Raw Soul

This recording captures a special night at Giselle Bar, featuring SE62 from Ghent — known for releases on Slapfunk, MLIU and Raw Soul, and former resident of the legendary Closer Club in Kyiv — alongside Patraik, DJ and RAW SOUL label manager from Düsseldorf. The duo delivered a beautifully paced set across vinyl and digital, starting slow and patient, the way a proper warm-up should be. Gradually, the energy built up, layer by layer, telling a story that unfolded naturally over the course of the night. As the intensity grew, so did the connection on the dancefloor. You could feel it: a real buzz in the room, tension in the air, and an undeniable desire to dance. People were locked in, sharing the moment together — exactly what house music is about. No barriers, no labels, just everyone in the room moving as one. A night to remember. A set that deserves to be repeated.

Liminal.traces: a duo - two friends - mixing music with passion since 2018. It all started with our tradition to mix a set just for fun and the mood before going out to dance to electronic music through the night in Cologne and Düsseldorf. We immediately felt attracted to the sound of the underground. In the early 2020s we made experiences on open air events as part of a collective in cologne and started to mix music not only for ourselves, but also for an audience of both dancers and music enthusiasts. During that time we developed a focus on sound, which is moving liminal between deep, dub, detroit and minimal. While moving between these styles, we are appreciating both house music and techno and rely great importance on good and quality sound and its traces to the underground. Our own traces lay between CGN and DUS so naturally we feel connected to both cities and the region nearby like Wuppertal and the infamous Ruhrpott.

For our 10th release, RAW SOUL proudly welcomes Slippy G. (https://soundcloud.com/slippygmusic) to the family. The Cologne-based producer, DJ, and freestyle rapper was inspired by the German beat scene, J Dilla, and underground niche rap while growing up in hip-hop. He simultaneously dove deep into the electronic sphere of the four-on-the-floor groove, discovering the shared DNA between beat-driven hip-hop and early house productions — from the raw energy to the production techniques of the legendary Akai MPC. Over the years, Slippy G. has built his own creative playground, crafting a sound that blends groove, warmth, and raw authenticity with his own vocals. RAWSOUL010 delivers six versatile tracks designed for the dance floor, smooth warm-ups, and sunrise moments at festivals. Across the release, Slippy G showcases a bright palette of the multicolored soundscapes he got in his reportoire: if you’re looking for dirty thought-out grooves that get you in the pocket or carrying house tracks that pay hommage t

Recorded high above the rooftops of Düsseldorf, this mix captures the vibe of an intimate yet vibrant night at The Paris Club. Spun on two turntables, two CDJs, and a Pioneer mixer, Patraik takes you on a journey from laid-back lounge grooves to danceable deep and funky rhythms. A set that blends warmth and movement — perfect for golden hour, late-night drinks, or anything in between

Winter Series Episode 27 - Thomas Andrzej by RAW SOUL

We are happy and proud to announce our second release in this so difficult year 2021. Music, at least for us, was an important factor to get through well mentally, always keeping the smile and remembering the long club nights when we seemed to be almost unstoppable and forgot everything around us. Where everything became one and trivialities no longer counted. Where everyone was like the other. We also had this feeling when we got to know Pietro aka Peter LC (@petermlc) from Italy through our label buddy @berlinanton, who runs his project and label @discodiscorecords. His tracks convinced and during the first video call it turned out that Pietro is a super nice, likeable guy - who already shows his extraordinary talent in his young years. Mastered by Nico Lahs (@nico-lahs) who recently released an EP on Mike Grant's legendary M&G label, we are happy to present this super fresh sounding deep house 4-tracker strictly designed for the dancefloor.
