Lockdown 010 is coming in hot from Bristol. Admin is a DJ and producer who's behind some of our favourite releases recently, we also bonded over our mutual love of al things Mark Grusane. His productions and edits get regular plays on our dance floor, as well as his selections always being spot on.

He's responsible for the Slix Disco & Community Disc-O's parties in Bristol, which have welcomed some serious Chicago heavyweights such as Tone B Nimble, Mark Grusane and Darryn Jones. The parties also feature other Bristol heavyweights such as Mike Shawe, Simba, Paulo Fulci and others.

We hope you enjoy this mix as much as we did and stay up to date with what Admin is up to via the links below.

Rosto familiar na cena Londrina, o DJ Sam Don comanda o programa de rádio Free Association na Radio Netil, e também promove festas com o mesmo nome. 

Seus mixes são sempre ecléticos e inesperados, mas para a nossa edição 98 ele fica firme na hora mais quente da pista: house que acerta no 'sweet spot', um mix que evoca a saudades dos momentos de liberdade, união e amor que os momentos de comunhão musical proporcionam.

JOY SOCIAL MIX 018 - November 2021 Session

Last mix of the year 2021 comes from long time friend of the label Alex Ho (@j0-j0armani) out of Los Angeles who has just released his debut album 'Move Through It' with us. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Alex, you're known for being deeply involved in LA's party scene through your Moony Habits events for quite some years now. How did you roll into the music scene?

AH: Some friends of mine in college were doing parties at this smaller, 200 capacity club in Glendale. I was hanging around these nights, sort of helping out, and eventually decided to do some events of my own at this spot. Eventually I was doing parties at this other place 333Live in DTLA - Prince used to own the spot but then it ended up in the hands of ex-Chinese mafia guys. My last event there, we got shut down because the owners of the venue didn’t have a valid alcohol license and were missing a number of other permits. From there, I just started doing warehouse parties like a lot of other promoter friends were doing, and it became a regular thing. 

MFM: So you've been a promotor and DJ at first, yeah? When came the first steps into producing music?

AH: In college, I learned how to DJ first, yeah. At the time, I had the software for production but didn’t really know what I was doing - still don’t. But I started making some tunes that I actually liked in maybe 2017/2018, and that’s around the time I passed some stuff over to Jamie.  

MFM: Did the Covid situation affect your productivity?

AH: I had my ups and downs with Covid for sure. Isolation didn’t necessarily increase my productivity, it gave me a lot of time to think about my life and I think I just came to the conclusion that I need to be doing more. When Jamie brought up the idea of doing a 7 inch or an album, I didn’t want to just settle for the two songs so I went for the album.      

MFM: On a few songs you've collaborated with other artists too. Those guitar and percussion parts for example. How did that process go?

AH: On those ones I was actually feeling a bit stuck - I knew I had some good ideas but didn’t know where to take them. I passed the sketches to some friends and thankfully they were supportive enough to send back some nice elements that I wouldn’t have been able to produce on my own.  

MFM: What's the story behind the album cover? 

AH: For the cover, Jamie had the idea of using a photo of the city at dusk. I reached out to my friend Kaleb who’s an incredible photographer and he was able to make it happen. We originally had the idea to use a nice, vintage car along with a number of other props in the shot. We got a bunch of different shots on 2 shoots, but ended up narrowing it down to the simpler ones. 

MFM: Is there a masterplan now that you've got your debut LP out? 

AH: No real plan. I just know that I want to make more music. I’ve had a lot of help on this record - from additional instrumentation to extra mixdowns from friends. I want to be able to do it all on my own but still have similar results - I guess that’s a goal, to be a better producer. This doesn’t mean that I don’t want to collaborate with homies - I’ll likely be doing that more as it’s more real and rewarding, and it’s not just one big fantasy in my brain.

MFM: Let's talk about the mix. It actually took a while for you to, as you put it, “get in the DJ mood” and record it. How come? 

AH: It’s not that I need to get in the mood necessarily, I just haven’t been digging or thinking about DJing as much lately. I think a lot of people spent the pandemic/quarantine getting dope records and working on their DJ skills in preparation for this big reopening. And for me, despite being a party promoter, I think I got really comfortable being together with only close people in the last couple of years - being in the party feels a little foreign and crazy to me now. Hoping to catch the party bug again, but I’m trying not to force it!

MFM Mix 035: Alex Ho

Our guest for the last Worldwide FM show of 2021 was Gary Abugan aka Invisible City, representing Toronto with a guest mix in the second hour. Alongside being an incredible DJ, he’s the head of both Invisible City Editions, the record label responsible for some of our favourite reissues of recent times, and also the mouth wateringly good Invisible City record shop.
