SlothBoogie Podcast

Welcome everyone to 2022... another fantastic year of guest mixes awaits us, and we kick off in style with London based duo, Jive Talk. Since forming, the two friends (Jonny & Sam) have played an impressive array of the UK’s best parties and festivals, as well as hosting their own ‘Jive Talk & Friends’ stage takeovers at the much loved Noisily and Gottwood Festivals, the latter for which they're now official residents.

Over the last 3 years they’ve released a fine array of wax on the likes of Gottwax, Tropical Disco Records, Semi Delicious, Midnight People, and Saint Wax, to name a few... as well as their own imprint, Not For You.

Their releases mirror their eclectic DJ style – covering a range of sounds and influences. Expect to see much more from this fruity twosome over the coming year with plenty of exciting gigs and releases on the horizon.

For the next label feature in the guestmix series (every 4th week if you'd noticed) we have the Boogie Bandoleros from Valencia, The Basement Discos.

"Musical non-conformists, addicted to try and do. Always our way, always with the unique know-how of the Levantine coast. Our coast, bathed by the Mediterranean and awarded with an unbeatable climate.

We like music to transcend beyond sound and become an idea, an aesthetic, an experience. We care about taking care of every detail so that this happens."

The producer, DJ, label boss, radio host, and record store owner Ruf Dug should need little introduction to those on the scene.

Between his residencies at Pikes, Gottwood and NTS radio the Manchester-via-Ibiza computer game freak and renowned vinyl digger has found time to meld his wide range of influences in the studio, spanning balearica, street soul, 16-bit and everything in between.

Recorded live at 93ft East on the 26th of November get stuck into Conor and Ken's B2B set where they joined Horse Meat Disco's Severino and the Brixton Radio crew. Expect a pumping, sweat soaked, hi-NRG disco/house affair befitting of the occasion... enjoy!

Energetic, innovative and versatile, are just a few words you can choose to describe the prolific sound Lis Sarroca has been propelling in recent years, continuously drawing influences from her half Spanish, half Mexican background, and sprinkling in flavours from her current city of residence, Barcelona. Whether tuning in to one of her genre-melding DJ sets around Europe and beyond, her storytelling online mixes for the likes of HÖR Berlin and Rinse FM, or whether you find yourself absorbing her tight and emphatic productions - you will undoubtedly feel the Sarroca effect.

2021 saw Lis cement her position within the house scene with EP's on Shall Not Fade, Frankfurt's Chiwax, her own newly minted label, Maai, as well as SB fam Carlo's imprint, Atteral. Needless to say, we're stoked to have her in the series, and we'll be keeping a close eye on her output in 2022.

Since its launch in 2016, FWR has been dealing records online and at record fairs around the country. It wasn’t until 2018 that head honcho, Flat White Chris decided to start releasing records under the Flat White name, and launched as a label.

Already with eight releases to its name, the label has showcased talents such as Jacques Renault, Last Nubian, Garrett David, Byron The Aquarius, Felipe Gordon, (to name a few) as well as Flat White Chris himself.

The label prides itself on championing up and coming artists from around the globe, as well as those from the UK and specifically, Leicester City.

So far, releases have been played by Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6Music, had features with the likes of Dj Mag and Mixmag, as well as being stocked by record stores all over the world.

Back in October 2018, Chris launched his very own label night in Leicester, Flat White Fridays. This has been a resounding success with Chris’s 6+hour vinyl sets establishing a real following in less than a year. Monthly bookings (past and future) include Felipe Gordon, Kassian, Cleanfield, City Fly Records, Danny Langan and of course, SlothBoogie.

The mix includes a mix of new, old and forthcoming tracks, a couple of which will be out on FWR in the very near future. I like to think this is the sort of noise you can expect if you were to come to one of the Flat White label nights in Leicester.

Pat's dug deep into the SB inbox to compile just over an hour of new music for you this week... It's gonna be a real trip! Tracklist as always is up on http://slothboogie.com for the "track ID?" fam.

The London-born, Berlin-based artist masterfully straddles a heady mix of house, techno, and disco that has seen him become a regular at legendary spots like Panorama Bar/Berghain and Concrete while his output sits in the boxes of DJs like Ryan Elliott, The Black Madonna, DVS1 and Gerd Janson.

With a record store background, it’s unsurprising that Parker’s instinct to dig is paired with an unapologetically high standard when it comes to track selection. As a result, he’s a DJ who draws on undiscovered classics as much as he does unreleased material during a typical set.
