After a couple of lesser spotted DJ stars, we now look to someone who has blown up in a very short space of time. Based in the Windy City, The Black Madonna has not only released some highly sought after, steamy disco-house 12”s on Argot, Stripped & Chewed and The Nite Owl Diner, but so too has she started making her mark as chief booker at Chicago’s famous Smart bar. As well as this, she has found time to lay down sets all across Europe and North America and this latest podcast proves why the opinionated feminist is so in demand. It is a kinetic and athletic mix that goes from deep and heady to jump up and jacking, from diva vocals to dazzling disco and one that both starts and ends with a fat bottomed reggae swagger. 

She says of the mix: ”I had so much fun doing this. I got snowed in at the house where all the guys from Stripped & Chewed live. We're lucky the electricity stayed on. There was a terrible blizzard here! So I just stayed there and recorded. It's the first time I DJed since my hearing came back too. I had a little audience trapped with me, so was a great time.”

To commemorate the 50th official AYLI podcast, we're excited to share with you what might be the most in demand recording from the last five plus years: The Black Madonna B2B Mike Servito at AYLI's Roots 01.23.2016. Their performance closed out the night for the last four plus hours, well past sunrise. The chemistry between the two was obvious from the first record. Relive the night with us and take a listen. Quality.

i-DJ: Honey Dijon

Honey Dijon left Chicago for New York in the '90s, but you can still hear the swing and bump of the Windy City in the records she plays. It's a style that her friend Derrick Carter is also famous for, and at Electric Brixton on Saturday night, the pair, along with Gramophone's Michael Serafini, kept things bubbling as Sunfall festival transitioned into the night programme.

It is fair to say that for every Derrick May and Jeff Mills, the Motor City has produced a whole bunch of talented artists that never quite got the same acclaim. Kelli Hand aka K-HAND is surely one of those. The rather under the radar artist is one of Detroit’s most consistent performers, and has been for the last twenty years. Her music revolves around slick and robust drums and has come on essential labels like Underground Resistance, Warp and Tresor as well as more recently Nina Kraviz’s Trip. 

Deep seated as her roots are, K-HAND'S music is not all throwback stuff: this mix she has put together for us mixes up the old and the new, the choppy and the smooth. Underpinned by a darkly seductive energy, it bristles and brims with vocal laced breakbeats and swinging garage, glides through some smooth deep techno and gets loose with some wild style jams that will get you out of your seat.

Stockholm. House, Disco, Techno DJ.

Night shiners, big dot brains, gals with plans, mystic pizzas, art school dropouts, ex-virgins... Whoever you are: Tell your parents you’re studying. Be goldie not sorrie. You’re hustling for an endless supply and midnight don’t mess with dance distress. Pants are useless. Just put yer stomp boots on, yer cosmic aura and ritual red lips, screw the visors and just stay at my lil Soundcloud for a while. Your unfaithful ears’re so fuckin’ special.
