Crowd noise can be heard from live recordings, whilst hiss and crackle from snippets of Youtube clips add texture - the distinctive repeated vocal on 'Tomato Pope' is from an old heavy South American funk track, gleaned from an obscure DJ mix. It's an approach that is innately tied to the producer, whose love for DJing started out in sample-heavy hip-hop and who taught himself to produce whilst working full time as a television editor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis talent for writing original vocals stands out elsewhere, on 'You Used To Make Me Feel' \"a self dissection of past attitudes to romance\". 'Hot Weekend', an early highlight of the album \"about tripping your head off with a lover and wondering if the relationship is worth anything\" - features the vocal and songwriting talents of City Hayes, a.k.a DJ Flic. A New Zealander now living in Bali, and friend of the producer, the pair are regular collaborators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElsewhere, Detroit legend Rick Wade makes his featured vocalist debut on 'The Music' after Berman was inspired by interviewing him on his Smuggler's Inn radio show whilst Rick was staying at his apartment in Berlin. Picking out a section where Rick talked about secretly listening to disco and funk as a child, Danny hit up the deep house pioneer who loved the idea and was happy to be a part of the album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch of 'Self Portrait' carries a somewhat cinematic, dreamy quality, with every track having its own personal story. Yet it never loses its sense of fun or danceability, as is evident on the first single, and one of this year's biggest tracks, 'Wonky Bassline Disco Banger'. Played out everywhere by the likes of The Black Madonna, Moodymann and Motor City Drum Ensemble, the quirky hit set expectations high for the upcoming album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Self Portrait' is the culmination of years of musical exploration from an artist who started his career as a teenage scratch DJ in a remote Scottish fishing village. He moved onto jungle in Bristol, techno in Edinburgh, and house in Liverpool before finding his sound in Berlin. He spent years teaching music before taking it up full time, and has long been championed by Gilles Peterson. He's been running his tastemaking Smuggler's Inn radio show for a decade with an accompanying label, in addition to Berman's other two labels Bergerac and Nettles. Berman's genuine love for his craft is evident across all these multiple projects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I just want to show everyone who I am and what I am about.

Following on from 2018s Gilles Peterson hammered 'Deep Blue' EP, he returns to Red Rack'ems Bergerac label with an absolutely killer 3 tracker which showcases the Watford, England based producers world class musical chops. Surely a contender for THE summer record with a sun kissed Brit funk A side which is tailor made for the WWFM and We Out Here crew. A tropical house and broken beat burner make up an equally strong flip. We are very happy (and relieved) to be presenting to you an absolutely belting EP of UK soulful dance music.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt's nothing short of a miracle that the A side track 'Illusions' has ever made it on to vinyl. Jonna from City Fly remembers 'Adam had this on a CDR at Southport in 2008 and it became our official track of the festival as we all partied together the whole weekend it got played again and again back at our Chalet parties'. But then as these things often sadly go, the funk diamond was lost for a few years in the digital ether. Fast forward to 2014 and Danny Berman aka Red Rack'em is playing a 320 of 'Illusions' everywhere but alas it's just a demo and Adam can't locate the arrangement to complete the track as it's on a broken computer in his Mums attic.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThen finally this year, after many pleading emails and plenty of gentle cajoling, there's some amazing news! Adam has located the broken computer and after a day of digital open heart surgery, and then a re-edit over Zoom (no really) we finally had the killer, classic UK soulful anthem you're listening to today. A voice over from a disco documentary cleverly introduces each instrument on the intro before Tommy pushes the button marked 'biggest bassline of the year' and takes us into boogie heaven.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e'Sound Crazy' on the flip is another one of those classic Afrobeat tinged Tommy rollers. Big room vibes but with a lot of soul. Rolling broken drums and a huge bassline combine with plenty of spicy, tropical atmosphere on top. The trademark Rawson uplifting chords begin after an anticipatory vibe filled breakdown, taking you to the stratosphere.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e'Ads Mood' is the most 'classical' broken beat track on the record, but they are all playable in multiple environments and transcend mere genres. Heavy bass and extra funky syncopated beats climax into a beautiful almost orchestral feel to close off an exemplary EP of higher quality moods and emotions. Don't sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bergerac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40566759391388,"sku":"BERG015","price":14.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/rel_b84998e3-d847-40f5-be61-224657274771.jpg?v=1627940183"},{"product_id":"red-rack-em-wonky-bassline-disco-banger","title":"RED RACK EM - WONKY BASSLINE DISCO BANGER","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12 Inch\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: BERG005\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 21 Sep 21 (back in)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Deep House\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Wonky Bassline Disco Banger\u003cbr\u003eB1 Jazzy Extension\u003cbr\u003eB2 Destined\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP.D.D are pleased to welcome Red Rack'em's Bergerac label to our ever expanding label roster..\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's been a busy 3 years since Danny Berman aka Red Rack'em released on his own Bergerac imprint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince then he's toured relentlessly, released a whole album of live music based disco\/punk funk for Sonar Kollektiv as Hot Coins, managed to completely update his biggest track 'In Love Again' to make it a hit the second time around plus released spaced out, wonky party smashers on Wolf Music, Phonica, City Fly and Telefonplan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile all this was going on Bergerac was largely on ice but now Berman is turning his energy back to the label with a vengeance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWonky Bassline Disco Banger is accurately titled.

After last years crossover smasher ‘Italo Disco Banger’, which picked up love from DJ Harvey, Gerd Janson and Fatboy Slim, Red Rack’em has been back in the lab, cooking up this years contribution to his ever growing, genre hopping series of ‘Bangers’. He’s hit discotheque paydirt once more with the euphoric tropical disco house burner vibes of ‘Secret Banger’. The feedback has been insane with early support from a wide range of tastemakers including Make A Dance, Nikki Nair, Luke Una, Boris Dlugosch and Gallegos, it’s a crossover, summer magic jam, perfect for those Adriatic or Balearic mornings. Secret Banger is an instant classic. Perfectly pitched for festival sunshine and late night heads down parties. It’s a ‘moment’ track, combining the biggest vocal hook this side of Daft Punk, ecstasy pads, tropical boogie strut and the trademark Rack’em club shaking sub bass. Secret Banger is a sureshot, guaranteed to give eyes closed moments to even the most frosty dancefloors. Monday is ostensibly ‘the deeper B Side cut’ but it’s also a certy club wrecker. Samples are being mad flipped people. A wacked out street soul snippet is sliced and diced before the track mutates into a huge pitched down late night jaw bothering incantation. The OG sample is hard cut into the track like a more clever than most DJ on the decks.
