We're delighted to share this week's podcast from Sugar Free, a DJ many attendees of Dimensions over the last few years will be familiar with, and rightly so, she's been quickly rising through the ranks as one of the scene's most sought after selectors, and it's clear to see why ✨

Sit back and enjoy this beautifully crafted mix; 70 minutes of exquisite records and tight mixing skills. Thank you Ale, this one’s a real treat.

DIM276 - Sugar Free

Pressure Dome label boss, Jen Hartley – better known as Yushh – is next to supply a flagship Crack Mix.

“I'm into so many different styles at the minute so it was hard deciding on the vibe I wanted to go for, so there are lots of energy shifts throughout the mix,” she tells us. “It's got some beautiful moments, some deep, moody moments and – of course – some wonky, weirdo high-energy bangers. I also wanted to take the opportunity to showcase some incredible new music from mates, some forthcoming Pressure Dome, and a new remix I've been working on, all of which I'm excited to share!”

Sully - GROW THE CULTURE Mix Series: #001

Of all the Berlin DJs who make a living spinning strange, I'm-not-sharing-the-tracklist kind of records, Sugar Free, originally hailing from Madrid, might be the most fun. She plays bold, colourful tracks with an air of sci-fi and sleaze, somewhere between Italo, hi-NRG, electro and house. (Her Dimensions Mix last year was one of our favourites of 2023.) She's the kind of DJ who messes with your perception of genres and tempos by how she blends tracks together, and also a DJ with a rare grasp of mixing melodies and moods—just check out the first transition of this RA Podcast for a spine-tingling example.

Sugar Free doesn't speak much publicly, and you won't find a lot about her on the internet. She prefers to let her DJing speak for itself. And her RA Podcast says a lot: proggy basslines, heart-in-mouth descents into reverb-heavy breakdowns, eerie vocals and a general feel of psychedelia and '80s decadence. It's difficult to tell what era these records are from, which is part of the charm. For a bonus point, try and pick out two just-completed Sugar Free originals, some of her first productions ever after her debut track came out on Limousine Dream in 2022.

This is part 1 of 3 of the recording from my set at Nowadays Nonstop on April 7, 2024.

I played from 9am-3pm, between JASSS and Bearcat, and it was one of the most creatively fulfilling sets I can remember playing – one of those sets where the audience, environment, atmosphere, tech setup, phase of the moon, whatever, all somehow lined up for a full 6 hours. And happily, the recording is maybe my favorite I’ve managed to capture to date. Huge thanks to Kristin for inviting me and to everyone who was there that morning.

In Focus: Bizzy B 060924

2 Hour tribute to Bizzy B's amazing 92-95 tunes, recorded by Equinox & me.

Bizzy is one of absolute best and most prolific producers of this music without question, so we couldn't possibly fit all his good 92-95 tunes into just 2 hours.. we'd probably need 8+ hours for those years alone! But hopefully we got a lot of the best in there.
