Jakob Mäder, who released his ep as eleventh installment on our label RAW SOUL, joined forces with us and delivered a superb set during our label night at @giselle.dus back in May. Incredible build up, amazing track selection and a wonderful taste in music. Have a listen to his recording, it’s worth it!

ARTIST: Frag Maddin TITLE: Deep Bass State EP LABEL: RAW SOUL Catalogue no: RAWSOUL012 Release: Vinyl 17.07.2026 GENRE/S: Jackin House, Chicago House, Deep House TRACKLISTS: A1. Frag Maddin - Close My Eyes A2. Frag Maddin - Excuse Me B1. Frag Maddin - 4 Eva B2. Frag Maddin - Deep Bass State SHORT DESCRIPTION: RAW SOUL returns with its twelfth release, welcoming Hamburg-based producer, multi-instrumentalist, and creative force FRAG MADDIN — also known as BERUS and FMN — to the catalogue. Across four tracks, Maddin channels the energy of live improvisation straight into hardware, capturing each take in the moment before refining the best parts himself and passing them on to mastering engineer Matthias Heinstein for the final polish. The result is a tightly focused, floor-ready record: deep, cavernous basslines, raw drum programming, and a sound firmly rooted in the spirit of original Chicago house while remaining fully present in today’s underground. Since 2012, FRAG MADDIN has been active internationally, releasing on respected labels such as Kerri Chandler’s Madhouse Records, DVS1’s Mistress Recordings, Glasgow Underground, and Snatch! Records. As an artist, he moves fluidly between groove, experimentation, and cross-genre expression — something that also shines through in his projects BERUS and FMN. A standout moment on the EP is “Excuse Me,” on which Maddin provides his own vocals — unfiltered, direct, and perfectly placed in the mix.

RAWSOUL011 I Jakob Mäder - House Your Feeling EP by RAW SOUL

We’re excited to welcome Amrei Kehr to our Deeper House podcast series — an artist whose sets capture the soulful, percussive roots of house while pushing forward with Afro-electronic energy and bass-driven warmth. As co-founder of @thursdazee in Cologne, Amrei brings a deep connection to underground club culture and a refined ear for groove and atmosphere. Her mix for us is a real journey — rich in rhythm, immersive sound spheres, and a thoughtful song selection that reflects both skill and sensitivity. A wonderful exchange from the very first contact — and a mix well worth diving into.

DAVINA x Patraik @Giselle Bar 07.02.2026 by RAW SOUL

Svenja aka SVENSØN was born into a musical family at the end of the 1980s in the border triangle of Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium and was therefore practically born with a love of music. Influenced by a wide variety of genres from different eras, she has developed a very wide-ranging taste in music, which has matured over the years as a DJ into a very multifaceted, yet clearly focused style. SVENSØN has a good feel for the vibes of the audience, but also a very precise idea of which of the mostly very groovy, house and disco-influenced sounds she wants to electrify people on the dance floor and make them happy. In addition to her resident clubs in the border triangle, she also succeeds in doing this in Belgium at the NoName Festival and at Kultur A as well as in many places in the West and East, North and South. Some highlights were certainly the capital city clubs Sisyphos and Riter Butzke and the festival Berlin Beats & Boats, the Muna in Bad Klosterlausnitz, the Westhafen in Leipzig or Rave on Snow in Austria, as well as many other great clubs and festivals. SVENSØN never gets tired and is sure to keep people happy with their sound for a long time to come.

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 to the early 90’s with a playful twist, RAW SOUL 010 got you covered. Tracklist: 1. Slippy G. - Pixel Waterfall 2. Slippy G - Time Loops (Dub) 3. Slippy G - Orange Flight 4. Slippy G - Morning Rise 5. Slippy G - Worthy Boy 6. Slippy G - In Your Eyes (Calm Mix) With a new look and a timeless, forward-thinking sound, this anniversary release marks a milestone for the label and the beginning of Slippy G.’s exciting journey.

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
