On this weeks Feel My Bicep mixtape, we welcome Marla Kether, the bassist, producer, DJ and founder of Kilengi Dance Party, born in London to Congolese parents. She’s been taking her high-energy sets around the world to Glastonbury, supporting Loyle Carner on his US tour. The diverse selections feature a bass-led blend of Kuduro, Dembow, Afro House and Global Bass. Lets catch up…

Recently I’ve been playing a bunch of really great shows with my band, and working on a few remixes that’ll be out this summer. I’ve also been enjoying a (slight) lull in my tour schedule which has meant more time with friends!

Last Friday, I DJed at Outra Cena in Lisbon for a Numa High party. The Tascam recording is being mastered at the moment so—just for you—I’ve re-recorded part of my set, from the comfort of my lovely bedroom.

The party was a celebration of people and music from the African diaspora, so I featured a lot of Batida, Kuduro, Baile Funk and Afro House. Just serving up my usual mix of global dance sounds really—giving people a taste of what to expect at my upcoming shows, as well as showing off tunes I heard during my trip to Brazil earlier this year.

Up Next…

So, I have quite a lot coming up! I’ve got 2 remixes and a track on Somewhere Soul’s new compilation coming out in June-July; a heap of live bookings, including Cross The Tracks, The Great Escape and SXSW London; and I’ll be DJing at Glasto, We Out Here, Outlook and Little Simz’s Meltdown Festival to name a few!

I’ve been lucky enough to quit my day job and spend most of my time focused on music and surrounded by my loved ones.

The mix was recorded during one of my recent gigs here in Berlin.

Lately, I’ve been getting more and more into records, so this is more of a retrospective selection of music that I’ve been enjoying recently.

FMB MIXTAPE 258 | PÉPE

FMB MIXTAPE 258 | PÉPE (iTUNES)

On this weeks FMB Mixtape, we welcome Pépe, the Valencian producer known for seamlessly blending techno, bass, breakbeat and IDM. His crystalline melodies, intricate rhythms and glitch-infused soundscapes have gained him support from many including Ben UFO, Special Request and Objekt. Let’s catch up with him…

I have just had a run of two releases on Elicit and YUKU, alongside running my first party, “Patchwork”, where I invited Hermeneia to play an extended set. It was a great night of  dub-heavy, hardcore continuum explorations.

I recorded the mix at my studio in Alboraya, Valencia. Two XDJs and a turntable were used.

I wanted to record a straight-to-the-point mix of heavy club sonics. It goes from breakbeat and machine-funk acid into the more percussive, bassier fringes of my collection. As always, I’m obsessed with the concept of the hardcore continuum, and I like to see in which different ways I can tap into it with my mixes, trying to snip and patch many points of club music history into new collages. We go from Detroit to Manchester to Tokyo, Baltimore, South London and beyond with this one.

Up next…

Festival season looms, and I’m getting myself ready for Embassat, BBK (where I’m hoping to run into you guys, we play the same day), Soundit festival, and plenty more dates yet TBA.

Some more music and remixes are on the way, but more to be announced soon!

Tracklist:

  1. Radio Slave-The Revenge (Original Mix)

FMB MIXTAPE 257 | TOO MANY CARS

FMB MIXTAPE 257 | TOO MANY CARS (iTUNES)

On this week of the FMB mixtape we have Séb from Too Many Cars joining us. Their love of house, italo, electro and trance music lead them into starting to produce music, releasing those on French labels, until they decided to start their own Record Label – Too Many Cars. They release their own music and other producers such as Franz Scala, Kid Machine and Betonkust as well as having an electronic record shop up until 2020. Let’s catch up…

I used to play a lot the last 10 years, especially when I had my record shop, sometimes 4x a week, mostly in Lille but also in Paris, Brussels, and other French cities. I’ve reduced the gigs since I had my daughter 2 years ago. I don’t feel that I need to play every weekend anymore. I’ve recently become a resident of a club called Nox Club, off course in Lille, playing there 6 or 7h dj set, all night or b2b.

This mix was recorded at my house, with a djm 350, 2 cdjs and a reloop rp 7000 for the records.

I have to say that it’s not really my cup of tea to record a 1h podcast as I like to play extended sets. Then I did it in 1 shot, like if i was playing a dj set, picktime, at around 3pm in a club. I wanted to play some electro, new beat, house, with all time classics and some recent stuff.

Up Next…

Some more gigs for my residency at Nox Club. I’ll keep inviting friends but also more “famous” DJs very soon to play b2b with me.

Tracklist:

1. Sanpé – East Energy (Scratch Mix)
2. Voodoo Meluk – Pauperrimo Miserable (kat Yusti Remix)
3. Christopher Ledger – Do It Like That
4. Same-J – Feel It
5. DC Salas – El Juego
6. Hannah Holland – Beats Aesthetic
7. Innershades – The Beat (Ibiza Mix)
8. Downside – Fast Import
9. After Club – Affligem 1997
10. Sarah Wilde – Infinite Space
11. Paul Adam Walter – Brutal House (Extended Mix)
12. Too Smooth Christ – Lizards Bar
13. Betonkust & Palmbomen II – Leo / Mirjam
14. Mila Dietrich – Illusion
15. Marcel Dettman – Water (Interstellar Funk Remix)

FMB MIXTAPE 256 | DENHAM AUDIO (iTUNES)

On this weeks Feel My Bicep mixtape we welcome Denham Audio, the DJ that has brought new urgency and vitality to the modern rave scene with breakbeats, b-lines and acid hooks. The sound he’s pushing is rooted in the legacy of UK hardcore, but those foundational sounds and styles are given a thorough spruce up, feeding into the buoyant areas of exploration happening between 130 and 160 BPM. Let’s catch up…

I recently got back from my Australia tour, was out there for the whole of January. Have been working hard in the studio since I got back and have been putting out some new music over the last month or so.

Was lucky enough that Klose One let me use his sick home set up (thanks Ruairi). The mix was recorded on 2 CDJ 2000 NXS, a DJM 900 NXS with a pair of Klipsch La.

I wanted to contribute something that I felt reflected my influences over the years. I dug into the archive for some 2012-2014 UK Bass that I was playing when I first started DJing, I bookended the mix with a couple tracks from one of my favourite video game Stray, and included plenty of new material from myself and close friends.

Up Next…

Got a new tune with Champion dropping next month (which you can hear a sneak peak of in this mix), very excited for that to drop! Will also be kickstarting things again with Club Glow with 2 new releases lined up in the coming months (you can also hear these in the mix).

Tracklist:

1. Yann Van Der Cruyssen – Courtyard
2. Corticyte – Modulate
3. Smiff – Dish Down
4. Alex Coulson – Too Much Talk (Tessela remix)
5. Martin ikin – Make U Sweat

12. OneOneOne – Double Yellow
13. John Graham – Real (Mani Festo edit)
14. Denham Audio & Club Angel – ID
15. Oldboy – Hustle
16. Champion x Denham – ID
17. Mincy, Killyjoy &. Denham Audio – ID
