SlothBoogie Podcast

Masterful French artist Yuksek returns with his fifth studio album, majestically combining his love of Brazilian rhythm with far-flung dance textures via the vibrant colours of ‘Dance’O’Drome’.

His breathtaking new album shares both its name and eclectic philosophy with the Dance’O’Drome radio show he presents on Radio Nova, vividly expanding upon the kaleidoscopic musical universe he created with 2020’s acclaimed ‘Nosso Ritmo’ LP. A glorious fusion of Brazilian luminosity and esoteric dance sensibilities, ‘Dance’O’Drome’ effortlessly glides through diverse sonic topography. Formed with a magnetic disco core, explosions of punk-funk are pitched against feverish Italo refrains, the compelling soundscapes variously paying homage to the filtered house of seminal Parisian label, Roulé, the languid Balearic disco of Metro Area, and plenty more in between.

To celebrate the release, Yuksek has provided us with an insightful concept mix, best described by the man himself:

"This mix is a blend of tracks, alternatives and live versions of my new album with the addition of tracks I sometimes play in my DJ sets, some edits I've produced and some inspirations. ENJOY!"

Listen back to our B2B2B closing set at the Sundown Stage on Friday night at this year's gorgeous Wildwood Disco Festival.

X-Press 2 have been at the vanguard of British electronic music for three decades now. In that time this acclaimed DJ and production duo, alongside Ashley Beedle, have turned out many hits. The London duo share the same sense of musical discovery that first united them on the dance floors of Shoom and Spectrum and the Balearic playground of Ibiza way back when. Now they find themselves in the thick of the SB mix series.

“We’d describe the mix as ‘Moving forwards with a nod to our roots’. As always with X-Press 2 the idea was to try and include music that’s new and exciting to us, played alongside some of our productions as well as dipping back into the past and adding some inspirational flavours to the pot. We like to spend some time thinking about the programming of a mix, working out some sort of flow so that the finished blend makes sense.”

"I wanted to record something a little bit Housey, a little bit Disco... definitely something Sunny... all in preparation for the SlothBoogie takeover of the Sundown Stage at Wildwood festival this year.

We can't wait to be hosting the Friday afternoon in just under 10 days time! We'll be getting the vibes going alongside Lulah Francs, Jive Talk and Kristy Harper... all ramping things up in the sun and getting people ready for a night in the woods dancing around amongst the lazer filled canopy. We truly love this festival and can't wait to be back!" - Pat SlothBoogie

Naomi is a Berlin-based DJ who has a perfectly calibrated passion for House music and an ability to create unpredictable atmospheres and energy in the club. Growing up and competing as a House dancer has helped shape and hone Naomi's appreciation for the smoothest of house grooves as a DJ. In the past 6 years, she’s been making a name for herself by playing in the city’s most renowned clubs like Tresor, Watergate, Golden Gate and Heideglühen and can be spotted regularly on HÖR, the notorious bathroom streaming service.

Last year she kicked off a new residency at the not-for-profit radio station, Refuge Worldwide, where she holds down a monthly show specialising on all grooves and moods of house music. Changing tempos from soulful and deep house to driving and powerful is what she has become known for, and she continues to bring the love of Chicago and Detroit house music to the Berlin dancefloors.

"I am currently gathering my music and energy for the upcoming summer gigs and have recorded it directly into a mix. Enjoy one hour of power and groove."

LDLDN is DJ, producer - and most importantly - obsessed with music.

A host on NTS Radio since 2012, his shows hop between jazz fusion, Detroit techno and anything else that generates a feeling.

His SpaceBass parties and DJ sets at the likes of Erol Alkan’s ‘To The Rhythm’ at XOYO, I Love Acid at Corsica Studios, We Out Here Festival, Lovebox, Tate Modern and Secretsundaze swing easily between dancefloor steppers and more thoughtful, deeper grooves. Movement is key, genres and BPMs - not so much.

Founding Natural Frequency Records has allowed LDLDN to bring all that together - releases that are musically diverse and tap into years of experience raving, collecting and dreaming about music.

Tracks that aim to capture an emotion or idea in a genuine and interesting way.

"My tastes cover so many different styles, tempos and vibes, it’s often tricky to choose a particular direction for a mix. But after seeing some of the chaos at a recent Slothboogie party I thought I’d go straight in with some front-foot, late-night house, techno and acid selections to get you moving. A sprinkling of new and old - including stuff on my Natural Frequency label - recorded in one take to capture the energy. Really enjoyed putting this together and hope you do to"

In this mix we see Arthur selecting some of More Amour’s own tracks and live editing others while Jon solo makes some magical loops and improvisation on the keys. We do hope you enjoy grooving to this as much as we did making it. Lots more love." - Jon & Art.
