Marcel Vogel steps up for this week’s In The Basement mix. The German-born, Amsterdam-based DJ, producer, and founder of the seminal Lumberjacks in Hell whose passion for raw, soulful sounds and impeccable crate-digging has earned him a devoted following across the global underground disco and house scene.
His selection is a masterclass in deep Chicago roots and leftfield soul opening with Javonnette’s “We Go Way Back” and weaving through Sterling Void’s “Runaway Girl,” Mr Lee & Company’s “Can You Feel It,” and Armand van Helden’s “Medicine Man.” Joe Claussell’s edit of Cosmicdelic Africa’s “Mouodilo” and Pepe Bradock & Michelle Weeks’ “Movin On” bring warmth and weight, while Yankari Afrobeat Collective’s FRAWL remix adds a hypnotic late-session groove. Dive in and experience a selector who lets the music do all the talking.
