Da Whip

Made to keep tings hot as tings cool down. Transport ya self to a time when people danced like nobody was watching, and don't forget...

Da Whip 💣

They said it couldn't be done. A single USB couldn’t handle so much sauce. So many styles couldn't be mixed without losing the crowd. It might have worked in the 90s, but times have changed. They said a lot of things… But on the 14th of July, at the Ritual Gatherings festival in Bulgaria, the naysayers were proven wrong. 

Many there that day said it was the moment they first gained pelvis awareness. At least 17 people were reported to have called their mothers immediately after the final track. An overlooked Bulgarian techno legend who hasn't spoken at a party since 2005 set his Rakia on the bar, nodded approvingly, and uttered a single word… “добре”

A lone cassette tape made it out of Bourgas that night - surreptitiously recorded by an unknown local. We're thankful that this moment in dance music history was captured, for it is a testament to the power of good music, the indefatigable human spirit, and the long-standing love between Afriqua and the Bulgarian people.

DJ MIX @ RITUAL GATHERINGS

AFRIQUA || DJ MIX @ RITUAL GATHERINGS || 07.14.2023

Take it 2 Da House

Recorded Live @ Rumors, Playa Soleil, Ibiza // June 28th 2024

Most people like to play peak time, some people like to warm up, but I think the most underrated DJ maneuver is the dancefloor switch, when the party gets started in one area and moves to another. It's a very specific chess problem: everybody is 3 drinks deep, the floor will be full in less than 2 songs (if yr gud), but you're still starting to the emptiest dancefloor imaginable getting PTSD from your time on the Bar Mitzvah circuit.

Such was the case when Guy Gerber invited me to play Rumors in Ibiza this past summer. I took the stick and move approach. Stick em with one ambient joint and then move fast. I think I handled it pretty well, but you be the judge.

Best Mix: 1:29:00 - One of my most evil unreleased joints into the most evil Unknown to the Unknown release of all time. Total confusion.

Worst Mix: 59:22 - This one also features one of mine, a Kendrick edit I was having fun playing during the height of the beef. Maybe I'm being hard on myself since I should have known better, but I think the moment you realize two songs are out of key you should urgently fade out the first one. And yet I had to keep riding the mix 🤦🏽‍♂️ 

Had to be there: 1:33:08 - I love my sex. Need I say more?

Afriqua, VVarholla - Love Me on Repeat

Afriqua Floyd Miami 11-21-24

Party-starting stompers from a crossover star.

Even if you've never met Adam Longman Parker, AKA Afriqua, you can get to know him pretty well through his music. His lyrics ("Would you house me in a house, would you house right in my mouth?" from "Dr. House"), track titles ("Wagwan Bhagwan?") and cover art exude a charmingly cheeky demeanour that makes his music personable. It helps that his latest records are absolute smashers–funk bombs with jacked beats and bouncy grooves.

Once ensconced in the minimal world, the Virginia-born artist gravitated towards Miami bass, Midwest house and zesty techno before the pandemic. Thankfully so: his recent discography combines Moodymann's slinky swagger with The Neptunes' killer sense of rhythm. Just like those legendary acts, Parker carries weight in both the underground and mainstream—he's released with Tomorrowland label CORE Records and DJ'd at Ibiza superclubs, while still appealing to more headsy crowds.

His career expansion hasn't cost him his principles, either. A champion of Black history and culture, the classically-trained pianist infuses overlooked Black musical traditions like psyfunk into his work. Coloured, his debut full-length, was a tribute to what he called the "Black musical tree."

"Genre is just temporary housing," the now Berlin-based producer noted in a recent Instagram post. That mentality informs his RA Podcast. From '90s-inspired house and luxurious harp melodies to some of his originals and even a "Satisfaction" remix, it's a celebration of unpretentious, feel-good music. Put simply, it slaps—hard.

'Corona Cookin' is a video series I started at the beginning of the quarantine to share my studio process. It's been a fun project which has energized my creativity with realtime feedback, and also kept me sane. 

By popular demand, I'm sharing the track from the most recent episode. Enjoy! 🔥
