A decade ago, brothers Samuel Deep and Julian Alexander began running SlapFunk: parties in their hometown of Utrecht built around a specific sound they loved but couldn’t find anywhere else. Funky cuts with drum-driven grooves that move through minimal, bass, house, garage, and light-footed techno. Fast-forward, and they’re still throwing their infamous, seemingly never-ending parties on a much larger scale, alongside the namesake label and their SlapCast podcast series. See Samuel Deep in the booth and it’s instantly clear he can keep you locked to the dancefloor well into the morning (or afternoon), while still surprising with a far-reaching collection of records that span eras and genres.
