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.

Afriqua - Spybar Radio Set (Live from Sentados en el Techo, Mallorca)

Recorded Live @ Detroit Love, San Francisco  // July 20th 2024 

My recorder has been all over the world with me, but I only recently started using it religiously. 10 years on the road taught me not to take moments for granted. You never know when (or if) you’re gonna play somewhere again. ⁣
⁣
Soooo I’ve collected a bunch of sets over the summer that Ima start sharing. A lot of them feature the same tracks, but I think you really hear the art of DJing in how different the same tracks can sound in different contexts. Plus… ijdgaf ⁣🤷🏽‍♂️
⁣
First .wav I’m sharing is from Detroit Love in SF where I got to play at Great Northern with one of my heroes Moodymann (Crowdstrike sadly kept Carl Craig stuck in the D). Keep an👂🏽out for:⁣
⁣
𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐱: 𝟓𝟎:𝟐𝟎 - These two tracks sound like they came from the same cinematic universe somewhere between the Jungle Book and Saturday Night Fever. ⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐱: 𝟒:𝟐𝟐 - Proof that good beat matching, FX, or fader tricks can’t overcome the harsh realities of harmony. I managed to escape, but only after lingering too long.⁣
⁣
𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: 𝟏:𝟏𝟑:𝟎𝟒 - Felt cocky dropping Da Dip after Da Whip, underestimated the power of Miami Bass, and had that shit gained up way too loud. Nearly blew up my recorder, but lemme tell ya... it worked on the night.

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?

June 19th is Juneteenth, an often overlooked but momentous day in American history that marks the emancipation of African-Americans from slavery. To commemorate it, I'm releasing my new single, 'Jumpteenth'. 

For the incredible significance which it holds, Juneteenth is a holiday that passes each year without much fanfare. You would imagine the streets overflowing with ecstatic song and dance, people in celebration of their freedom, unity, and evolution. But for most, it seems to be little more than a name on the calendar marking an event that we all wish was never necessary. 

African-Americans may deem it unworthy of attention, being all too aware of the continued process of protecting our freedom. For the rest of society, its going unnoticed is largely attributable to simple ignorance, and, sadly but truly, downright animosity in some cases too. In spite of that, though, it seems to me that Juneteenth would easily assume its position as one of the most important days of the year were it to be openly acknowledged for what it really is; the beginning of modern American culture. It’s the real Independence Day. 

Too often Black history and culture are exploited when enjoyable and ignored when unpleasant, both at home and abroad. But whether consciously or not, the innumerable people worldwide who daily enjoy the endless cultural contributions of Black people will always be imbibing the unique energy of the Black experience, stemming from all of its interchangeably beautiful and tragic truths and contradictions. 

Juneteenth is an occasion to celebrate both the liberation of a specific people in a specific country, but also and more importantly the freedom, individualism, and creativity that exploded into the world at large as a result of it. It’s a celebration of our capacity for change, and should be a reminder of how much unexpected beauty can emerge from the better angels of our nature prevailing.

Audio recorders tend to work in the club when you least want to hear, and fail when the party's the most lit! But the curse was broken in January with this recording at one of the best clubs in the game, Studio EW in Sofia 🇧🇬 🎶
