SlothBoogie Guestmix #318 - Jay Carder

There's more to Jay Carder than just one genre. "A typical Jay Carder club set infuses raw, tribal rhythms with house, breaks and electronica in low-end-heavy DJ sets. Throwing parties for the underground dance community, she’s as much at home warming up for Bicep as she is playing alongside a hero like K-Lone. Her unique connection to the dance floor is key to her energy and ethos, but there’s more to mention. From Fela to Bonobo, her wide-ranging influences are rooted in music with soul, groove and depth. Ask her to name a list of her favourite artists and a list come back as long as her right arm: Overmono, David August, Max Cooper, Throwing Snow, Funkadelic and LTJ Bukem all come tumbling down her proverbial sleeve. Shake it again and Sault, Slugabed, J Dilla and Nina Simone then artistically emerge: she’s the very definition of an eclectic selection. "I thought I'd go somewhere I've never been before for this mix – to analogue heaven with purely vinyl selections. Normally I'm a quick mixer, a looper, a 3-CDJ tune tickler – so thought I'd switch things up and dust off some acetate for this one. The result is tracks that are long, deep and 100% considered for their positioning and sonic pleasure. There's even a few lairy (and hairy!) bits that will keep you (as they sure did me) on your toes. Some of these records I bought years ago before I could even DJ; some of them I bought last week. All of them I hope give you a tasty little flavour of Jay Carder. Cheers to Slothboogie for having me!" Artist: @jaycarder
