“We grew up with the funk; we are children of the funk, and we come with our new flavour of funk for the next generation. Our sound is built on our roots of music centred around BASS, House, UK Garage, Breaks, Techno, Minimal, Dub, Hip Hop, and anything that smacks that speaker stack and makes our bodies move without our minds having to think about it.” - As self-defined by the SlapFunk label, podcasts and party series originally from Utrecht but now calling Amsterdam its spiritual home. On 4th September, SlapFunk’s 15th-year International Tour hits Horoom with its founder, DJ, producer, and digger, Samuel Deep. "We're not here to educate people," he says. "When I play, I want people to dance, and that's what we try to do with the label. It's pure dance floor music." Joining him are SlapFunk and VBX resident Doudou MD, who strongly believes music has the power to heal and serve as a medicine. As a digger, she is drawn to the swing of a track’s percussion, to deep and groovy basslines, and to ear-catching vocals. As a selector, Doudou MD is as adept at blending deep, soulful US house records as she is at ramping up the energy with propulsive ‘90s UK rave cuts; and Small Moves mastermind Ika, whose versatility allows fluid movement between atmospheres, from laid-back chill-out to energetic progressive house, from funky grooves and rave breaks to techno, trance, D&B, and jungle.
