leerer als letztes Mal. Wohl zu wenig Werbung gemacht diesmal.
• Den anderen Raum hab ich mir nicht angeschaut, aber es gab einen.
• Live Saxophon und Percussions waren nett gemeint aber schlecht umgesetzt.

Im Grunde eher Negativ-Werbung fürs Label. Ich zumindest werde nur noch zu Parties mit den DJs hingehen, deren Sound mir gefällt.

Revisited House Chapter 5 - Funkin' Fantasies

The music in the past has been funky. Extremely funky! You sure remember the music that came up in the late 90s with lots of funky disco-filtered stuff. Well, in Chapter 5 we don't go back so far, but all tracks are at least five years old.

I did a selection of some great Chicago House and French Filter-House tracks. This mix is for all of you who like the up-tempo funky and melodic sound that never gets boring and keeps you busy on the floor.

The Rhythm Masters (Robert Chetcuti and Steve Mac) did so many great remixes in the late 90s, they inspired a lot of musicians with their distinctive disco-filtered sound. One of their last Singles was "The Underground" with amazing vocals, this one still burns on the floor. As you see, Fedde Le Grand did some funky stuff too in his early days.

1. Hool vs Bruckheimer - In The Beginning (Mark Knight and Martijn Ten Velden Remix)

The Latin Hustle Vol. 2 - Latin-House Party Anthems

It's sizzling hot outside almost everywhere in Europe right now (except here in Germany of course), so it's time for me to bounce back with a new issue of The Latin Hustle series. Like the first one, Volume 2 comes with some of the best and smoking hot Latin House tunes.

It's better if i don't tell you when most of these tracks came out - you can look up in Discogs if you like - it has been a while ;-) Nevertheless they are timeless for me and still fresh for the floor, although not many of them have received the needed attention yet.

I'm pretty sure that you know some tracks like the great Latin House anthem from the Tanga Chicks, Lego's "Ritmo De Verdad" or Crystal Clear's "Gypsy Love". My favourite track here is "Ron Con Con" from the Self Made Guys, two of them are Gianni Bini & Alex Neri and still today very popular.

Ok, stop reading and grab the mix. But caution, this mix is muy caliente!

Tracklist:
1. Combo Cubano - S.C.
2. Secret Service - Conga (Fernet and Branco '04 Dub Mix)
3. Tanga Chicks feat. Dimitri and Tom - Brazil Over Zurich (Original Mix)
4. Ian Pooley feat. Esthero - Balmes (Pooley's New Vocal Mix)

If you like classic 70s disco music, shiny disco balls, afro heads, funky moves and bell-bottoms ... i got a hot movie tip for ya: Disco - Le Film, a french production from 2008.

Of course, the story is quite simple but the actors (with Gérard Depardieu) and the dancing scenes are great and so is the film worth watching!

It features not only 70s disco music from Boney M. und Eartha Kitt but also some fresh tunes from Cerrone (Laisser toucher).

Check it out, here's a funny trailer:

Party-Review: HedKandi Cologne Opening Party

The long awaited HedKandi Cologne Party took place last weekend, but to say it in few words: Nothing for real house music lovers!

Ok, the location was great, also the decoration was. Jamie played some nice (commercial) uplifting house tunes in the first two hours. But after midnight the music changed and Jamie and Wez played tunes you've heared over and over again. Mainstream Tech- and Electro-House, nothing fresh, innovative or special, maybe two good tracks per hour. I saw some other people being frustrated from this same old sound you hear in Cologne for years now.

Let's hope it's gonna be better the next parties! More funky and soulful, bringing us the real HedKandi feeling from UK and not trying to fit into the contemporary german music.

Check out the HedKandi party pics.

Lounge House Vol. 3 (Latin Lounge House)

Here we go again with a laid-back and soulful latin-flavoured Mix, the Lounge House Volume 3.

This Mix is peppered with many high addictive tracks you won't get out of your head for some time.
I did a test-drive with this mix while i was on holiday in sicily, it fits perfectly with summer, beach and cocktails!

Phil Asher's Restless Soul Mix of Portuguese Love is a masterpiece of Latin House Music, perfectly composed and arranged. My favourite one here is Alix Alvarez' Mix of Minimoogli's 99,9 - it's a real stomper.

Make sure you don't miss this one!

Tracklist:
1. The Latin Project - Lei Lo Lai (Jez Colin Remix)
2. Sasha Alazy feat. Mel - In My Mind (Afro Soul Mix)
3. Tiefschwarz feat. Joy Denalane - Music (Latin Extended)

Short Vacation

Hi Fellaz,

i'll be out for a short 7-day trip to Sicily, the weather there is just wonderful right now, 32° :) Perfect for relaxing on the beach with a cocktail while listening to some Lounge House Music.

I've already a new mix - Vol. 3 - in store for you, so check back in June to get some fresh latino Lounge-House sounds.

HedKandi goes Cologne

HedKandi is coming to town - MY TOWN! That's something like a miracle for me... finally there's some soulful house sound in the city. And - it's getting better... it won't be only a one-stop party, it's gonna be a monthly thing! I still can't believe that... :-))

DJ's at the first party, which is going to be on 6th June will be Wez Clarke and Jamie Richards. The Party will be (just 10 minutes from me) in the "Opernterassen", starting 10:00 p.m. More infos in german here.

I'll be wearing a t-shirt with my website on the back, so if you (one of my readers) will be there, drop me a line before the party or just look at me right there. Would be great to talk with some house music lovers.

There will be some people from the Houseboard.de community on the party as well, so get your ass on the floor and lets have a great party ;-)

Discotex - I Can Cast A Spell (Video 2001)

I checked YouTube lately for videos of my favourite songs and i wondered that some were missing, like this one: Discotex pres. Cloudburst - I can cast a spell from 2000/2001. This tune was a big hit in the clubs worldwide and in Germany of course. It was produced by the people behind Full Intention.

The first version (which was played in the clubs) came out with an original sample from Chaka Khan's "I'm every woman". Later, Shena sung the vocals for the offical release, this was one of her very first big hits.

So, i put the video in, click and enjoy it:

As you see, some of these tracks are produced or remixed by BMR (Boris Dlugosch & Michi Lange), they were one of the hottest german team around at that time and did a lot for the House Music Scene, along with Mousse T, Wackside and other people.

Blog success / Hercules DJ Console RMX

I am pretty amazed about the success of my blog! =:o) Within two months the blog got Pagerank 3 by Google, and wouldn't that be great enough, i got over 500 downloads of my mixes so far as well as great feedback on the music i am selecting.

I am still working on linking my blog on other sites and directories, lately i got many visitor though "Stumple Upon", great site! Please bookmark my blog where ever you like and visit it regularly ;-)

Yesterday i finally got my new mixer, the Hercules DJ Console RMX, it makes a lot of fun mixing and playing with it. But i am still unsure, if the Virtual DJ software is as good as Traktor or Final Scratch, regarding the sound quality. What do you think? Drop me a line...

The Latin Hustle Vol. 1 - Latin-House Party Anthems

The years 2003-2004 have been the best in my eyes for the Latin-House genre. Most of my favourite songs came out in these years. Starting with Volume 1, "The Latin Hustle" series brings you some of the best latin Party Anthems you can't miss. You may know some of these, but i guarantee you, i put in some sensational tunes which haven't been recognized by the masses (yet). Electro Blues' Mia Mao Minha Gente for example reminds me a lot of my holidays in Sicily where this tune has been a massive party hit in the clubs.

Mixing latin tunes isn't always that easy, so i hope you'll ignore some minor mixing difficulties ;-)

Club and Tech-House Vol. 1

I know you guys like it ruff rough and progressive sometimes. Me too :-)

So i randomly selected some of my fave tracks of this genre and did a Club- and Tech-House Mix flavoured with some Dark-House / Twisted Disco and Electro.

I guess you will know (more or less) most of these tracks, but i promise you there are no fillers in this set!

Starting with some commercial happy summer hits from last year, the Mix gets more physical with ATFC's 10-year Re-Edit of his big hit "Bad Habit", still one of my all time favourites. The Mac Project did a very good Cover of Gusto's "Disco Revenge", arranged with new vocals. Later on there's a feature of the bulgarian act "Planet Magic Live" (dudes check out the video). Very hard to find this song, so check it out!

The Mix closes with DJ Spens amazing "Wild West" Mix of Teddy Douglas' "Whatcha Gonna Do" and the Soul Survivors stand up for bringing back the good ol' times, where "Music was my L.O.V.E".

Small Updates: New Mixes / Comments

Hi Fellaz,

just wanted to give you a small news update. This week finally the Winter Music Conference arrived in Miami again! :) We're all excited about news and releases...
I'm still working on the promotion for my blog, linking it on Directories and Blog-Sites. I'd appreciate if you link to my blog and - after downloading a mix - if you leave a short comment here.
Next Mixes from me will be: Soulful, Classic Disco and Funky/Vocal. Stay tuned...

11 years ago: Speed Garage

Lately, i've been thinking about the music that was played eleven years ago: Speed Garage. This hype swapped over the channel to Europe in 1998.

I remember the first tracks i heared. It was Armand van Helden's Remix of Tori Amos' track Professional Widow and Sneaker Pimps' Spin Spin Sugar. Followed soon by Todd Terry's Something Goin' on, Lisa Stansfield's The Line or, one of my favourites, Gisele Jackson's Love Commandments, of course talkin' about the Remixes from Loop da Loop. Some other great tunes, i still love them, are De'Lacy's Hideaway, Gunman from 187 Lockdown and Sound Bwoy Burial from Gant. Les Indiscretes (moniker of Olav Basoski) did some decent tunes too, another oustanding track for me is A vs B - Ripped in 2 Minutes.

A track that i strongly recommend and still love to play is: The Funk Junkeez (a moniker of Roger Sanchez) with Got Funk? (Heavy on da Bass Mix). Check it out!

Update May 2009: I finally did a Speed Garage Classics Mix, grab it now!

DJ Meme Orchestra - Any Love

Since ever i loved Chaka Khan's "Any love" (video) from 1979, one of her less known tracks. Over the years it has been remixed often, sometimes good, sometimes average, sometimes poor. Absolutely great voice and lyrics.
Some years ago DJ Memê became one of my favourite producers / remixers of this time. He did some excellent remixes like Fish Go Deep's "The Cure & The Cause", Panevino's "The Best of Me" or Groove Junkies' "Dr. Feelgood". I simply love his philly-styled Disco-Orchestra Sound.

Now guess what happened? Right. DJ Memê did a Re-Edit of Chaka Khan's classic. The tune is to be released soon, some promo videos are available on YouTube (below). But very spectacular is also the Making Of Clip to this track, esp. the second half. More, more, more of this stuff please! Check this out!

Soulful House Vol. 1

I am proud to release my first real Soulful House Mix. This one goes deep, straight from the Heart into your Soul!
These are some of the hottest tunes of the last months, so you just can't miss this! Funky basslines, groovy beats, sweet hooks and of course meaningful vocals will set your mind, body and soul on fire.

Starting very deep, i promise you will love the track "My Home" from Anthony Romeno, who gets a double-feature in this mix.
The track from Cerrone is simply perfect and already one of my alltime-favs, this one is legendary!
After the mix gets little more uplifting, the classic Tune from Harry "Choo Choo" Romero heralds the deep and saxy end of the mix.

Tracklist:
1. Distant People - Just Sing (Muthafunkaz Mix)
2. Anthony Romeno feat. Jaze Knight - My Home (Pongo Mix)
3. Cerrone - Tattoo Woman (Jamie Lewis Sex On The Beach Mix)
4. Marquito - Around Love (Original)
5. Random Soul - Liftin Me Higher (Guido Craverio Pull Up Remix)
6. Michael Procter - Rise Up (Fabio's Real Deal Vocal Thrill Mix)
7. Ralf Gum vs. Dennis Legree and Inaya Day - Try Me (Roberto Decarlo Classic Vocal Mix)
8. Blaze feat. Ultra Nate - Wonderful Place (H and H Vox Remix)
9. Ray Paxon feat. Freda Goodlett and Sybille - Music Is My Shelter (Main Mix)
10. Seb Skalski feat. Barry Solone - My Soul Is Rising (Original Club Mix)
