Master Sets Vol. 26

Nowadays, finding a good full-length album is challenging, which is a real shame. For decades, the LP was a beacon of artistic intention, but streaming platforms like Spotify have reshaped the way music listeners engage with music. To hold attention, it needs to stand out. It needs dynamics. Thankfully, 'Nostalgia,' the new Alex O'Rion full-length, does just that. We had an illuminating conversation with the producer about what makes this album such an essential listen.

To celebrate the release, the high-flying Dutchman provided us with an exclusive mix stamped with his usual seal of quality.

Marcelo Vasami B2B Nicolas Rada at Lemuria Boat Party All Day Long

Hi friends,
It's been a while, so here's the first 4 hours from my set at Stereo Montreal
Just a few words about that night: First of all, I had high expectations about playing in that legendary room. So many great DJs have played there, and many consider it the best club in the world. 
From the moment I started playing a few records, I found myself drawn to improvise to a more hypnotic, patient storytelling vibe rather than a straightforward approach. The amazing crowd made me feel like I could really take my time to build things up, so that’s exactly what I did—dark, hypnotic house & techno with groove.
Many thanks to Stereo Montreal and happy 25th anniversary!
Hope you enjoy.

Simon Vuarambon - Live at Stereo, Montreal - 21.09.2024

Melbourne has never shied away from producing progressive artists who explore the darker side of sound, and Mike Rish is the latest in a long line of esteemed talent to emerge from the city. Yet, he’s slowly carving out a unique niche—an unmistakable rogue-ish frequency that’s both chugging and energetic, playful yet serious. In fact, it’s a whirlwind of emotions at any given moment, but it's always there.

However, don't box him in as a merchant of the moody. When he’s not hiding in the shadows, he shimmers like glitter. Check out his latest on Anjunadeep Explorations, ‘Tú Attair’, and his remix of fellow Melburnian Jamie Stevens’ ‘Rivers’—both delectable slices of euphoric prog that will send the blood rushing to your head. Yes, he has game, and it's no stretch to say that Mike Rish is currently one of the globe’s most searing rising talents.

On this two-hour mix, the Australian delivers a set for the purists—starting with a slow, inviting build that eventually pulls you in like a vortex. Featuring tracks from Guy J, Pig&Dan, Argy, and a stellar chugging rework of the Hydrogen Rockers' classic ‘Musica’, this mix only solidifies the rumor that buying Mike Rish stocks is a sure bet.
