Sunset Grooves

What better way than to have the wonderful @justemmaoffical put together this special milestone podcast. Number 200! They are definitely an inspirational duo and so to have them put together this exclusive set just for us summarizes the love of music we all have :) They are fabulous as humans and it transmits through their music, which is something we have always valued through sunset grooves. Please listen to this mix as if you're at Katerblau on a Monday Morning. You will see why they had so much fun doing it.

We started back in early 2013 and since have had over 190 different artists from over 45 different countries providing us music from deep house, hip hop, disco, funk, downtempo, electronica, deep tech, afro house, house and all with an absolute wonderful unique touch of individual groove.

Thank you to those who keep listening and discovering new artists through this channel. We cherish your feedback, comments and love and we hope to keep providing you with wonderful artists that can make your week whenever you click play on their mix.

Hope to see you on the dance floor sometime soon wherever it may be!

Love Sunset Grooves

A huge intense downtempo track. Make sure you got some bass filters because this one will break your windows.

Track Info:

From the south of the Andes, crossing the Central American lakes, until reaching the cenotes of the north of our beloved Latin America, our father sun is reborn. The light emitted by it provides us with the necessary energy for the creation of life. 'Renacer Solar' was born from the inspiration of the tales of the earth. The rays and energy of the sun gives rise to 12 Latin American artists, from different cultures and influences, but with the same heartbeat. The breath of the wind leads us through different cities in Latin America, unifying our hearts and minds under the same sanctuary, 'Templo Solar'. Our Temple is heaven.

Track Info: Aššur was the capital of the Assyrian Empire (1365–1050 BC). Today, the site is a World Heritage Site, having been added to that organization’s list of sites in danger in 2003 following the conflict that erupted following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Assur is also the origin of the names ‘Syria’ and ‘Assyrians’. This composition by ‘thds’ was inspired by Syriac music, especially its specific scales and melancholy.

Interview with Jola Luz

*********************

Good morning Jola 😊

Congratulations on being the winning podcast!

➢Thank you very much! What a pleasure!

Tell us what song puts you in a good mood when you wake up in the morning?

➢In the morning I like rather quiet music. What I particularly like at the moment is, for example, "volta" by Boogie Belgique, "mind if i stay" by Kadebostany or "nie meh" by Dr. Mo.

What got you into DJing?

➢Electronic music has accompanied me since my youth. In the clubs, I was always happy to see female DJs. In 2018, I decided to start DJing myself. At that time, the downtempo scene in Bern was growing, which motivated me even more. Because I had hardly any previous experience, I needed time to familiarise myself with the technical requirements. In 2020, I put my first mixtape online.

How has the music scene developed in Berne over the last few years and could you recommend the listeners an event that you love?

➢In my opinion, the downtempo genre in Berne has developed quite a bit in the last few years. At the event series "Flanieren" in the Bollwerk chapter and "Club Lento" in the Turnhalle, there are always great acts playing. I can warmly recommend both formats.

Where would be the best place to take us ,to enjoy a sunset in Berne?

➢I particularly like sunsets by the water. For example, at Lake Wohlen or on the Aare. A beautiful spot is by the Halenbrücke. I can also reveal here that Soulraves will probably be back in Bern in the autumn. That's what we call our interpretation of ecstatic dance. After a long break, the collective has reformed and is planning the next events 😊

When the clubs/festivals re-open, where would you go to first?

➢I'm looking forward to the Montsomnia Festival at the end of July. There should also be a Downtempo Daydance in Thun at the beginning of August, I'm really looking forward to that too!

Lastly, regarding this mix you have done for us, can you tell us a little bit of your thought process behind choosing the tracks you chose?

➢ I recorded this mix at the beginning of spring. After the long winter without being able to dance properly, I felt a great desire to play energetic and danceable tracks. I imagined the first warm sunsets of the year and hoped to be able to spend them soon with dear people and good music. Have fun with it!

Always a pleasure to be part of something from Plurpura Records. We are a big fan of this downtempo track by Olik, which is our favorite from the wonderful VA.

Sunset Grooves Edit 004

**********************

Our fourth "Free Edit of The Month" is brought to you by the Down Under magician The Oddness who has given a phat rework to the old school classic track "Linguistics" by the American Hip Hop Group Jurassic 5, released as a single back in 2004.

Bringing that raw rolling bass line blended with the flow of the old school rappers is something we all needed for our upcoming summer!

We know Harry since several years through his involvement with our dear friends Kahl & Kaemena. Beginning this year he created a lovely track for us and with ÜNAM & Seba Campos we found two ideal remixers for this EP. Enjoy and embrace the summer together with us.

Delighted to host this wicked remix by one of our local favorites Jay Fase. Super touch on the upcoming EP of the dutch duo Kapibara being released on our friends label Récit de Mars.

Track Info:

Stepping up on remix duties Jay Fase. With his music appearing on Moblack and Switchlab, and previously being part of the duo Rey (who were awarded with several gold and platinum discs), he is no stranger to making a solid slab of music. This remix takes things deep, afro edged, tinkly toned, a slight wobbliness and plenty of drive.

It has been four years since I last did a mix for Sunset Grooves and it was high time I did a mix returning to my funk roots. Not the easiest of genres to mix but definitely one of the most fun you can have :) This is a mix full of some of my favorite funk tracks at the moment and one or two classics I needed to include.. all mixed with a modern touch to give that extra kick/punch that I dig so much.

Hoping to seduce some music fans who haven't explored much this genre and those who know it to hopefully discover a few tracks you have not come across :)

Sunset Location: Lausanne, Switzerland

You want some future crazy disco groove vibes..? Yes you do! Max coming out with this banging track full of energy. Enjoy

Track Info:

Welcome to Fragrant Edits Vol. 1, Part II, the follow up to the debut release from fresh new Russian label Duchesse. Ten tracks of disco goodness for your listening and dancing pleasure!

Headlining the release is Andy Bach with "Free Your Body", a feisty, funky number with a thumping beat and sumptuous disco vocals. Up next is Mark Whites with "Reach For The Sky", an 80s tinged belter laden with gorgeous synth riffs and a hands in the air vibe. In at number three is "Groove To Get" by Max Newton, a brooding disco burner with an insatiable groove that just screams get up and dance! Hot on its heels and highly reminiscent of 90s filter house is "You Know How It Is" by Salemo. With a bassline that won’t quit and a horn section from heaven, "You Know How It Is" will fill any dance floor! At the halfway point is Rafael Yapudjian with "First Light Of The Morning", an absolutely stunning instrumental number perfect for any afterhours party. In at number six is "Sugar" by X Gets The Crest, a sweet and quirky yet super funky tune with heavenly vocals and an unforgettable synth refrain. Up next is "Milano Stazione" by Peppe Dibari, a pounding disco stomper that will have the whole crowd moving! At number 8 is Disco Endeavours with "Stay On My Mind", a moogy, bassline orientated track with luscious electric piano and vocals throughout. The penultimate track, "Gonna Getcha High" by Even Funkier takes things up a notch with a super groovy, synth excursion: a killer finishing track for any discerning disco DJ. Rounding things off is Berobreo with "Midnight Video", a pulsing, unquenchable disco groover: the perfect end to some very Fragrant Edits!
