Every Tuesday, join me for a new hour of House and Techno, mixed by myself and some very special guests from Asheville, North Carolina, and the surrounding regions.

Well, well, well... What do we have here? Just Double Helix coming at you with a set showcasing our new Hybrid Live project! This iteration of our dynamic duo includes some smooth as silk selections and mixing from the one and only Peri Meters and live guitar by myself, Aidan Rolfe. These sets, notably my playing, are entirely improvised, so while it is a little rough around the edges, we decided it was a great way to give you a taste of what you'll see in our upcoming gigs... of which there are plenty, thankfully. We hope you enjoy, and we'd love your feedback!

Synth Etiquette Radio | Episode 123 | Double Helix (Hybrid Live Set)

A brand new guest on the show is always a treat. Please welcome Travis Christian for his debut!! He brings 2 hours of house and techno full of grooves and moves that we just love to hear. 

Some words from the man himself:

"Lately I've been giving a good deal of thought to the concept of resonance. In the natural world we observe objects that resonate with particular frequencies. A certain length sound wave can cause the right crystal to vibrate, even sing. Tuning forks resonate our ear drums, or not, confirming that we can or cannot hear a particular frequency. The eqs and filters producer use on our tracks allow us to increase the resonance of particular frequencies within a synth note or sample. So when we say something resonates with us, what we really mean is that it connects to our frequency. It's on our wavelength. It matches our vibration. While no single track, song or sound could ever express who we are in total, an aesthetic, a "whole vibe" can.

Having just launched and started the process of building my own label Shadow Mined Recordings, I am very thankful to Aidan and Synthetiquette Radio for the opportunity to share the sound that represents my resonant frequency. For this mix, I wanted to put together a set of tracks, some older, some new, at least one that may never see the light of day, that reflect as closely as possible the aesthetic, the frequency that SMR is built on and continually aims for. It's a sound that resonates and reflects back to me parts of myself I perhaps would not have discovered in its absence. It describes who I am in a meaningful way where words fail. In a sense, I consider this vibe, this feeling, an introduction to who I am and what I'm about, not only musically, but at a deeper, unspoken level I am still, and always will be, in the process of discovering."

Back in April of this year, Synthetiq Frequencies got together and kicked off an incredible partnership at one of our favorite venues, Rusty Lotus. Double Helix played a hybrid live set that, to this date, they believe to be their best work yet. While every live set has improved on the last, and they've been proud of their new direction and innovations, this set was surrounded by an electric dance floor who were beyond receptive of what they brought to the table. We've waited long enough to bring you this set, and if you're on the fence about coming to check out this live act, we hope this steers you in the right direction. Listen as Peri Meters effortlessly mixes the perfect foundation for Aidan's improvisations below. We hope you enjoy!!

Live @ Love Burn 2023 | Sky Bar | Thursday

No need to introduce LA-based techno legend Drumcell to our cast of RYC fellows, the man’s CV speaks for itself. Hard-hitting and brainy, Drumcell’s signature is one of mixed essence, ruggedly agressive yet endowed with levels of production intricacies and future-facing relevancy that can not but command admiration, as evidenced by his background of top-level efforts for Chris Liebing’s CLR, Blank Code and his own imprint, Droid Recordings. True to his ubiquitous style, Drumcell treats us to a dizzyingly vibrant mix of high-powered, kick-heavy industrial thunder and knee-buckling bass manoeuvres, which promises to have the club door's hinges flying off and the building’s foundations shaken askew. Zeroed in on busting every damn sign of breathing, raving life in its wake.

Oh heyyyyy! I had the pleasure of laying down another set for the wonderful crew holding it down at Sparkle Motion a couple weeks ago!  This camp always brings an amazing experience to Emergence Burn, and I got to play some of my favorite funky tunes while the LED dome lit up the night.  Hope you enjoy <3

The sounds of the urban underground, Alexander Technique is back to take you to school with a lesson in Street Knowledge

Street Knowledge

Alexander Technique - Street Knowledge (MASTER)

During the late 90's, Twilo was a NY institution. Hosting the legendary residency of Sasha & Digweed as well as Junior Vasquez's weekly residency during this time. There were two booths at Twilo - one which was built for Junior which was perched above the crowd and one for the guests which was just elevated above the floor on one end of the club.

Josh would embark on a residency at Twilo during this time that became an Ovum Recordings night which allowed him to showcase many of the artists releasing on the label. 

On this night the opening set was from DJ Dozia. This was also a special evening as it was the release party for Josh's mix compilation Profound Sounds Volume 1. During this time, the label was distributed by Sony Music worldwide and this was a big event having Josh playing in the labels home city. There were various press requests including a request to film. This was quickly shut down as there was no video to be taken inside the club (How times have changed!). Josh took over the decks and at this point in the evening legendary sound man Steve Dash would open up the system. As the headliner took over, it was like the room transformed. I can still envision the circular light that sat above the dance floor as well as the huge disco ball all coming to life as the set started to build. 

Well turn up the volume and prepare to dive into two hours of bliss as Mr. Josh Wink takes you on a journey showing his true musical diversity and understanding why many always called him the DJ's DJ. 

Shout out to Steve Dash, Mike Bindra, Paul Morris, Todd Horn, Izzy Monk, Neil Lawi, and everyone who was involved in this special evening and of course to all the clubbers. #Staysafe #Stayhome

Ovum Night @ Twilo NYC -  Josh Wink(7 - 24 - 99)

Adventurer in the immeasurable realms of techno, house, and funk. Host of Synth Etiquette Radio.
