Dutch production outfit Fouk are the duo behind Outplay Records, the label known for its special blend of infectious house music infused with just the right amount of broken beats. Of course, this means that Shan & OB had to have them in on the show this week, so ½ of Outplay, Daniel Leseman, stops in for a chat about their career to date. Said career includes some fairly huge releases on Detroit Swindle’s Heist Recordings, Local Talk, Razor-N-Tape, and their own Outplay Records. They’ve also done some huge remixes for acts like The Brand New Heavies, Groove Armada, Joey Negro’s The Sunburst Band and Mayer Hawthorne in between playing DJ sets around the world, Glastonbury included. Their label has just released the brand new Afro Quarters EP from Sofa Talk & XL Regular and it’s that perfect concoction of neo-soul, house and dance floor funk. We chat to Daniel about all this and what it’s like releasing proper vinyl in the digital age and the boys do this over and under a proper DJ mix show that will take you on a proper journey.
