This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show features @donato-dozzy, one of the country’s most profound electronic music producers and DJs, internationally renowned for the hypnotic and manifold ways in which he can create deep, absorbing techno trips.

Dozzy first honed his skills at the mythical squat-slash-club Brancaleone in Rome, before moving to Berlin in the mid-aughts, where he elevated his signature style even further with his “Dozzy’s Night” residency at Panorama Bar. Since then, he has gone on to grace line-ups alongside esteemed peers, such as Marcel Dettmann, Jeff Mills, Surgeon, and his compatriot Marco Shuttle.

As a producer, Dozzy first began to make waves in 2004, and has since gone on to release a string of EPs and albums on labels such as Spectrum Spools, Tresor, or The Bunker New York. In addition, he also runs three record labels. Dozzy Records, launched 2006, @spaziodisponibile, established in 2016 together with DJ and producer Giuseppe Tillieci aka @neel, and his latest label @magacircemusica, together with the Spanish graphic artist and DJ @aliciacarrera. 

For Carhartt WIP Radio, Dozzy conducted a mix that gently immerses the listener into his rich body of work playing classics like “Gol” and remixes he has done for other artists, like the legendary experimental electronic group Cabaret Du Ciel. As ever, we also sat down with our host, to discuss his musical upbringing, the exhausting life of a DJ, and politics on the dancefloor. Check the interview at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

For the first show of 2022, Carhartt WIP Radio welcomes @dj-spinna-1, the legendary hip hop and deep house innovator from Brooklyn, NYC.

For 30 years Spinna has been a vital part of his hometown’s music legacy. He launched his recording career as a member of the underground hip hop group Jigmastas, before going on to work with the likes of Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, and De La Soul. In addition, he has made his mark as a solo artist, releasing benchmark albums like “Here to There“ from 2002, as well as countless e.p.’s, compilations and remixes for legends and stars like Donald Byrd, Roy Ayers, Mary J. Blidge, or Steve Wonder.

Since his earliest days, he has been known as an eclectic dj, playing music at the cross-section of hip hop, house, soul, r&b, funk, and jazz. He is also an early proponent of parties dedicated to one artist. His “WONDER-full” DJ nights dedicated to Steve Wonder, and his “Soul Slam” events, better known as the “Michael Jackson VS Prince” parties, became celebrated gatherings all over the USA.
 
For Carhartt WIP Radio DJ Spinna has conducted a mix, which he describes as “time traveling through my early days of underground hip hop with my group Jigmastas and releases from our Beyond Real label, [before] journeying on with some of my earlier remix works and showing my evolution into House Music.”

In 2017, the group released its debut album “You Are Safe”. The collective gained further acclaim in 2022, after &ME and Rampa earned production credits on Drake’s 11th studio album “Honestly, Nevermind”.

Carhartt WIP Radio September 2024: Red Lebanese

For October’s edition of Carhartt WIP Radio, we’re welcoming London producer and songwriter Nathan Jenkins, also known as Bullion (@bullionness). 

Bullion made his debut in 2007 with the release of “Pet Sounds: In the Key of Dee,” a mashup project that remixed the music of J Dilla with The Beach Boys. Evolving this sample-led approach, he released the project “You Drive Me to Plastic” in 2011, composed of samples taken from YouTube clips, old vinyls, and incidental recordings.

A string of releases followed across labels including Honest Jon’s, R&S, and Young, before Bullion launched his own imprint DEEK Recordings in 2012, with the release of his 80s-pop-tinged EP “Love Me Oh Please Love Me.”

Alongside his prolific solo projects, Bullion often works with other artists, with credits ranging from Nilüfer Yanya and Sampha to Avalon Emerson and Ben Howard. Bullion’s latest album, “Affection,” highlights this collaborative aspect, featuring contributions from Carly Rae Jepsen, Panda Bear, and Charlotte Adigéry.

For this Carhartt WIP Radio episode, Bullion has created a mix featuring a vibrant blend of his solo work, as well as production for other musicians, and select remixes. 

Alongside the mix is an interview where Bullion discusses the influence of an early Pet Shop Boys album, the art of collaborating with other musicians, and his thoughts on technology’s effect on music. Read the talk via www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

Carhartt WIP Radio October 2024: Bullion

This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show is hosted by the Kaifeng-born, London-based composer, sound artist, and DJ @yu_su.

Since releasing her debut EP Preparation for Departure in 2018, the artist has emerged as one of the most versatile producers in electronic music, whether it’s creating meditative, downtempo sounds and rich, jazz-inspired textures, or blending echoes of Chinese classical with mid-tempo house.

In 2021, Su co-founded the label @bie-records, launching it with her debut album Yellow River Blue, which was recorded during a winter tour of mainland China, and is filled with glimmering synths, dubbed-out bass, and moments of 90s trip-hop.

The mix that Yu Su created for this month’s show radiates with the same vivid energy as her previous projects, telling “a story of the vast musical world” she inhabits. Listen to the mix and read an accompanying interview at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.

Carhartt WIP Radio November 2024: Yu Su

To close out the year, we’re bringing you a very special Carhartt WIP Radio episode featuring none other than Alan Daniel Maman – better known as @thealchemistofficial

A globally-renowned producer and DJ, celebrated for his significant contributions to hip hop, Alchemist grew up in the Westside of LA, immersed in skateboarding, graffiti, and music.

Alchemist started out as a rapper in the early 90s in the duo The Whooliganz, but his breakthrough as a producer came later in the decade, making beats for Dilated Peoples and Mobb Deep. By the early 2000s, Alchemist had risen to prominence with his signature sample-based production, which blended elements of jazz, soul, and psychedelic rock. This led to collaborations with rappers like Nas, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, and Ghostface Killah.

In 2004, Alchemist released his debut album “1st Infantry,” and his sophomore album “Chemical Warfare” in 2009, which featured contributions from Eminem, Pusha T, Talib Kweli and Twista. A slew of collaborative projects also followed, such as “Rare Chandeliers” with Action Bronson, “Alfredo” with Freddie Gibbs, and “Continuance” with Curren$y.

For this year’s final show, Alchemist delivers an exclusive mix that transports us back to 2000, a pivotal year marked by his move to New York, when he would cross paths with Mobb Deep’s Prodigy and Havoc.

The first show of the year takes us to Glasgow, Scotland, home of independent record label @12th-isle. Run by long-time friends Fergus Clark, Ruaidhri McGhee, Stewart Brown, and Al White, the label launched in 2016. Though not tied to a specific meaning, 12th Isle’s name nods to the expansive, otherworldly sounds it encompasses. Guided by the instincts of the label's founders, its releases span fourth world and jazz to dub techno, drone, and kosmische. These sounds are then brought to life visually through the esoteric, labyrinthine artwork of graphic designer Al White.

For this episode of Carhartt WIP Radio, Clark and Brown created a mix that highlights both classic and forthcoming label tracks. The selection includes mystic rhythms from RAMZi, Tarotplane’s dreamlike chimes, and subaquatic sounds from Vague Imaginaires.

Carhartt WIP Radio February 2025: In This Dunya

“Creativity is serious, sacred, and spiritual, but it’s also about play. It’s about freedom, tearing things down, and rebuilding.” Mala for Carhartt WIP Radio – March 2025.

Hailing from South London, the producer and DJ has been a leading figure in electronic music since the early 2000s, who as part of the legendary DMZ crew and label, pioneered a genre rooted in sound system culture – a genre we know now as dubstep.

In 2006, Mala founded his label @deep-medi-musik as a platform for more experimental releases. It has remained a vital force in underground bass music, with a roster of artists including Kaiju, Silkie and Goth-Trad.

Twenty years since Mala first made his mark on the scene, his influence is as strong as ever. For this episode of Carhartt WIP Radio, the legendary producer and DJ created a mix featuring tracks from the DEEP MEDi vault, alongside some new releases. The mix is accompanied by an interview, as Mala discusses the duality of art and science in music-making, his ethos of “building” sounds, and the significance of an artist’s story in their work.

For Carhartt WIP Radio, Juan Atkins has created a Metroplex anniversary mix that underlines the label’s innovative style, with tracks by himself, as well as his daughter Milan Ariel, and producers like Robert Hood.

Today, Smalltown Supersound continues to defy categorization, with recent releases from composer Kara-Lis Coverdale and UK producer Barker.

For this edition of Carhartt WIP Radio, Haugland discusses how Norway’s underdeveloped music scene drove him to create his own, why staying a curious music ‘fan’ is essential, and how making this month’s mix shifted his perspective.

Carhartt WIP Radio June 2025: Smalltown Supersound

Carhartt WIP radio travels east and features a funky Origami Productions mix by DJ BAKU. The Japanese based label was born from the 'Tokyo Jam Scene' - an underground movement started in the Shibuya district in 2006 involving musicians, singers, and rappers. The scene encouraged improvisation within the diverse fields of Jazz, hip hop, soul, funk, reggae and rock. The results were unique to those having grown up in Japanese music culture. In 2007, intent on bringing the 'Tokyo Jam Scene' to the world stage, Yoshi Tsushima pulled together a creative team and called it Origami Productions, which now distributes releases to Asia and Europe. The label has since composing, recording, mixing and generating their own artwork, as well as collaborations with painters, photographers, graphic designers, and such musical luminaries as Arrested Development, Hocus Pocus and Stephanie Kay, sharing the music and art of Shibuya with the world. DJ Baku's mix sheds a light into that world. Enjoy.

Carhartt WIP Radio April 2016: DJ Baku - Origami Productions Radio Show

Carhartt WIP fan Glen Earl Boothe, raised in New Jersey and Philadelphia and now based in Los Angeles, is better known as Knxwledge - an instrumental Hip-Hop producer with a love of Jazz, Soul, old skool Hip-Hop and modern Rap, all of which have a profound effect on his creativity. After dozens of remixes and collections of his countless tracks on Bandcamp (compiled on Leaving Records' 'Anthology' from 2013), Knxwledge has produced for the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Joey Bada$$, released several LP’s on labels like Stones Throw and All City Records and has recently collaborated with Anderson Paak as NxWorries for the LP  “Yes Lawd!”, released on Stones Throw. For Carhartt WIP radio he has now prepared an exclusive mix that consists of his very own, mostly unreleased Knxwledge material.

Carhartt WIP Radio December 2016: Knxwledge - Radio Show

This month Carhartt WIP Radio features a musical journey by producer, DJ and Akashik Records co-founder Ringgo Ancheta, aka Mndsgn. Raised with Gospel music at church and B-Boy culture at home in south New Jersey, he began experimenting with beat making when he was 14, before befriending fellow producer Knxwledge. The two would eventually go on to form the influential Klipmode collective.

After moving to Los Angeles, Mndsgn's music flourished, catching the attention of labels such Stones Throw and Leaving Records, who put out his albums Yawn Zen, Surface Outtakes and Body Wash. His latest project is titled Snax – a mixtape brimming with esoteric hip hop flavours and freshly cut Mndsgn remixes, and one which also serves as the debut release for his brand new label Ringgo.

About to embark upon a European tour – presented by Carhartt WIP – which will take him to Lisbon, Madrid, Cologne, Berlin, London, The Hague and Milan, we asked him to prepare a show that focuses on the releases of Akashik Records, the little DIY label he has run with his buddies Alima and Shane Sakanoi since 2015. The result is a unique, nonchalant mix of twisted contemporary electronics, driving funk, hot soul, agitating hip hop, and silky R&B.

For this month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show we bring you FloFilz, one of Germany’s most in-demand hip hop producers. Since 2013 he has released instrumental records on labels such as Melting Pot Music and Jakarta, with a style that seductively blends soul- and jazz-influenced grooves.

For his Carhartt WIP Radio show, he melds older work with tracks from his upcoming album "Transit".

Carhartt WIP Radio November 2019: Moodymann plays Motown Radio Show

While London’s music scene has rightly received considerable attention in recent years thanks to its burgeoning grime and drill scenes, the work of west London MC Lord Apex eschews this categorization, with a sound that skews more stateside. Notably, he cites Knxwledge as one of his favorite producers, and his particular strain of neo-soul infused beats. Much of Lord Apex’s music sits within this hard-to-define genre, which seeks to provide a contemporary framework for hip hop’s lingua franca. But despite the evident sonic influence of American rap on Lord Apex’s, his smooth distinct drawl and subject matter leave you in little doubt of his London credentials.

For Carhartt WIP Radio, Lord Apex takes us on a rhythmic journey, assembled by his friend DJ Corrado, showcasing his own vast catalogue of tracks. As ever, we also sat down with this month’s host to discuss his musical upbringing, how London influence’s his sound, and hip hop on both sides of the pond.

Carhartt WIP Radio May 2020: Lord Apex Radio Show

Exclusive mixes, directly from the artist.
 
Launched in 2008, Carhartt WIP Radio serves as a platform for spotlighting artists and record labels around the world. Each episode is curated by the artists or labels themselves, offering a one-hour mix of carefully selected tracks – past, present and forthcoming. From Sahel sounds to adventures in bass; hip hop to eclectic electronics; or house to techno, versatility is key.
 
Accompanying each episode is an interview that delves into the stories behind the artists, offering a glimpse into their creative processes and unique perspectives on the music industry.
 
Listen to the show on the official Carhartt WIP Radio App for iOS: bit.ly/W5yC1D.
