Monologues #78: Serge Santiago

My Monologues mix series invites producers to mix an hour of their own productions. You can find the full archive of mixes on Soundcloud. Follow our Bandcamp for our label releases.
Serge Santiago's productions are always dead-certs when it comes to moving a dancefloor. For nearly 25 years now he's been putting out a consistent slew of heavy house music and Italo revivalism which was some 20 years ahead of the curve in terms of reappraising the genre (and which provided major inspiration to Bicep from the looks of their early YouTube uploads of vinyl rips). Aside from his solo material, he was also one half of the original iteration of Radio Slave and also of Waze & Odyssey. Entering a new purple patch in the last couple of years through his output on his Jack Said What label (co-owned by house hero Steve Mac and none other than Scottish author, Irvine Welsh), he's been a mainstay in my record box of late and I'm delighted to have him mix an hour of his own productions for us here on Monologues.
*How would you describe your sound?*
It's always an interesting question. My sound is under-produced jams. Muddy rollers. Music with dust on. Not techno, B-sides, Track 2. Room 2. Sampled. 40+. Anything it shouldn't be. 
 
*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* 
I'm very much into the late '80s US disco and house era. When house was new and dirty, with messy productions. Gritty drum patterns. Heavy samples. I love Italo influenced 4/4 also. It's something about the synth and piano tones they used for the underground dance scene. Magic to me!
 
*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*
It means I worked hard to get a sound and my message across. It’s the sound I love listening to and thinking about. Something off the beaten track. Myself and friends have been running a club night for the last 25+ years in Brighton called Stompa Phunk, this mix is the set, sounds and inspiration from the night. It’s something I'm proud I've done.Tracklist:

Monologues #77: X-Press 2

My Monologues mix series invites producers to mix an hour of their own productions. You can find the full archive of mixes on Soundcloud. Follow our Bandcamp for our label releases.
We are not worthy! A big scalp for us here at Monologues as we invite one of our all-time favourite production outfits X-Press 2 to contribute to the series. This '92-'24 retrospective from one of the mightiest names in house features unreleased Gabriels + Usher remix exclusives and a special edit of 'Lazy' exclusive to this mix. No-one does chunky house music better and we're delighted to have these history-makers be part of our long-running series. Strap yourself in for a tonking hour.
*How would you describe your sound?*
Our sound is for the dancefloor. Pure and simple. Whether that's the back room of a pub in Colnbrook or a huge mega tech rave in Mexico.
*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* 
I guess it's all sorts of music that's influenced us over the years. Going way back to tribal music through Blues, jazz, rnb, reggae, soul, disco, house, techno, classical etc etc. We always go back to early house stuff if we're ever stuck in the studio. Just get back to the raw basics and go again!
*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*
This '92224' mix is basically a snap shot of some of the stuff that we, with Ashley for a huge chunk of it, have done or been involved with over the years. From our very first production together ('Muzik Xpress') bang up to the minute with our soon-to-be-released Gabriels remix. Getting this mix together has made me appreciate just how much we've done and makes me feel very proud of what 3 lads from west London have achieved musically. Listening back to it there's definitely a thread that runs through this 32 years of music and I think that hopefully, you can hear those answers to the first 2 questions contained within.

#494: Deetron, Space Dimension Controller, Opolopo, Man Power, Tiptoes

SDC returns with some melodic acid on Running Back, Deetron delivers two killers for Nu Groove,  disco from Opolopo, a slammer from Tiptoes, new M.A.D. Records and Permanent Vacation and some lovely soulful house...
