Cycliccast #1: Arni Jr.

Episode 72 welcomes Sweden based digger, producer, sound designing wizard Bolam to the CommaCast Series.

Founder of platform Earworm and a quickly developing name within the underground electro, tech and progressive house circuits, with celebrated releases on labels such as Space Dust, Slump and Haws, Bolam is a name that is consistently popping up on track lists around the world. Blessed to share with us a mix that combines old school warehouse rave culture with modernised takes on those old school sounds. We are gifted with an eclectically energetic hour and a half of  progressively trance fused house music bliss.

Thank you Bolam for getting involved with the series!

Kitsta w/ Baby Rollén - October 2023

Time Phase

This week we have our 'Live' Mix being presented from the 8th of August 2023 from a debut night at Ebloc, curated by a long-standing customer Alex Wanyoike.

With their 1st night, Soiree combined some of Manchester's finest selectors including our podcast guests Jeremy & Calmcee. The recording captures 3 hours covering everything from bumpy deepness right through to an elevated bpm of driving techy flavours with flashes of proggy / acid influences all whilst maintaining a serious groove that gradually builds and delivers.

Some words from the lads

“This is the full recording of our 3 hour warm-up set at Eastern Bloc back in August for Soirée, our good pal Alex’s new party. It starts out relatively chilled and restrained and gradually builds towards faster and tougher stuff in the final hour–we started off playing 3 records each but were going 1-for-1 by the end! It’s mostly all house and tech house from the late 90s and early 00s or other stuff that has a similar groove and vibe. Digging for this was a welcome break from our studio where we’ve spent countless hours working on our own material. Keep your eyes peeled for that–at some point, hopefully, maybe. In the meantime, thanks for having us and hope you enjoy the mix as much as we enjoyed playing!”

We hope you enjoy

TELL ME

A seasoned veteran DJ for over 25 years, he's done it all. Taimur conceived the infamous Blk|Market Membership parties in NYC from 2006-2017 and was a resident DJ. He was the head dance buyer and started the US distribution wing for many US labels at Halcyon Records shop from 2008 until 2016. Taimur’s work helped lead the resurgence of the local Brooklyn scene. With 18+ years of history and accolades for helping to revive one of the world’s most important dance music scenes, Taimur and Blk|Market Membership holds a highly esteemed position as architects of New York’s contemporary scene.

On the strength of these accomplishments, Taimur has devoted himself full-time to his DJ & production career and currently resides in Miami. He launched his vinyl only record label Blkmarket Music with wife Ostara in 2018 which features releases by Reade Truth, a 2 part Craig Richards's lost tracks with remixes by Rhadoo, Subb-an & Adam Shelton and more ; a collab between Taimur with Miami electro legend Gosub, two T.A.O (Taimur.Amo.Ostara) Ep's 'Enter your Mind' and 'Return to Life' EPs, Toronto's Hypnotic Mindscapes trio Payphone featuring Cosmic JD, an electro ep by JLM Werx, dancefloor jams by Thailand's DOTT, and Reade Truth’s sophomore 6 track mini album 'The Beauty of the Dark.' The latest release is his latest collaboration Taimur x Artro - Mindframe. 

He's also just started his new sub label Blkmarket Music Underground Party Edits with Ostara that focuses on DJ club edits. The first release was by DJ Spun's - Party Edits [BUMP-E000]

Forthcoming confirmed label(s) releases include T.A.O's 'Dreama' 2x12" Legends remix double pack, Buraye's 3 x 12" ‘Holographic Visitors’ Album, and EP by Taimur & Jean Pierre, Jay Tripwire, Facets, DJ Sweater, Francula, Oswaldo, Snuffo, Manuk, and Jovi & Alessandro just to name a few.

Between his record label(s), DJing gigs and producing, Taimur has also opened up a vinyl emporium with Ostara in Miami. T Bag Records Shop Miami was born on April 10 2021 and is a vinyl shop that is dedicated to strictly underground dance music of many genres both new, old and rare.
