SlothBoogie Podcast

"While putting the mix together I had an early morning slot in mind, taking over the decks to accompany the crowd after an already long night out - A situation which I miss like nothing else for more than a year now. As I am kept my daily routine finding new tracks, I have mixed my current favorite pieces of music out of my collection and tried to build a journey that will hopefully take place in reality again very soon. I recommend listening to the mix in one take! Thanks for having me and greetings from Cologne!"

Hailing from Bonn, Germany - Jonathan Kaspar is an integral part of the scene in Cologne. He is a resident at the city's renowned Gewölbe club and also one of the current main figures at the legendary Kompakt label. While Kaspar is constantly reinventing himself, he continues what he loves the most - being a DJ and producer!

Kaspar loves to play extra-long DJ sets building up a journey together with the crowd. Holding a residency at one of Germany's main spots in regards to underground electronic music clubs, Gewölbe, he regularly invites national and international guests to play extended nights with him while his busy DJ schedule has been built around that. 2021 started off with his much-acclaimed follow-up EP for Kompakt, including the track "Beton" which reached #1 in the Beatport Indie Dance chart for several weeks.

We're pleased to welcome to the series this week, a true legend of the scene, and a personal hero of ours... Mr Dicky Trisco!

"This mix was recorded one night in my basement studio using 2 Pioneer CDJ 2000s, a Pioneer 800 feeding direct into an old Yamaha CD recorder I've had forever, a few cold beers and a couple of Don Julio Terquila shots. I prefer to record them that way with no computer involved as the vibe and sound always feels better to me.

I love that blend of raw House and Disco that defines the SlothBoogie sound. So I grabbed a load of stuff I love old and new with that feel and banged it into a folder. I always had in the back of my mind as a guide to get to that Joe Cleen cut Give You All I Got which was a big tune for me at gigs around the world before the pandemic cancelled the social life. And it also featured a lot during my lockdown basement live jams.

The rest was just a matter of going with the flow which I believe is always the best way to travel.

Hope you all enjoy the music x"

After more than two decades of solid work, Ka§par’s art is still growing and evolving. He creates a highly personalised sound universe that manages to display diversity whilst retaining a unique sense of coherence - something only accessible to those who spend decades learning about the music they love. His new album “Gestures of Release” is nothing short of a clear statement to support this assertion.

The new album proposes 10 tracks that reflect many of the producer’s most treasured aesthetics. There’s the deeper abstract jazz-house of “Rectify” and “Miles Away”, the discoid funk of “Head Down” and “Feelin’ Something”, but also the dreamy downtempo and dub of “Suave” and “Maritime Myriad”. There is also, of course, plenty of irresistible bumping dance floor action of classic inspiration with tracks like “Gestures Of Release”, “Clone Forge”, “Time Apart” and “Membrana”.

Almost entirely produced, mixed and even mastered by the artist, this LP will be released on both digital and vinyl format. The latter will feature 6 of the 10 tracks on a great sounding 12”, with a high quality full coloured print and a digital download code offering, to be collected on the label’s web page.

“Gestures Of Release” will be out on Kaspar’s Percebes Musica in April 2021.

This week, we've got something special for the headz... to celebrate the forthcoming release of his EP 'L'art De La Retenue EP' (on Kerri Chandler's seminal label, Madhouse) Fred Everything has lovingly crafted a tribute mix to one of his personal heroes.

"Ahead of the release of my EP L’Art De La Retenu on Kerri’s label Madhouse, I thought It would be great to pay my respects to the man himself with a mix of some of my favourite production of his. I wanted to showcase his wide range of influences and various periods with lesser known tracks as well as fully fledged classics. Originals, Remixes, Dubs, Edits, Collaborations…

I did the mix in one take, armed with a pile of records and a digital playlist. I also did a special Edit of his Dub Disco classic Ladbroke Grove, especially for this occasion.

Thanks to SlothBoogie for the opportunity, Simon at Madhouse for the support and of course Kerri Chandler for years of inspiration.

This mix is dedicated to the memory of my good friend Philippe Larochelle who introduced me to a lot of the music included in this mix."
