Felix Dickinson - 01.10.24

A dear friend and very talented dj for number #167. I met @na_one, the Korean born but now Amsterdam based DJ, in Berlin a few years ago when we both played the same Patterns of Perception Party. Since then, i've seen her DJ on various occasions, including an Animalia party in Melbourne last summer, and an evening at Garage Nord in Amsterdam. 

Her versatility but commitment to pure groove is always consistent. Naone's personality and dynamic energy can really be felt in her musical outputs, let alone her amazing technical abilities, boasting an impressive record collection, and also foraying into production with some amazing releases on @warningberlin, @oneyewitness and a @dkmntl cassette tape compilation. She always manages to bring the party vibes (on or off the decks), but her skills are serious.

Thank you so much Nawon for the mix <3

The Stockholm based Aniara artist and Ritmo Liminal party co-founder Mattias El Mansouri steps up for our next Phonica mix.
With three releases on the Aniara label, his most recent being the beautifully crafted "Time Dilation In Ultraviolet" Mattias has proven his understanding of what gives a dance track more meaning. This is also founded in his DJ sets all over Europe which have seen him share B2Bs with greats like Genius Of Time and Hunee. For this Phonica mix Mattias takes us from the house party and transitions us to the club and straight into the morning with a mixture of vocal delights into deep club moments leaving us on full blown Eurphora. We had a little chat with Mattias about the mix and what he has up his sleeve towards the end of the year.

We’re excited to welcome Jannah to the mix series, a Utrecht-based DJ and dedicated vinyl enthusiast, whose love for digging runs just as deep as ours. She first came onto our radar last year when one of our label co-founders, Tywi, shared a lineup with her in the Netherlands where her set left a real impression.

In December she joined us for our club night at Nachbar, Amsterdam, and we’ve been (politely) pestering her for a mix ever since, hehe! We're very happy to share this deep, headsy hour long mix of 90s-inflected tech house, mixed by a pro. Raw, hypnotic and refined. Enjoy!

"Building this mix with recent dancefloors and memorable dancers in mind. The result is a a condensed representation of a peak time set you might find me play recently. Full of new and old records i've been enjoying recently in clubs and festivals. 

It starts with a 40 mins build up of rolling, rhythmic and consistent early 00s tech house tracks, leading up into an intentional 30 minute final flurry of good feeling inducing 90s ravey lifters. I'm really happy how it turned out, and maybe some of these records slip into my set at Multi Multi."

ANACAST 004 - ACEEDO

The German minimal DJ returns to the spotlight with two hours of artfully subtle house and techno.

There's an old German proverb that goes "Der stete Tropfen höhlt den Stein." Literally, it means a constant dripping wears away the stone, but the point isn't about force but patience: slow, steady repetition can leave the deepest mark. It's an apt metaphor for the career of Kosta Athanassiadis, better known as XDB.

Active since the early '90s, first as a DJ and then producer by the decade's end, Athanassiadis has built a career less on hype than persistence. His catalogue spans labels like Dial, Metrolux and Echocord, alongside a steady trickle of EPs and remixes that have quietly cemented his reputation as one of minimal house and techno's undersung heroes.

That patience carries into his sound and production ethos. Where many of his peers embraced software upgrades and new workflows, Athanassiadis has long stuck to Cubase, a handful of trusty instruments and 30-year-old speakers he claims to have run "hundreds of thousands of tunes" through. He also still prefers to use inexpensive, straightforward gear—what matters, he insists, is not the tools but the feel. The result is a sound that’s stripped back, direct and enduring.

Lately, Athanassiadis has found himself back in focus. With minimal enjoying fresh attention, his calendar has filled, and with it a run of back-to-back sets—most often alongside PLO Man, a regular sparring partner this year. True to form, though, you won't find that his style has changed much. Over 30 years after his first gig, you can rest assured you'll still find him playing with patience, carving out long arcs rather than sharp peaks.

His RA Mix captures him in a reflective mood. Running just over two hours, RA.1003 is a hushed yet absorbing affair, moving seamlessly from the delicate atmospherics of Valentino Mora and Caldera to the machine funk of Robert Hood, Solid Gold Playaz and Marcellus Pittman. There are left turns folded into XDB's patient narrative arc, too: John Carpenter's brooding scores here, DJ Sprinkles' melancholic work with Will Long on "Acid Trax N (Acid Dog)" there.

It's the sound of a DJ who has been quietly chiseling away for three decades, and who understands the value of persistence as much as restraint.

A Beyond Mix Vol. 11 - Milès Borghese

"SPOKEN WORDS" is DJ Kappah’s latest Afrohouse creation, blending pulsating African rhythms with deep electronic textures. Scattered spoken words emerge throughout the track, shaping a sonic journey of introspection and movement. In Dmin at 123 BPM, and just over 3 minutes long, it’s a short yet powerful experience made for both body and soul.
