Featured DJ Chart: Basement Freaks

A self taught multi instrumentalist, Greek producer George Fotiadis, AKA Basement Freaks is one of the go-to men on today’s nu-funk circuit. We caught up with the man from Thessaloniki (but now based in Cologne) to find out what is in his record box this month…

1.Badboe VS Prosper – Rock The Beat (Mooqee & Beatvandals mix) (Bomb Strikes)

“Bomb Strikes dropped this massive EP earlier in the year. It‘s unbeatable and I’m sure the Mooqee & Beatvandals mix is gonna be featured in my DJ sets for a long time to come!”

2.Max Sedgley – Something Special (Jalapeno)

“This is an absolute summer disco hit – it’s fresh and has a really special feel about it.”

3.Dr. Rubberfunk Feat. John Turrell – Northern Comfort (Jalapeno)

“Wicked collab coming out of the Jalapeno camp featuring the best male soul voice going around
working with Dr.Rubberfunk…”

4.Basement Freaks – Something Freaky (Jalapeno)

“This has been heavy supported by Rennie Pilgrem, we think this is a sure shot able to freak any kind of funky listener!”

5.The Q Orchestra – Ritmo Diabolico (Freestyle)

“Diabolic summer teaser tune, perfect for open air parties.”

6.Quasamodo Feat MC Coppa – Bollywood Man (Basement Freaks mix) (Bombastic Jam)

“I think this is one of the best remixes I’ve done so far, from the first EP on Bombastic Jam. Fresh to the bone, pure dynamite!”

7. Ariya Astrobeat Arkestra – Crosstown Traffic (First Word)

“Afro is what we all want to hear this summer especially, and here Ariya Astrobeat Arkestra have done one of the most successful cover songs I’ve ever heard.”

8. Sao Benitez – Danca Loca (Mr Bongo)

“Like the funky fiesta party? You gonna love this!”

9. Mash & Munkee – The Good Vibe (Jack to Phono)

“Mash & Munkee bring the quailty nu-funk sound I really dig… watch out for these guys! It might sound kind of old school on the first listen but it’s actually really fresh.”
