Very nice EP filled with summery vibes courtesy of young London-based producer Munro on the up and coming XVI Records out of Vancouver, Canada. Mid-tempo or Slow Deep House is a tricky thing. For me it’s sometimes very hard to differentiate the tracks that are 9’s and 10’s from the …

Back at it for another edition of my weekly Voyage Funktastique radio show, plus a special all-vinyl set by ASMA (in the second half of the show), I wanted to play the title track of the new Brian Ellis‘ EP, Reflection, just released a few weeks ago on Voltaire Records. It’s a …

Al Dobson Jr. is a name getting a lot of attention from worldwide lovers of progressive Soulful music, from the Beat scene to the more organic side of House music. The rapidly rising South London producer caught our attention last year with the first EP on 22a (a split EP …

For this week’s show, I had my good friend David Ryshpan drop by for a all Brazilian set; on my counterpart, I started the show with a few slow jams, including one from .CASTING, an upcoming producer who just released a month ago his HEATWAVE EP. I’ve played mostly all …
