Monologues #79: Lex (Athens)

Friday Mar 29, 2024

Friday Mar 29, 2024

Pushing a super soulful, highly musical house and disco vibe on labels like Delusions Of Grandeur, B2 Recordings and Spa In Disco, Greek producer Lex (Athens) has really caught my ear in the last couple of years with his wonderful productions. Enjoy an hour of his own glorious, sun-drenched productions, including plenty of unreleased goodies.
*How would you describe your sound?*
I think there's a blend of quite a few different styles in my music so it’s a bit hard to describe it. In my ears I hear a psychedelic funkiness with a soulful balearism, if I could say in one sentence. But I think it’s a bit more than that, I mean I could use so many other words also. I am also a bit confused to be honest :)
The thing that I am quite certain though is that there is a lot of emotion, euphoria and positivity in my music, created with lots of organic action.     
*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* 
As usual, my first contact with music was from my father’s record collection and what he was playing on the turntable. That was mostly rock, disco, blues, classical and some eclectic Greek music to name a few. I am sure that those years inspired and influenced me subconsciously the most.
Apart of that there was also an early trance/rave period that played its part but I think the general late-'90s early-'00s US house period was the one that finally inspired and influenced me the most consciously.
There are really so many names to mention, for all these periods, that it's really very hard to pick just a few.
*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*
It’s the first mix I do with only tracks of mine so I am very excited. Also curious and a little nervous to see if people will like it. I approached the more housey side of me and there are lots of unreleased stuff in it, even unsigned.

Monologues #78: Serge Santiago

Thursday Feb 15, 2024

Thursday Feb 15, 2024

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:
