Dj Mourad

Instantly you are transported to a dark jazz house, where your stand up bass player lays down the foundational funk. HIs horn player decides to tickle your ears with some jabs and stabs, providing the melody to start your shoulders swaying.

How do you bring it up a notch? Let the percussionist lay down the undergroove for a few moments, until your drummer just lays into
that kick drum. When you think you’ve finally understood the groove, that organ sneaks in behind the scenes, and then the piano takes control of the top to brighten things up.

Dj Mourad keeps it pounding all the way through, pumpy enough for that growing dancefloor groover, yet smooth enough to include in a welcoming opening set.

Pawel Kobek gets his hands on Mourad’s stems and takes things to the big room. Huge kicks, thundering underlying bass, with hypnotic manipulations of the original melody, driving this techy re-touch into different heights.

DJ Mourad - Oups Crash

Mourad serves us another delicious plate of Detroit Soul with Oups Crash. Within the layers of this succulent soundscape lies a soul that is layered in quick hats, quirky percussion, and synth stabs in all the right places, riding over a bubbly bass that keeps the bounce oh so fun to ride along with. Spacey pads float from side to side, while delicately placed congos wake up yoursenses from the dream.

Label owner Cali Kula takes Oups Crash on a tribal tip with his remix. Feel the four to the flour and heady groove of his conga combinations and rhythms, while it rides alongside syncopated synth stabs. Cali Kula’s remix is warm and welcoming in all the emotions it draws from, and more on the Deep House side than the original, but just as powerful.
