Kick-start your weekend with our feel-good Friday selection of disco, funk and house. Featured in today’s blog are DJ Holographic, Channel Tres, Laurence Guy, D. Tiffany & Jayda G, Hot Since 82 and more.
With the legendary Detroit marathon set from J2v still getting a constant rerun here at the office, we’re thrilled to see some fresh new grooves from DJ Holographic. A high octane sonic voyage through cosmic funk and slapping house.
One of the biggest acts to blossom out of the West Coast in recent years, Channel Tres continues to impress with his unique blend of hip-hop, R&B and funk laced soulful house. This mix for TGIF is a definite party starter.
Afterhours, euphoric, lofi house connoisseur, Laurence Guy, recently came in with a strong late contender for one of the EP’s of the summer. Patented with trademark sun-kissed chords and lush dreamy pads, the buoyant lead single provides a perfect reminder of the good times still to come.
One of our favourite remixes of 2018, D.Tiffany’s rave infused basement hit, Spirit Alien, received the Jayda G flip for an instant classic. A thumping late night gallop through an airy haze of intimate melancholy.
First there was disco and then there came house. Shaped, molded and popularised by early DJs such as Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy, here are the 10 post-disco tracks that helped inspire house music.
What seems like a lifetime away now, back in February we launched Sphere, a unique 5 part concept series at the brand new Magazine London. Although the series was cut short due to the lockdown, we still cherish the incredible memories created at the purpose-built Greenwich space. So, to get you boogying into the weekend, we leave you with a set from the tech funkmaster himself, Hot Since 82, recorded live at the Sphere launch party.
