Dear listeners, we’re having a little springbreak at the moment, so there’s no show this week. Radna will be travelling to London in a few days, Melodee is finishing  her new album, and Reinier is in the middle of squatting a building (and working on the tropical airwave mix, more on that soon). We won’t leave you with empty hands though. You can still download La Melodia’s ‘Come and get it‘ at Nalden.net. Or scroll through our archive of more then 100 shows over here and here. Then we’re also enyoing the recent radioshows of our friends from Holdboxflat and Hepcatradio. And James Pants just dropped a fresh Stones Throw podcast inlcuding some new tracks. Not to forget Antal is still diggin’ at Crazybirds. In the meantime even a new blog started of, dedicated to Nodnavigators, the little sister label of Kindred Spirits that is releasing Mweslee’s Eurocarne EP. Spring has arrived, and time is flying. R.I.P. Guru, and R.I.P. Steve Reid, who’s honoured with this mix by More Tea Vicar.

After the first edition of Seeing Sounds about the no-wave scene in Downtown New York, #2 is again about a city in crisis, that plays an essential role in recent music history. Detroit, the city of Motown soul and the automobile industry, is also known as the birthplace of techno music. Two short VPRO documentaries are screened: Kraftwerk & Detroit Techno and Detroit, Comeback City, while DJ Darco Cezveciyan plays music by pioneers of the techno movement. Also William de Bruijn, director of Detroit, Comeback City (1998) will be present to talk about the relation between the economics and architecture of Detroit and the music that originated there. “A complete mistake…like George Clinton and Kraftwerk caught in an elevator, with only a sequencer to keep them company.” We’re going underground this time, so I hope to see you in de Verdieping tomorrow, the space below club Trouw Amsterdam.

To get in the mood, here’s a playlist of Detroit techno compiled by Underground Resistance. And some essential reading, 3 great interviews with techno’s founding fathers Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson. More info on Facebook and Twitter. PS: If you’re into this, you also don’t want to miss Disco3000 in Trouw this saturday, with Urban Tribe live, featuring Moodymann aka Kenny Dixon Jr, Anthony ‘Shake’ Shakir & DJ Stingray – all from the D.

#2 | 22 april 2010 | De Verdieping | Wibautstraat 127 | Entrance 4,- | Doors open: 20.00 | Introduction starts 20:30

Since we heard Burgundy City, we’ve been big supporters of Dam-Funk. After the interview of last year, we were very happy to finally welcome the always friendly ambassador of modern funk in our studio. Sharing one mic (that’s why you can’t hear every presentation) but enjoying two hours of great funk, soul and disco from the future and past. Reinier is playing first, DJ Moussa (Boogie Bash crew) ends the show with his favourite boogie tunes, and somewhere in the middle you’ll find Dam-Funk’s set. He decided to play a 30 min. set with recent vinyl finds he collected during his European tour – even some funky tracks from the Netherlands and Italy are involved.

Listen below the full 2 hour show, and feel free te repost this (but please do mention our website). If you strictly want to download Dam-Funk’s set check:

PODCAST

The sun is out, and to start off the weekend there’s a special edition of the Boogie Bash - this friday at Paradiso. Apart from the Boogie Bash residents (KC, Boye, Moussa, Mike) no other dan Dam Funk will play a selection of funk, boogie and disco. And before you can have a drink at the Minibar, where the Moovmnt crew organises a teaser party.

Sounds like a great night out, and we are happy to give away two tickets for Paradiso. We only ask you to e-mail us a song you’d like to hear at the Boogie Bash (or otherwise in the Future Vintage show we’ll record this week). Send your favourite boogie tune to info@futurevintage.net. Friday morning the winner will be informed.

PS: at the same night the Gas Lamp Killer is playing in the main room. Music is a hell of a drug.
