When DJ Scientist announces a new mix it’s usually something special. Aside from releasing his Soviet Groove mix for Ninja Tune’s legendary Solid Steel Radio show, a Georgian Groove mix for LDBK Radio 3 years ago, he also blessed rare groove lovers with special mix sets of Agit Rock, Xian Funk and more.
Today, we are proud to present his newest sound collage that sheds light on German Boogie and Boogie-related tunes from Germany, Austria as well as Switzerland. Though it is not the first mix related to this topic (e.g. Haitian Star’s “German 80ies Funk” CD from 2014) it should be the most extensive one to date. Spanning a duration of two hours and including almost 70 tracks, the mix showcases the broad and diverse spectrum of funky post-disco music from 1980s Germany. On the one hand, there are great examples of American-sounding Boogie and late Disco, on the other hand, the mix features rare Modern Soul and Funk joints taken off of local samplers and private pressings, boogie-ish experimental Electro from tapes, some AOR-ish/Yacht-y tunes, as well as tracks on the boarderline of NDW (German New Wave) and Synth Pop. Providing a flawless non-stop sound experience, “Germany Boogie Essentials” is an exciting dj mix that any Boogie, Disco, Funk and Synth lover should check out!
Further notes: The mix is related to Scientist’s recently released double vinyl compilation “Boogie On The Mainline – A Collection Of Rare Disco, Funk & Boogie From Germany 1980-1987“ which features tracks by Trust, J.D. Puma Lewis (aka John Davis), Squish, The Poptown Syndicate, Ströer, Imagination, Upstairs, Peter Patzer, Ca$h & Publicity which can be heard in the mix too. (Discogs Link:
